For me the best thing about BORG is that You don't have to build costly defences because You can attack quicker than your enemy. Explain me this, in my opinion the borg cant really hope to rush any other race as other races ships are cheaper and so your enemy can build more of them. And if that isnt enough Borgs freighters and mining stations are more expensive and u also have to build incubation centers in thebeginning because if u dont u'll have problems with building larger Borg stations that cost more crew. So this would put u at an disadvantage at later stages, and if your fleets get destroyed by more numerous Rhienns or Bops  I must admit that your trick with the transwarp adaptation is a good one and I also agree with u that u must upgrade weapons as fast as possible. BUT that strategy when u warp behing enemys lines is useless in closed maps as u have to research space first and then u can warp there  So for me the best strategy for the Borg is not to attack at the beginning, cause if your attack fails u r at an disadvantage and also not wait for the opponents battleships. Borgs best ships are the middle ones(cruisers adn so) and by this I mean especially Spheres and also scout cubes. So u just make a fleet of these ships and your fleet is good against small, medium and also big targets<----because of the scout cubes torps. U make a fleet or 2 of these ships and noone can stand against u  I have to say I love the borg they were my favorite race for quite some time, but voyager has ruined them for me so now my favorite race is the dominion, which u all will find out when v3 comes out when u'll get your arse kicked by them  And also Kaiser von Tiberius I think Azraael was right when he said your strategy seems a bit add, sure u can build that big fleets, but think what your opponent has by then. He has either totally bunkered himself and u aint getting to him or he has build tons of ships and belive me really TONES of them, just think about how long it takes to build just 1 cube  Thats all I have to say for now

Tiberius will do, or Ti, thank you.
Yes, it is a bit cumbersome, but as I said that's the ideal. That should be the goal. You're quite correct when you say cruisers are quite powerful and adequate for most jobs. Building up a fleet or two of cubes would be the ideal solution, as that would be capable of soundly crushing most enemy defenses, but it is my no means a requirement. Like I said, I like to wait untill I'm ready to engage and enemy on my own terms and to my best advantage, like any good commander, but I am also willing to settle for my best opportunity.

strategy when u warp behing enemys lines is useless in closed maps as u have to research space first and then u can warp there Well, the real trick about transwarp is that You can go past enemy defenses right to the research centers f.e. First You can use one or two interceptors to scout past asteroids belts and there You have it (about fog of war). And yes, I agree with You that waiting a little longer while playing BORG would be obvious, but have a little faith there. For producing adaptors You only need 1 or 2 incubators, and they cost more metal than dilith, so when producing both interceptors and adaptators You are spending Your funds in a economic way. Just think about the destruction You will make in the fleet fo your enemy when he suddenly has no way to produce cruisers or battleships, and his weapons and shields have no upgrades... You are propably right about those rhiens and bop, but it's always true anyway, so this doesn't ruin my theory.

I now remembered about The most destructive trick ever. It is avalaible during later stages of the game. Take a fleet od adaptors and adapt desintegration from command cube.... like always resistance is futile.  by the way chinmaya welcome to the forum. V3 is the next version of Fleetops - upcoming in a month (?)

First You can use one or two interceptors to scout past asteroids belts and there You have it (about fog of war). If u do that the enemy knows what r your plans and he defends all of his key facilities or builds a large fleet quickly, at least a smart player Also I kind of dislike the adaptors due to their low HPs and not so strong weapons

He can't protect everything, and the same time build invasion forces. With those 2 interceptors it's just about discovering some ground so you can warp there. If You discover whole sector where enemy base is located he wan't know where You will strike.

Every borg player I played against used that transwarp strategy so I dont know if thats paranoid, and I dont think build turrets around every building but build ships and place them about in the middle of your base

If I am against a borg I throw turrets everywhere, but usually the people i'm against never even get to the point where they can send interceptors at me.

use the tech assim on the cubes with holding beam then gather fleets of say 3 cubes and the rest if adaptors and assimilators
its ******* funny i just played hard AI my credits went off the scale thanks to all the assimilated steams and galaxys lol i ended up having enough akiras to make it a fleet lol
