I bet the AI's fine, fewer ships bumping into each other, trying to find their way around!

The difference is that the starship is built arround the Collective Uplink and that the Collective Uplink becomes part of the final vessel. You will have to build a new Collective Uplink for each unit. A Collective Uplink features no repair or disassembling functionality.

...So, that seems to imply that the Borg have another station featuring those capabilities.
Or, in a unforeseen twist, will the borg completely lack station-borne repair and disassembly options?

yep, Borg can neither repair their ship at yards (hell where to dock a cube on an Antaras yard..) nor recrew them via yards. They can recrew all vessels like stations.

Will the Borg ships and stations all have a Regeneration button that makes repairs on their ships, But the ship cannot move or fire at other ships, and at the expense of not being able to untoggle this feature until the ship is repaired?

nope, the regeneration special ability is only available if a unit carries at least 2 regeneration modules. the only "basic-borg" unit capable of that is the sphere (there might be additional avatar units)
A single regeneration module can how ever be installed in all borg units, passively increasing the repair rates.

What can I say... You guys just keep improving and improving FO. You have incredible ideas and I really am happy that you wait long enough to see them trough to perfection so it really does improve gameplay A LOT. That of course means that it takes a long time between mod releases which sucks for us fans  . It also has to be said that the old A2 engine is starting to show some serious signs of ageing, especially if you compare it to the new RTS's. Oh well, Im always going to be a fan of this mod thats for sure since it brought me countless hours (days even) of pleasure by playing online (the only game I was really into online till now). I only hope, for the sake of all of us that some gaming studio sees some more potencial in Star Trek and starts developing Armada 3, or any other ST RTS so maybe, just maybe the FO team starts working on it  Anyways, real good job as always Maybe the Borg will become my favorite race again |
