Have you all seen the pictures of the Enterprise from the trailer?

All I saw in that trailer was the Enterprise being build by hand, on the ground, by guys with primitive looking welding tools and protective gear... so much for the canon fact that the NX-02 Columbia was build in orbit...

yeah.. lol
Enterprise NX in orbit, but Enterprise NCC on the ground.
NX built by 22nd century tech, while the NCC one is built by 20th century welders taken into the future by 27th century temporal technology. That's cos Starfleet was tired of all the modernity, and wanted the NCC spaceship to be a remodel of the 50s Chevrolet.
See, it all makes sense now..lol.

Jeesh, these remakes and prequels keep miffing up the continuity and fun of the originals!
Look at what AvP and its sequel ended up doing to the 2 franchises....

Will ships that have been assimilated be able to then upgrade/regenerate and have the other various borgish abilities available?

One thing I've always wondered... would it make sense for other races to even be able to pilot/run most Borg ships? I know this would alter gameplay quite a bit, but wouldn't it only be feasible for other races to capture only the smaller Borg vessels as the bigger ones (such as cubes) require a vast crew as well as a link to the Collective to function?

it is still posspible to board borg vessels, but as for all races you will no longer be able to build their units and stations if you captured a constructor (you will get your mixed-tech features instead). But Borg Vessels have very high crew counts

I just finished watching the Voyager episode "Collective", and it made me wonder if it'll be possible to have cubes tractoring immobilized vessels into their internal hangar and stripping them for crew and resources/parts?

It could be implemented as a special weapon with a probability to succeed, depending on how big the targeted ship is and the ship that targets it.

For example, a sphere would've little problem with an Intrepid, but a Sovereign would most likely resist. A Tactical Cube should be able to assimilate even the largest ships, but the cooldown would have to be pretty long in order to compensate for it.

Also, while a Borg vessel is trying to tractor another into their hangar, it should be made vulnerable to attack...after all, its hangar bay doors will have to be open :p
