# Borg Rankup system Concept version Alpha

Summary: The Borg rankup system is based off of two types of ranking, Assimilation and Extermination. This is a dual system which will require a lot of work in order to be accomplished. In each system there are 3 ranks.

Assimilation System: This system is very hard to rank up in. But it is very easy to fly up the ranks if you do it well. Basically you have to assimilate enemy (non-borg) ships. If you are to achieve this than you can expect great things to come out of it. There are 10 Assimilation slots, unlike most, you can exceed 10 slots. Basically when you assimilate a ship it gives a certain amount of slots. Once all 10 are achieved you can become an Assimilation Prime (a Prime is a borg version of a veteran).

Assimilating Slot System:
Scouts - 1 slot
Unarmed Stations - 1 slot
Destroyers and Cruisers - 2 slots
Artillery Cruisers and fighter Carriers - 3 slots
Frigates and Battleships - 4 slots
Experimental Battleships and Dreadnoughts - 5 slots
Armed Stations - 6 slots

Assimilation Slot Ranking:
3 - 5 slots achieved = Sub-Prime
5 - 9 slots achieved = Secondary Prime
All 10 slots achieved = Assimilation Prime

Ranking Display:
Sub or Secondary Prime = 1x Red Borg Insignea
Assimilation Prime = 1x Silver Borg Insignea


Extermination System: This system is quite easier to achive than the Assimilation system. But it takes longer to rank up. This is a five stage system that has its highest as Combat Prime.

Extermination Point System:
Fighters - 1 pt
Scouts - 5 pts
Destroyers - 8 pts
Unarmed Stations (Research facilities, shipyards, etc.) - 10 pts
Cruisers - 12 pts
Artillery Cruisers - 15 pts
Turrets and Sensor Arrays - 15 pts
Frigates and fighter Carriers - 20 pts
Battleships - 30 pts
Experimental Battleships and Dreadnoughts - 40 pts
Starbases and Special stations - 50 pts

* Mixed tech adds 5 points to ship value

Extermination Slot Ranking:
Drone = 0 - 150 pts
Preliminary = 151 - 300 pts
Secondary = 301 - 550 pts
Vice Prime = 551 - 799 pts
Combat Prime = 800 pts

Ranking Display (Rank displayed seperate from assim. rank):
Drone = No Display
Preliminary = 1x Green Borg Insignea
Secondary = 1x Bronze Borg Insignea
Vice Prime = 1x Half Bronze half Gold Borg Insignea
Combat Prime = 1x Gold Borg Insignea


Summary (Continued): When the maximum rank of both systems has been achieved, then the Vessel can upgrade to a rank (like how other races can upgrade to a veteran) to the Rank of Collective Prime. Only one ship can achieve this rank, Yet there are 3 chassis compatible for the rank up system. Once a Borg vessel becomes Collective rank than it will get its new abilities. Listed below are the details related to this.

Compatible Chassis:
 - Sphere
 - Diamond
 - Cube

Sphere's Prime abilities:
 - Energy Beam can now attack up to 6 targets
 - Gravimetric Torpedoes (if not previously equipped than torpedoes will be added) are able to fully penetrate enemy sheilds
 - Ship Regeneration rate increased by 40% (compared to if you did not equip a regen mod)
 - Vessel gets Regenteration Special ability (if not already equipped, energy consumption reduced by 50%)
 - All attributes increased by 6

Diamond's Prime Abilities:
 - Energy Beam can now attack up to 3 targets
 - Gravimetric torpedoes can now fully penetrate enemy sheilds (20% chance of disabling an enemy system)
 - Range increased to artillery
 - Ship Regeneration Rate increased by 30% (compared to if you did not equip a regen mod)
 - Equipped with Transwarp Ability (takes up 90% of special energy; rang equals Longer than Artillery)
 - Sensor Range increased by 50%
 - All attributes increased by 6

Cube's Prime Abilities:
 - Energy beam can now penertate enemy sheilds (20% of disabling sheild system)
 - Gravimetric torpedoes can fully penetrate enemy sheilds (40% chance of disabling enemy system)
 - Range increased to long
 - Holding Beam now is able to Beam 10 Borg Drones per second (range increased to long)
 - Equipped with tactical Armor (if not already equipped; decreases damage from Beam and torpedo weapons by 50%)
 - Able to detect cloaked vessels within sensor range
 - Sensor Range increased by 45%
 - All attributes increased by 10
