Well hi to everyone in the forums as this is my first post. Now 3 ideas for the borg.
1) I think the borg shouldn't be able to research shield, weapons and lifesupport upgrades. What I think is that the borg should have to assimilate a ship then put it through a station which scans it and dissasembles it. This then gains the borg upgrades to there ships but different amounts depending on the type of ship you capture so if you capture a Destroyer you may only get an upgrade of 5% but if you capture a battle ship you can get an upgrade of say 30%. I think this is a little more borg like an would make players want to assimilate ships more because if they do they get the upgrades, but there would have to be a limit to the number of upgrades and also im not sure if this is possible
2) Secondly I was thinking of more adaptation like the first but would be a special weapon used by maybey the cubes, what i was thinking was the special weapon would scan the ship, this would then lead to a 30 second boost to the cubes shields and weapons, so there adapting, i know that it would last forever cos i cant see the borg forgetting somthing like how to destroy a ship easier but this would make the borg a little too unbalenced so 30 secs seems alright
3) Finally I think the borgs holding beam should be tweaked to make it a little easier to assimilate ships as its a little hard at the moment
Hope you concider some of my ideas and i can't wait for the release of beta 3.

Hi, good ideas.
My Idea of the Borg would be:
- No Scout, the Interceptor (with Transwarp) will do the job.
- All other ships have Transwarp, Regeneration and Assimilation Beam(blue)* and other Borg-SPWs, eg. only the Adaptor has the TechAssBeam*
- The Cube doesn´t have Transwarp
- The Borg Ships are much stronger than same ranked ships from other species
- All Borgships are upgradeable to Tactical Borg Ships (e.g. by Evolving), wich means more Hitpoints and a Holding Beam(green)* instead of a Assimilation Beam(blue)*
- There should be a smaller variant of Borgships: Interceptor, Sphere, Assimilator, Adaptor, Diamond, Cube, Fusion Cube and the Tactical variants of each should be enough.
- They don´t have much bases: The HQ, "Research Buildings", Turrets, Sensor and Shipyard belong to one upgradeable Unicomplex, Resource Buildings and extra Turrets and Sensor are not connected.
- A fully equiped Tactical Fusion Cube should be able to easily destroy a 16 ships armada, but should be very expensive, cost credits, and only be buildable very late with all technology researched.
*or what the equals of the SPW in FO are(I didn´t play FO very often yet)
