Borg Nanites

posted on April 26th, 2005, 1:14 pm

i was thinking, nanites haven't changed much since A1, and it's a really stoopid weapon(if we can call it that), it does no damage, and it's very annoying, so i had an idea to totally change the nanites, so that they would no longer make the menus bounce, but if they infest a ship/station you would loose control over it for 10/15 secs, it's much more reealistic, and it would spice up the game.

aye, i think nanites are sh*te, really would the borg make a virus that just pisses off the target? " you will be assimalited, but first we shall wind you up a bit by making it so you can not click on anything!!! hahaha! resistance is and always has been futile!"

indeed, but they shouldn't last long, and an idea, that nanites takes a random ship(stations discluded) would be extremely good, and the diamond would loose all of it's special energy and the research would cost credits as well, but i think this idea has alot of promise

I like that idea but if it were to cost credits it should hit multiple ships for the research to pay for itself.

not neccesarily, since you would pay only for the research, any you would instantly get a ship, if used with skill, a diamond could take an unlimited ammount of ships, if the ship is keept out of harms way of course

I think the nanites are fine as they are, they dont do any dam but they are annoying, which is their purpuse after all, so I vote let them stay as they are

well as was said, why would the borg develop a weapon, that would annoy the enemy??

that's a good idea too, but i still prefer the taking-ship style, or nanites could disable all systems for 15 secs

I still stick to the way they are now. And btw borg didnt develope a weapon to annoy their enemy but to confuse them and make it hard for them to give orders in a battle, which is certanly true with the nanites
