Borg Nexus As One Building

I think some of you missed what Doca said, the borg will not have a moduar base, it isn't possible in A2 to make shipyards as a module they have to be seperate (it is in A1 before anybody starts arguing about seeing one which was westworlds and was for A1). Perhaps the yards could be seperate and have one large reserach complex this is possible.

Optec however said they will have much more borgy style of gameplay which has got me intregede. Roll on V3

This 'borgy' concept has piqued my interest...

It would be very interesting to make the borg less dependent on buildings and more on ships. When Voyager went through all of Borg space did they see any stations? Nope. And the reason why is because the Borg have their cubes as stations. Which is better? A borg spacestation stuck somewhere in space patrolling an area of space, or having a ship of equal power and size having speed greater than most other races ships , better yet, let the cube able to assimilate other ships, recrew automatically, decommission ships and make new borg vessels . That seems like the borg to me, the borg are the ultimate users which Q pointed out. They come in, assimilate everything planets/ships/stations incorporate their technology to the borg than use those materials to make more borg ships. And the probable reason why the borg has that huge nexus in that remote space is because of their war with Species 8472. The station is in a remote part of the galaxy and is heavily fortified; this would have probably been a hide out for the borg if their war with Species 8472 didn't go that well. mg:

this is true that there were not "many" borg stations, but dont forget the borg go out and assimilate most of the stuff they have. however, for gameplay purposes, having only a couple of types of stations will put the borg at a huge disadvantage. where will they do their research? what will support their main station while the ships go out to attack? what will build their ships? having the borg cube build ships has been discussed before and i think generally it was not wanted. having the cube build its own weapons (through the tech assimilation beam (perhaps given by the assimilation avatar) is more than enough i'd say)

and about the nexus being quite new... i doubt it, i get the feeling that it has been there for quite a while. no doubt they had added to it recently, but i think the general structure had been there for hundreds of years (dont forget the borg have been around for quite a while).

oh yeah welcome quite a first post there
