Okay, I was wondering if any of these geometric shapes could make an interesting borg ship. you guys can look it up if you don't know them.

New Cruiser: Dodecahedron
Base Weapons:
- Energy Beam

Module slots: 4 (Optimize: 5)

Usable Standard Modules:
- Torpedo Module (2)
- Beam Module (3)
- Mix Tech Modules (Only one of each per vessel)

Usable Avatar Modules:
- Nanite Factory (1)

EDIT: Ship has been added in 3.12... I just need the others listed.

New Battleship: Icosahedron (Goes between the Cube and Diamond)
Base Weapons:
- Energy Beam (1)
- Graviton Torpedo (1)

Module Slots: 5

Usable Standard Modules:
- Beam Module (3)
- Regen Module (2)
- Holding Beam Module (2)
- Tactical Armor (1; Install makes it a tactical version, increases supply cost by 50)

Usable Avatar Modules:
N/A

I think these would look awesome in FO. Anyone in favor?

Lol ... could you imagine:


  "Captain!  Borg Dodecahedron off our starboard bow!"


  ".... So?  I'm not afraid of Borg shapes beyond Parallelograms".

I want to see that now....Optec, come on....lets get a Dodecahedron!

I want to get a third support vessel: The Borg Pentagon!

the first one was my idea and i believe that optech already responded
Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations - New Borg Low-Tech Vessel
Although it need a new name lets call it a Dode

And what happens when the Dodecahedron rolls a natural 1?

to the people mentioning parallelograms and pentagons, these are 2D shapes, so would have no volume at least they could share the fun with those 2D life forms in TNG lol. regular 3D shapes usually end in -hedron. (other 3D shapes can end in other ways)

dodeca/icosahedra (-hedron becomes -hedra when pluralised) would look stupid, too many corners, like a dungeons and dragons die.

also a parallelogram becomes parallelopiped when extended into 3D. anyone who has done linear method/algebra maths at undergrad level will remember the triple product a.bxc for the volume

I think we should add a Borg Enneakaidecagon

Lol ... could you imagine:

What about an Enneakaidecagon?


   ".... So?  I'm not afraid of Borg shapes beyond Parallelograms".

"Sensors detecting a Borg Enneakaidecagon on course Zero mark 2.4.1! Sacagewea and Bozman, fall back to position 1."

"Sir! We have a visual" On screen! .... What are the Borg smoking?"


"Picard to the fleet. Target your weopons onto the following coordinates." 

"I cant get a lock. All 19 sides are confusing the sensors!"

there used to be a list of borg jokes on a couple sites I frequented, and one of them was bumperstickers found on the cube: our other ship is a dodecahedron"

"Tactical, lock weapons on the Borg Parallelogram" "I can't Captain, it's only two dimensional" "Damn, they've adapted!"

Oh my... in my first post my first ship doesn't have the proper amount of options. I've fixed that now...

You should know that 3-Dimensional Beings cannot have a 2 dimensional ship. Though if you are thinking of a prisim, that would fall under the "Probe/Interceptor" Category.

Yay, my Dodecahedron idea has been incorporated!  Well, not exactly to specs, but what the heck... its in there!

Now I wonder about the new battleship, could that be a 3.13 or 3.14 thing?

Heh, the Dodecaghedron was a previous FO design

You know what.. I actually quite like these little Dodo's. They're pretty quick, quite cheap and mighty versatile! I suppose the only role they don't fulfil for a small ship is the role of "Pure Destroyer", which is covered by the Scube but only because the Scube has better Defence... In fact, thinking about it, even that it almost a moot point since the Dodo has a second upgrade slot compare to the Scubes one.The only real advantage that the Scube has, seems to be it's dirt cheap price tag! A worthy enough reason; I shall use both
