Borg Supply

I may not play Borg very often however when i do at some point in the game i always manage to run out  of supply. It can be very frustrating to have to sit and wait on your incubations centers to create more supply. However seeing as how Borg supply seems to be "crew" i was thinking that maybe the auto-assimilators and the holding beams could generate a small amount of supply when used.

Build incubation more incubation centers.  If you play Optimize, make sure you're upgrading them.  Realistically, you shouldn't need more than 3 or 4 if you're playing Assimilation.  If you're running out with that many, you're losing too many ships and should look at micromanaging your battles a bit more.

Yes i know but i was thinking it would make it more realistic.

going on the structure on structure discussion, it would be cool if we had a expandable incubation center.  Instead of building more stations, you just add more sections on.

I concur.  As it is, I think the generation of supply is a TAD on the slow side for the resources it costs per Incubation center....and its also a pain because, early game, you pretty much have to have a dedicated builder for Incubation.  Having an upgradable facility would be much more easier to manage imo.  But maybe the Devs think its balanced?  Who's to say.  If they change it, cool.  If not, I'll manage.

it wouldn't be a hard thing to do.  Maybe you build a small station,and the more ships you build the more it expands, or not and you could just pay to upgrade it adding small modules, or small stations onto it.

I definitely like this idea Adm.  Anyone else agree?  Maybe we can get the Devs to look into it?

I like the Idea  of upgrade idea of  expanding the Inccubation complex .The upgrades being simmular to the  upgrade like the Klingon yard  by adding on extensions to the Incubation complex. Limit it to  say only 2 total slots for the station. Upgrade cost would be 2/3 less than building another incubation  complex.

well right now the problem is you can build ships instantly so if you have allot of resources then you can just spam ships to hell but you run out of supply so you build more. now if ships did not build instantly you would wait till your first ship is done before you built another and you would get the extra supply in the mean time.

You've seen what's coming in the next patch right?
