I still find it odd playing the borg and starting off worrying about mining. At the very least I would set up those orbital things to suck the materials that way - seems more Borg like.
On a more tangential note, I can imagine early borg vessels to be almost like the young aliens, vulnerable, but able to pounce. What if there were small borg ships that could, if not destroyed, attach to a small enemy ship and assimilate it quickly. That would be more borgish than mining!
Or, maybe, start the game with one Borg cube. It can eat what it kills.
Just thoughts.
