Nice ideas, but please, no Borg Queen... 

I do not mind a Borg hero unit, but a Borg Queen... just no... Not even a Borg leader
Cos I (and I know lot's of others agree) that the Borg were much tougher and scarier, BEFORE the Queen was introduced. Many being part of one. No leader, just the collective...

That's why, long ago, in a hero unit thread, I suggested an ancient Sphere that had over time regenerated its hull using bits of neutronium, and now had an absurdly strong hull.

That's the kind of 'hero unit' the Borg should have.  An incidentally superior vessel, not an individual.

Actually a good idea. The queen died anyways, didn't she? ^^

And as stated: this is an early stage of my idea, so things change a lot anyways. But i'm glad to hear people seem to like it.

Do you guys think this could work for multiplayer games?
Are "escape shuttle / pods" technically possible?

Yes, she died... twice. Like a comic book villain.

she's >3 dimensional though, so normal rules dont apply

ignoring that silly dimensional thingy from fc, it appeared that blowing her up didnt matter, they (most likely) blew her up in bobw, she appeared in fc, they blew her up in fc, she appeared in voyager, they blew her up in voyager too.

i'd think that all cubes carry a body which can have the queen's mind downloaded into it when needed. presumably the queen's mind is backed up in the unicomplex/hive mind, as the fc borg werent connected to the hive when the fc queen was killed.
