What about having a bio race a weapon that will infect a enemy ship with eegs that hatch when the ship is distorted.

These eegs will create a new ship of one type or another.

I think this would be pretty cool.

Many Noxter larvas hatch in alien debris, asteroids or similar environments. The outer hull of the spaceship then serves like a shell or skeleton to the quite vulnerable young Noxter beeing. Some subspecies of the noxter have already been reported to infect heavily damaged vessels with larvas, feeding from the vessels interior or... whoever didn't reach the last escape pod

Noxter arent that well educated, sadly  :sweatdrop:

Most of the Noxter population still prefers hatching their children in biomatter nebulas near the older noxter organisms, so you dont have to fear about every vessel that it could carry something alien!

Is there any way to detect it? The Borg would likely destroy any infected ship, so Borg players would need to know.

Based on this info I'm really excited to see how the Noxter work when they are re-inserted. I really did enjoy them way back in 2.0, and now it seems like they may have the ability to infest and infect enemy ships... it's the Borg's worst nightmare, another race that can assimilate something to a degree...
