haha. adaptation through experience would make more sense. but since they already discussed experience and borg would not go - guess we can have it done this way

or it could just be done for the games sake?

It's just getting the AI to use these ideas if the FleetOps team can get them to work for us.

Adaption for an individual ship through experience doesn't make any sense but if every borg ship adapted through experience that would. So you kill 1 fed ship you gain a very small bonus. Actually thinking about it I have two ideas:

1) All of your ships become stronger as one any time you destroy any ship but obviously at a much slower rate to the other races ships and perhaps killing fed ships would only make you stronger against them etc.

2) Destroying/assimilating ships gives you points to spend on adaptation upgrades of your choice so after destroying 20 ships you can upgrade all your ships with 5% additional defence or upgrade your shield breaking torpedoes to last an extra second etc...


I think adaptation needs some tweaking to make it more interesting, I'm just not sure what.

Ahh hadn't noticed that great minds think alike then... or fools never differ
