There should be a nebula for each of the five ship systems(though for engine affecting nebula just half the ships speed). Bring back the crew killer!

The problem with that is that's already unbalanced, because some races favor certain systems.  A nebula that disabled life support wouldn't hurt the Borg very much, and we already have ones removing/adding to shields, which also are unbalanced for the Borg.

What about nebulas that increase ship fire rates?

My two cents: Nebulas should not boost stats, at all, remove the metaphasic nebula entirely.

Give Nebulas various system effects, if possible have them be race based (so as to balance borg better).

Have the effects mostly be a % reduction in system, primarily sensor range and movement speed, with differnt nebulas having differnt effects on systems.

Prehaps balance shields by giving all ships a slight weapons BOOST in nebulas, nebula weakens shields and for the borg they limit sensors and thus make adaptation and mitigation of the incoming shots harder.

That and/or, just lower borg repair rates inside.
