Recycle center

Well idea is nice and simple, adding a tractor beam to the recycle center if researched unicomplex. Well structure sure has the size for holding it. Incubation ceners are too small.

Sounds reasonable to me

And in addition to that it could suck ships in and recycle them  Or assimilate them... or whatever... 
Just kidding 

As Dominus said a reasonable suggestion

would be nice to get a low level tractor or auto assim for incub centers as Assim avatar...beside massing Auto assims there seems to be no cool strategy for the Assim avatar now. Or give the Assimilation Dodec an auto assim too especially nice as a turret.

As far as I know the Incub Centers already assimilate nearby vessels?

you are correct, watch for a little green swirl near enemy ships when they are near incubation centres, that is them being assimilated slowly.

also about the recycling centre, it doesnt really recycle much now, i have a suggestion over here on this page about it:

Assim rate of Incub centers is really really slow...just enough to assim very small ships. A research could be nice to increase it

Agreed Drrrrrr.  I would like to see the Incub centers become a real deterrent to small ship raiding.

small ship raiding is pointless vs borg anyway, their miners are just too strong. even the slowest borg ship can get back to defend before a rhienn will eat a borg miner.

anyway you would have to build incubators in stupid places where later game fleets would just munch them for lunch.

I'm imagining right now what a fleet of small destroyers could probably do against a Borg base with Incubs as they are.
Nothing?

I guess faster assimilation rates would be pretty unbalanced as every assimilated ship would be Borg and most important it would still be fully functional. Everyone would have to wait for battleships and if you don't get crushed by the Borg themselves by then you'll get shot down by fleets of assimilated destroyers - or you simply start to turtle 

I don't know about this....

edit:
Anyway, wasn't this thread about the Recycling Centre?

ships which are assimilated lose shields i believe.

Permanently? I think I had assimilated ships with shields. It takes time to regenerate but if you get them delivered to your base for free...?

I should qualify my use of the word small....Defiants are "small" in crew terms.  It would add a different dynamic to playing against an assim Borg.  Just a thought.  As I have tried to play around with the Borg avatars, I have noticed that assim is relatively weaker the more factions you are against.

It actually does add quite a few resources. Enough to pay for itself in 2 minutes.
