Return of the Fusion Cube (aka another crazy idea! w00t!)

posted on August 1st, 2010, 7:19 pm

This past week I've spent most of my time in a car with no internet, so I decided to try the missions in vanilla A2. After playing around with the Borg for a while, I started to think, what if Scout Cubes could come together to form a fusion cube!?  Perhaps you'd need 13, 14, 15... I dunno, but wouldn't that be cool?

Regen Scubes could form a Voyager Cube.

Beam Scubes could form a Tactical Holding Cube

Em Scubes could form a Hybrid Mage Cube

Intercept Scubes could form a True Tac Cube

A way to balance this would be to make it be extremely vulnerable during construction, have it cost the amount of a cube chasis, and perhaps have it take 3-5 minutes to construct!?

Anyway its just a crazy idea so feel free to discuss

Im not a fan but a while ago we talked about using 6 pyramids as a fusion cube.

I would not be opposed to Cube fusion returning.

Scubes getting several modules that allow different types of fusion with others of the same module might require less odf's than having all varients fusable. I'd imagin a fusion ship would have to be built with that ability.

It was fun in vanilla, and they even had scubes become a fusion cube in beta 2.  But I would hate it in FO.  I have to agree with what Mort says.  Hybrid mage cubes ftw and looking forward to the command cube.

Gotta say, cube fusion was quite fun in A2.

Erm, wouldn't that be a fusion Pyramid?

Perhaps an alternative would be the ability to fusion several borg ships into some sort of station with lots of firepower and some special abilities, perhaps even some ship construction.... like the command cube.

It would be a fusion cube, a cube has 6 faces

i think he was saying: because you use pyramids to do the fusion, it is a fusion pyramid

but that logic is incorrect, the final product is a cube, so the final product is a fusion cube.

the process in vanilla a2 was called cube fusion, it used cubes to make a bigger cube. if we had pyramids forming a cube it would be pyramid fusion, making a fusion cube.

i dont want fusion of any type. i dont like the idea.

The map will be assimilated.  It will be adapted to service us.  Resistance is futile.
