Idea: Reduce the base CC cost of cubes to 110 (and maybe tweak the stats down a hair), and then give the Tactical Armor modules a 10 CC cost.

This would give two tiers of cubes (tac and non-tac) based on cost and you would see more non-tac cubes on the board.

Hmm, this could make sense, would give the borg a transition between early-mid mid game, and total complete victory/totally completely dead (hey lets start a resource pool so i can make a cube)

this is a super great idea yandon!  this should be done with all borg ships! every module costs a certain number of CC's + a small base cost to the chosen chassis.

so you might end up costs on a scube being:
1) scube with regen: 5 CC + scube chassis cost (2 CC) = 7 CC
2) scube with interception module: 8 CC + scube chassis cost (2 CC)= 10 CC
3) Beam Module: 6 CC + scube chassis cost (2 CC)= 8 CC
4) EM Module:3 CC + scube chassis cost (2 CC)= 5 CC

Something like i stated above

really awesome idea yandon

I agree with a CC cost for Tactical Armor modules.

Somehow, this made me think this...

I want to see a Tactical Sphere.

Amen.

We need more norm-cube epicness!

Yep!  I really like the concept of different Module combination filling the soft "CC Cap" a bit differently.  Right now the forms that have the best survivability seem to be the most frequently used as they preserve their investment better.


    With Assimilators and Spheres even this could be a great boon as well-  Stronger versions more difficult to counter all around (x3 Regen Spheres) could cost more CC than a Sphere outfitted with less commonly used modules to encourage a build more specific to the game circumstances that's not effectively a waste .


Coolio!

My experience may vary from yours... but i find anything but 3x regen to be a waste unless your have order to chaos handy. they just die too fast without active regen, since they do so little damage that you can ignore the other 2-3 and focus on one.

Have you looked at the top offensive value a sphere can have?  If that's doing 'so little damage you can ignore it' something is seriously borked.

Borg ships dont have a yard to repair and are slow, so they need in-field repair. If you build a sphere with focus on offense, you can count on it, that it will be the first to fall without making a kill.

A sphere costs 2,5k dil + 800 tri and 50 CC and is very weak when being build, cant rpair in a station and you cant retreat against faster units.

Have a try when bulding those. I tried to build spheres with two prime and two regen-modules, in order to have the regen-ability and a little more offense. Trust me, 3 regens are better.

Also, I didnt notice any sigificant or even existing reduction of special energy from enemy ships. The fired their specials on and on...

So borg ships must regenerate "fast" or they will be useless. Build a ship with 1k offense and 1 defense. You make one shot, one kill and then your ship is down too. Not good.

a top offensive sphere or cube is less firepower than you could have already built via a conventional fleet.

The highest Sphere I know of is 79, while the Cubes are over 200. You can't make fleets of Borg ships with as much firepower as the stronger Cubes without imparing their ability to fight, their ships tend to take up room.

I mentioned it in response to the comment about them doing so little damage that their attacks could be ignored.

Other than the detector, and maybe the probe and scube, there should be no such thing as a borg ship who's attacks are ignorable.
