The Borg

posted on June 7th, 2004, 2:22 am

Ok I think on this mod and in any Star Trek game with a Cube in it that no single ship of any race can single handedly stand up to the cube (except and 8472 Battleship perhaps ) But I think that the borg cube should be much more expansive, a little larger, and considerable more powerful. There should be a major stir in a sector once a borg cube has entered it. I think the average cube should be a little less than halfway between a normal cube and a fusion cube. In the show I have seen the cube blow ships away left and right but that just doesnt seem to be happening here. I dont even play the borg but I to think that I should need to assemble a large fleet to deal with a Cube.

Indeed, im greatly looking forward to seeing the changes to the Borg in version 3.0, but i agree that the cube should be a more intimidating foe lets hope 3.0 delivers just that.

Totally, I'd like to see a cube use a cutting beam and take a section of the hull out, and assimilate a weapons or something.

Indeed that would be a very nice feature to have, and the ability to assimilate the special weapons of other ships would certainly help in making the cube a more powerful adversary.

The cube won't be that much stronger in fleetops 3.0 I think, the borg will get a complete redo in fleetops 4.0. Thats how I understood them.

humm say if that happend do you think armada 2 would let you lower the crew level (eg the ship holds 400 *chunk gone*ship holds 350?) and if you try to transport over there 350 is the new max untill its repaired?

That would be neat Eufnoc but not sure if we want that big a chunk Just a chunk holding the torpedo tubes or some phaser emitters would be fine with me.

no life support that way you can take the ship easer but then again borg need life support on flops?

Why do the Borg need life support? On that tar Trek Movie (OMG I cant remember the name of it ) the Borg were making a communication beacon or something on the Enterprise-E's reflector dish after they went into into the past. They were standing out in space with no pressure suits or helmets or anything. If they can survive out there without dying why cant they easily take a ship that has failed life support without dying?

well... maybe they got no organs... or they edited their shieldings that way... u know they cant get hit by phasershots... maybe same technology.. dunno.. but i still think it was a shieldtech... cause they got life support on their cubes, if u look closely, (i think) in every episode they don needed suits to beam onboard a cube as well.

but if you remember the first meeting with the borg they had children being brought up that was not yet fully borg they had just had a few implants thats what i think they needed it for.
