Plus it's nearly 100 degrees on board a Borg ship, that alone would make me stay at tactical then beam aboard

lol, yea, it sucks without sound

but @ tmp, thought it was 34°C on a borg ship... am i missing something? that would be around 80-90°F or am i wrong?

yep i think in first contact they say something like 34°C. "Almost like on a borg vessel"

Well in fahrenheit, they said on first contact that the Borg were making the Enterprise's temperature 99.1 I think, and Someone said thats the temperature on a borg ship.

Yea thats what picard said "Almost like a borg ship"
So they are getting a complete change in version 4, ok is the balancing changes still going ahead for borg on version 3? like having the ships stronger, faster to build and everything like that? I saw a topic before saying about this

of course they have been balanced for 3.0 as well
(by the way what makes you believe balancing is always linked to improvements? but the borg got some)

I dont think its always linked to improvements I said it in that way cos I saw on the topic before that people were saying that they were either too weak or too slow on building

Optec, will each ships temperature be 99.1 in 4.0?

Little hint: Track 8 on the First Contact soundtrack CD is called "39.1 DEGREES CELSIUS"... any questions?

And that would be 102.38°F.

Or maybe it's 99.1 and your wrong...any questions?

Well, it may be that Jerry Goldsmith had an early draft of the script, but I would rather go with the presumption that he knew why he names the piece of music 39.1°C.

But I will check the DVD right know.

Edit: Ok, it's on the DVD in chapter 9. which is called "39.1 Degrees Celsius", the exact dialogue is:

Picard: "Mr. Hawk! When we lost internal sensors, what were the exact environmental conditions in main engineering?"

Hawk: "Atmosphere pressure was 2 kilopascals above normal, 92% humidity, 39.1 degrees Celsius."

Picard: "39.1 degrees Celsius ... like a Borg ship."

But maybe my DVD is wrong, I'll go back in time and check the cinema, wait a moment...

Yep, 39.1°c.
