The Borg Cube

Well I think thats a great idea that you would fuse 8 fusion cube together, but the fusion cubes would have to be smaller for that to work unless they would never get in the right position and would really take forever to fuse them

Yeah I know what your sayin, tahts what I ment, it would just take forever to fuse 8 cubes 8 times, then fusing those into larger cubers.

Yeah exactly my point. You wait around for a while to get really good ships, or if you get rushed you can just send a load of weaker (perhaps only level 1 fusion) cubes etc.... Seems like a kinda reasonable strategy to me.

I think it may be possible to put together 16 regular cubes once or twice then 8 scout cubes 8x, and probably get the same strength.

why don't you make this gigantic fusion fusion cube into like a mobile base that can build basic ships like interceptors, how about find a way for your ships to dock with it. These cubes would have to have like over 4 million crew on one cube to be cannon. Like on one voyager episode didn't it say that cubes had like 4 million drones, I may be wrong but it seems like cubes should have more then a thousand crew

Good luck getting enough drones to crew one

Yea I know It'd be a challenge , starts building, incubation stations

I don't know, was that ever in the show, cause I don't thik I ever saw that on TV.

You know what I don't get is when you assimilate a ship why do you loose so many drones, cause the drone actually assimilate the crew and not kill them, so it would be cool if you would have to transport only a few drones on the ship and they would then assimilate it slowly, you know assimilating 1 crew at the time. But that would probably make the borg too strong, I think its a good idea though

mh, i don't know if it will be good to have a cube construct other vessels or such a strong assimilation weapon, but i will consider it while i redo the borg

Maybe have that as a special ability of the assimilator, that cost a few credits and tone it down, took the Borg awhile to get the E-E in First Contact.

Well Ididn't say that that would assimilate a ship emidiatly, but it would start off slowly and then more and more crewmen would be assimilated into the collective, and so the borg would have more and more drones on that ship, so the assimilation would procede more and more quickly

my mobile base idea came form star trek invasion where the cube launced figters for you to destroy

dont know if im understandin it right.. but i like the idea pretty much,... so the crew pool would increase for their benefits and the lil assimilator ships gettin more importance..

but btt: what about the fusion idea, but in another design... like.. researchin the technology needed to fuse them, doin it the first time, and after that researchin the tech or buildin a station to build them, instead of fusion.. ?

"we are borg.... resistance is futile.."

Your right you didn't understand me, if you watched movie ST: First contact, you should get the idea, be4 the enterprise destroyed that sphere it transported some drones aboard the enterprise and those drones, quietly at first, assimilated the crew, and when they got enough drons they mounted an attack. So u see I think this could be done in fleetops. When ships shields would be down a borg vessle would, without detecting, transport some "assimilation" drones on that ship, and those drones would, at first slowly and then ever faster, assimilate that ship. Because that is a powerfull assimilation weapon, other races should have counter mesaures, let's say if you go to the shipyard those drones get killed.

They can transport thru shields too, keep in mind the first Borg incursion, unless the Borg shot E-D first, I forget.

thats a helladamn good idea
