I've never noticed that there mustn't be obstacles in the Interceptor's way if you want to use its transwarp-drive. Suppose I should simply play the borg more often.

Never underestimate the ideas of the FO-Modders... :rolleyes:

As some of you have pointed out.. the transwarp hub is used to travel LONG distances... perhaps you should increase the energy cost to transwarp.. and lower its range... so that in a large 8 player map... a borg cube can only transwarp half way across the map, then have the transwarp hubs portal with the range to go anywhere on the map. A while ago.. i tried to balance A2 by myself, i created two transwarps.. one that ships from the smaller yard could use.. and would take them about quater of the way way across the map on the larger maps, and one for the ships out of the larger shipyard to use that would take them about half way across (i had an acception for the harmonic defender... i didnt seem big enough to get the better transwarp). Then i had the transwarp gate able to go anywhere on the map... i think it balanced it out... although the AI didnt use it.... Your welcome to nick this idea if you like it.

Thumbs up! Imo that's a pretty good idea! So transwarp would be included but balanced. Still one could discuss that it doesn't really make sense to use transwarp within one system as it is usually meant to travel very long distances in short time.

although that seems like a nice idea, i have to say it would make a lot more sense and be much more playable to leave it the way it is. that being transwarp for the Interceptor and the hub for everything else.
transwarping inside a system doesnt make sense. if you give the borg transwarp to their entire armada then to balance it out the other races would have to be give warp, which is a no no round here.

So - again - why don't we decide to take the hub and transwarp out just because it does not make sense inside one system. Give the Interceptor something similar (What about some kind of message-link-thing as special ability to call in a Sphere which uses transwarp to get to the position of the Interceptor. Costs 100 % special-energy and takes some seconds until the Sphere arrives at its destination.) and replace the hub. Perhaps there's something even more borgy... At last: FO without transwarp would just be consequent in my opinion.

it would make things more realistic.. and I for one don't enjoy the borg using a transwarp gate to jump half a system so they can jump in the middle of my base and rip it apart...

the hub is probably the most fun part of being borg. i take it you just dont like them full stop, in that case why dont you just pertition for them to be taken out as well :hmmm:

Its just that i don't think it makes sense to have a hub when theres only 5 in the universe, and when your just playing in one system..
