borg space is like Zerg space, the space slowly turns green and stuff and it populates with stuff... collective connections are changing and i cant remember the rest of the shizzle i over heard

The idea of borg space is interesting, and does seem to be similar to creep in the Starcraft games. Would there be any sort of bonus for borg vessels in borg space? Also, would borg stations be able to be built outside of borg space? (potentially removing the dode turret rush as a viable strategy )

I think not being able to build outside Borg Space would render Dode turrets utterly useless. If the space does affect building I'm sure it would just be a slight boost to construction time or something like that.
I don't think Dode turret rush being viable is a problem.

I hate dode turrets, I feel early game and sometimes even late game they are overpowered. But anyway.

I like the idea of Borg space and one could even expand it by assimilating enemy stations. It would even look good and make it easier to find out where the Borg has expanded by having green clouds appear on the mini map like shroud.

It would give the Borg a more unique feel and more closer to the feel you get in the series.

lol i totally disagree with this.. in this case ALL races should have some sort of a "signature" reading for borg sensors since they are suppose to be "over-powered" and advance compared to other species unless it comes to hero ships like the enterprise or the voyager.. >.>

In my opinion, since the Borg don't have shuttle animations like the other races they need something to help make their bases seem more lively and a nanite cloud around their structures would make some sense.

A lot of rumors about "Borg Space" 

Yep, the next patch will change a lot and could include a portion of the Borg faction redo

Only a "portion"? Hmm sounds like the borg are going to change a lot.

aye, the faction redos are quite large. that's why we are trying to split them up into small packages. At the moment we are working on a lot of fundamental stuff to make them possible, thats why the release date is a bit longer

Hmm... i dont know about others, but i always liked larger packages....... you might have to wait longer but you get the whole picture....... thats just me tho, anything works

lets not forget - less broken features - like at the moment super expensive incubation centers (at least in 1v1)... T~T

That seems quite silly to me.

Other races have a need for small shuttles because they engage in commerce, personal travel, etc.

The borg have no need for that at all

Plus it'd just cause yet MORE lag with borg textures.

He was talking about having nanites around the borg base instead of shuttles. I don't think nanites let you engage in commerce and personal travel, etc.
