Borg Resource Assimilation Enhancement

posted on November 19th, 2010, 1:57 am

I've modified a few ODF files so that the Borg can process and assimilate resources a tad bit faster than they do.  It's more for a personal mod, but I'd like something similar for the Borg redo.  For the developers, I've attatched the ODF files that I've modified.

Ok dude, why do you think the Devs would want to make the Borg Resource Assim collect resources faster? They're just fine the way they are now

i think he wants a cost reduction of 25% for all borg stuff. he mentioned that in another thread. rather than go edit all the costs he just upped how fast they collect lol.

That's exactly what I did.  Although, the resource cost reductions have been called overpowered.  I don't really believe it's overpowered.  The Borg can't expand quickly.  Reducing the costs or increasing the mining rate will allow them the expand more quickly, and to be a bit more of a threat.

lol it is overpowered. its basically like giving the borg an extra ship for free in the early game. imagine a scube/probe rush with that, you wouldnt stand a chance of mining any resources.

TCR if you think the Borg are underpowered I will prove to you otherwise

The Federation already doesn't stand a chance against the Borg since in almost every 1v1 game, the bases are right on top of each other!!  How about an rFactor race instead?  It's a lot more peaceful.

TCR, this is the same thing as reducing the costs.  Either way, the Borg can spend their resources faster, making them overpowered.

So you make the Borg get resources even faster?  (Not that I agree with you.)

Allright so we can have two matches. One with me Borg, and one with me Fed against Borg lol...

Yeah we need more replays for those who have these "Its impossible to beat" attitudes

LOL

feds make it really easy to beat borg, just build ships, they nearly all have torps. intrep spam would probably work against u as i doubt you would even consider making the dodeca.

feds pwn borg with the torp spam. torp turrets even become useful due to limited borg ships and most damage doesnt get split among faster smaller ships. i once saw a field of quantum turrets munch a cube in 2 volleys lol.
