  Borg with shields ? This will only make them weaker. Taking the shields away from borg was a brilliant move, it perfectly fits their gameplay. They can transport drones on any other vessel without the danger of being blown to pieces.

which onyl adds to the uphill battle for all other races

you cant take over a borg ship, no way, you have to lower your sheilds, and theres to many drones on any of there vesals
likewise, borg have the best advatage for nebulas, alot more crew to lose, and no sheilds means they cant looses sheilds

Came up with another romulan veteran ability (maybe for the leahval or something):
* Metaphasic Systems (passive)
    Floods the ship with metaphasic radiation, making cloaking cost no special energy and take 1/4 of a second
    all weapons will also be charged with metaphasic radiation, tripling their damage variation.
Here's an idea for the serkas:
* Warp Plasma Weapons (passive)
    charges the torpedoes fired by the Serkas with warp plasma
    doubles damage output, but due to the lack of warp plasma for propulsion, the ship moves 25 percent slower
if you dont like that one:
* Pretargeting (passive)
    automatically targets the area ahead of the ship being targeted so that the torpedo hits the ship instead of the area behind it

What if the assimilate a veteran i am assuming that it will keep it veteran level attributes, am i correct?

You are correct
-special weapons though.

I don't think Borg ships should get Veteran status. It would not be within their nature. Maybe something else that seems more like a feature of the collective rather than individual ship and crew that gets experience through combat.

Naturally they would keep the status. The status seems like crews earning upgrades to their ships, why would the Borg remove those upgrades?

Just amazing FO team, you're doing a great job!

  Will the next patch resolve the issue with the fog of war not being visible if using other setting than maxim details ? Thanks.

played yesterday a Roung 3.06 with the fed against hard Kilng,Rom and DOm.

I got so brutally beaten up  How could they produce so much ships in such a short time?!?

And is it a bug or why do neither the Klingons or the Romulans use their cloak anymore?
There is also a Problem with Starfleetcommand the tool tip shown no more how many Slots are in use or needed.

Klingons and Romulans do use their cloak, they just dont over do it anymore, like they used to

And if you got molested by the hard AI, I suggest you try going against easy or medium


Oh and if you were playing against 3 hard AIs, which were on the same team, I really dont know how you can beat that lol (well unless your playing on Nirvana map or something similar and even there it would be quite an achievement)

Hehe, I gotta say I love when the Klingon AI uses cloaked K'vorts with Shield Breaking Torps against my ships 

The AI doesn't use resources and does all sorts of quirky things with building, so you will always be outnumbered
