Prosthetics kinda useless against borg...

So I did my second rounds of Hard Deferi Invazion missions today, and on the last one I did I got my first Prosthetic drop!!!
I was very giddy at first about it, but that feeling quickly turned to disappointment when I found that its absolutely useless for fighting borg.
I mean Borg technology is kinda supposed to be the achilles heel of the Borg, and I thought part of the idea of the Ground Invasion was to get new cool rewards that would be helpful in our fight against the Borg.
But the rate of fire of the Prosthetics just ruins it.
I cannot even take out a single ordinary Borg Drone before I need to remodulate.
I think the devs needs to tweak these guns and either reduce the rate of fire and beef up the damage, or somehow tweak it so the Borg cannot adapt as quickly against them.

I was disappointed because they're called "prosthetics" but they are just guns with a borg skin, they don't attach to your character's arm like an actual borg prosthetic would.
Other than that, nice weapons for my borg BOffs.
EDIT: Logically, the borg themselves would carry weapons that worked best against THEIR enemies, i.e. us, rather than weapons that worked best against them, so I guess it makes sense.
...so when are we getting Tommy guns
They are the next grab bag item. So start saving your money now.
What she said.
We are so advanced that a 500 year old gun is a better weapon than what we can make.
Yup. Just think about it. Trek in all of its glory is light based when it comes to weaponry and defense. Phasor and Deflector shields. So ships and people aren't actually protected from "low tech" things like a bullet.
Besides. Today in the real world we are really advanced but that doesn't stop us from dying when someone pokes us with a sharp stick.
Lastly I leave you with Sir Issac Newton:

HAHAHAHA!!!!! I love it. That has to be one of the greatest quotes from any media, at all, ever!
"Sir Issac Newton is the baddest *son of a gun* [edited] in space..."
Well, for now, at least, it's the TR-116. But most players don't have it and can't get it.
Ah..the TR-116. I would love to have one.
Its got very low damage output and shields reduce the damage by 50%,
Even proper melee weapons deal better damage, and good use of energy weapons easily bring down targets faster.
This goes double if you have an STF set with the built in instant-remodulator.
First , I thank this captain for this post that gives me the excuse to rant on this particular point,
The point , so called " Standard Issue Borg Weapons "
These weapons have the " benifit " of the " Borg " proc , as it is called .
This proc or modifier is 15 kinetic damage to Borg NPC 's.
15 damage
only 15
This weapon modifier is More Danagerous To The User Than The Borg .
I Highly Doubt That This WILL EVER Change .
Any officer involved in prosecuting combat operations against the Borg is Highly Adviased to use the folowing guidlines when sellecting weapons for ground combat operations against the Borg .
The use of the Highest Mk # weapons possiblefor your current rank .
The modifiers [Dmg] in mutiples , {KB3] is sometimes usefull , [Dot 3] is not
The rareity of the weapon give increased dmg to the weapon , therfore Mk XII Rare weapons w/ [Dmg] are the most usefull .
Ther have been reports from the front of the over use of the " Over Charged Plasma Sniper Rfle " and of that rifles Failure to produce usefull effect against the Borg.
These reports have been verified as Accurate.
Use of the Assault weapon class called BLAST is Highly Recommended.
On another note, we have Borg Space Sets so where are the Borg Ground sets?
Not After Addaptation, when such a " benifit " would be of most use.
Correct. We already have 6 space sets and 3 ground sets so it is only logical to have a craftable ground set, a ground set from doing an FE and a Borg ground set that costs 5 EDC for each piece. The borg ground set should have a Borg style that fits the Borg hybrid look that are ships get. Makes too much sense for liberated borg captains to wear Borg looking armor and piloting a borg looking ship. The MACO set doesn't fit the Borg style and the Omega Force set looks too much like the Merc costume IMO. Although I don't know what to think about Tron characters in STO with the Aegis Ground Set.
Not everyone can do 100 STFs to get their ground sets and we have 3 Space Sets that don't have a corresponding Ground Set that would be perfect for casual players.
When before the " Addaptation " acured you were doing Conciderably More in the way of damage .
Case in point , a Blast Assualt Mk XI [very rare] tipicaly does 125 primary and 250 secondary w/blast AoE .
After "Adaptation" ,you do the aforementioned 1 and 15 , so very underwelming
This. I've been wanting a Borg ground set for my Liberated Borg characters ever since the Borg Space set came out
These arms are supposed to be salvaged, not installed, how many humans are going to chop off a good arm to use a Borg armature. It makes more since to make them weapons, add a handle and hold them, its likely they only would work as part of drone anyway without some modifications. Making them conventional weapon keeps there abilities, and allows you two switch and keep your arm...
not surprisingly they are bulky now, if they replaced an arm they were simpler and directly installed then, now they need an interface and to stick out more like a conventional gun.
Would like access to more Borg hardware...
Borg Prosthetics implies that we are replacing a limb with Borg technology. The problem is the name of the weapons not the weapon itself. Also, this thread needs to be destroyed with plasma.
