i read "you can;t win with a tyk're" or4 somethng like that when i got this game, so i set out to make a shuttle that could

now i am aq thinlk,n - hold it , kirk and the like are noted for not folloiwing reules, every trek person k nows this,
so why on earth would fleet admirals and others have a cow?
malkes no sense- oh yeah, it does, its like a gaggle of hyocrite follower complainers or somethng
oh yeah , immersion and whatever ewlese the title says, how about a two weapon in front one in the rear heldeki type craft, not a shuttle or other dxhoice, mix it up in a viable way
if your in pvp and its like 14 to zero - then such ships get it over with faster
if your on the3 winning side- makes it more a match
If you lose to a borg, ground or space, you are assimilated, and your faction converts from Human/KDF to borg. You then begin to get missions from the borg hivemind, until someone friendly defeats you and 'un-assimilates' you, placing you back into your original faction. ?
with some ol colloquillism aqnd misplelling to boot
yes, that is what i am saying
you get assimilatged and serve the wqueen or somethng
but more to the point - more mystery - iu thnk old games had alot of that -
now its trade shoot - which may be an old complaint - but adding "content" without substance is poin tless-
course i am playi8ng this game for like 2 years and made it to "the romulan mystery" or somethng- so content was never an issue
like save it for the last or somethng or forget it if it is unpalatable
(turn to borg? yes no )
at any rate you could change back if ypu attack and lose to a science
ship is what i am thinking
which i assume would be ez to do, (or maybe not, don;t see to many science ships - especially in pvp)
on another thread i mentioned that race in voyager that ripped people's faces off and like wore them
another idea- have them , and have it so you collect like body parts and your character is some frankenstien horror thing with a fed admniral face (lol)
same with ships, like a feragi hull, with a klingon front and fed engines or somthng
I like these ideas, and i dont think it would take too much programming to do, However, if you melee with a borg on an STF, and it infects you, you start to attack your teammates, unless you click the nanoprobe thing to get rid of it. they have to kill you lol, and your screen gets this long stretched out look to it, its kinda cool.
but adding some form or another of accolade branch, while being infected would be pretty sweet, Jean Luc Picard was Lacutus of Borg for awhile, so I dont see why we could not have some similar option, maybe its something the Devs can work on for a future content release.
HA HA! This is pretty funny, but it has some potential. Perhaps not as an all the time, get assimilated, you're stuck until someone frees you kind of thing. But it could be done as a featured episode, where the overall arc starts you as your captain, you get assimilated, do borg stuff for a bit, and then get freed from the collective by your crew. Could be cool.
Though I'm not sure what you'd do as a borg. . . ? Walk slowly, interact with console, repeat "Resistance is futile" over and over. . .

Well, we are, supposedly, big name Captains. So we'd likely get turned into a named Borg Drone like Locutus or Armek. And consequently, have higher profile tasks.

Come now, we know there have been special Borg that have done more interesting things than that. Picard led the attack on the federation after being assimilated, Seven of nine was sent to voyager on a special mission. Then there was that Borg rebellion with uni-matrix zero and stuff.
Perhaps an assimilated player would take command of a Borg cube or something and lead an attack on some world with an alien species vainly trying to resist. Or more specifically be part of the away teams that board ships and assimilate the crew. Imagine an all Borg away team, they go around injecting nano probes into crew and computer systems completing objectives to take over the ship.

Right; walk slowly, order other drones to interact with consoles, and repeat "resistance is futile".

If the Borg assimilate you , you are DEAD
theres no coming back
Really?
What about Picard, 7 of 9, and all the other Borg that have been saved from assimilation? It's clearly canon that such a thing is possible, and considering how far we are into the future it should be even more common.
In fact there's PvE missions that are part of the Borg Front that involve such a thing.
So yeah you're quite simply wrong, there is plenty of ways to come back from being a Borg.
However that doesn't change the fact that I think being turned into a Borg would be rather dull and not worth the time it would take to put it into the game.

Like, Dude!!!! Cool idea, dude. Maybe you should like stay in school. Maybe like take some typing classes, or like learn to use a spell checker. Like, just saying, man.... Or maybe, like you just don't like "folloiwing reules". I like, get that, dude.

Right, but in the meanwhile, while you are still assimilated, you are none of those.
You are a complete slave to whatever queen you are assigned too, a scripted NPC until you get rescued. *IF* you get rescued.
Gee that sounds like fun....
It *might* work if you switch to playing your first officer and have to rescue yourself... but other than that not sure how it would.
I was replying to numbnuts saying you die if you get assimilated... I too think playing a still assimilated borg would be boring... and in fact you can do it already in game.. I've been "assimilated" in elite STFs... screen goes weird and the game takes over control and make you shoot at your team mates until they kill you
its soft canon
they were introduced in novel form (AFTER janeways "death" in the badlands before her Return )
ONLY "the events that take place within the live-action episodes and movies" are canon as per official statement by the IP owner... so no it's not even soft canon since the novels are not canon
Borg are living dead
utterly unliving utterly dull
to be a borg is to be Less than a cog in a machine
"liberated borg" were clearly saved BEFORE the brain was removed or wiped and retain some limited mental freedom
ACTUAL borg are zombies
less than mindless
so you are trying to tell us we should follow your made-up arbitrary rule about Borg when playing and when the developers are designing new content they should also follow said imaginary rule or what? just so we are clear

Are you saying -

-turn to borg - yes , no
yes- you are now gar nagus 5
your number 1 on a sphere or somethng and grey with a red lazer in your face and a claw
in stf's your on ther borg team
it would really amp things up
or no-
"your science guy dsaved you and you can cry home to mama", or somethng
I personally am not interested in a Borg faction. They make decent enemies, but I honestly think it'd be boring to play as one.
but adding some form or another of accolade branch, while being infected would be pretty sweet, Jean Luc Picard was Lacutus of Borg for awhile, so I dont see why we could not have some similar option, maybe its something the Devs can work on for a future content release.
Arghhh my eyes are bleeding from trying to read it... too many.....wrong......bad.....english......misspells......cant go....on
ROFL

then BAM
6 ner' do wells in spheres blowing them to pieces
(lol)
You're a clever Taco. I bet you could make it work.
and like spheres are attack /heal ships
one thing i did in pvp in my shuttle of horror was to type fake stuff in zone
even typed "moderator- don;t shoot" (lol) and it wrked for awhile until i unloaded like ferengi missles into an enemy ship
same idea
but someone mentioned a olayer mod, which is another avenue, but that is locked in the episodic still, i am am thinkking pvp pve instances, etc
that way no faction stuff is needed
other then you get like a fleet base to look at everyone that is the same (lol)
Right; walk slowly, order other drones to interact with consoles, and repeat "resistance is futile".
theres no coming back
This is why we have counter assimilation nanites injected into our Brains
Borg nanite + counter assimilation nanite meet and you go off like a photon torpedo
Really?

you can already PLAY AS a liberated borg... not to mention the ones you can get as boffs, doffs and those that are NPCs are all over the place...
I Can't
its living dead
So any time one of me got assimilated that would be his last mission (De-assimilation by Delete button)
There is no life after assimilation
Thus the (admittedly soft canon) Counter assimilation nanite
Should come as standard
because better to die a living being than to exist as seven of dead
that's not soft-canon... that's NON-canon as it actually contradicts established canon
Right, but in the meanwhile, while you are still assimilated, you are none of those.

because playing a DRONE is pointless if you are not a Drone
You want to be a mindless drone go for it
your orders from the collective ??
Stand in an alcove for three weeks
Walk to another alcove
Stand there for three weeks
Walk back
you see just because you are a "hot shot" in starfleet doesn't mean you will be anything other than the lowest drone
Piccard was TRIBBLE for data he as commander of a fleet flag vessel had
it killed him inside
I'm the commander of a fleet flag vessel too... in fact I have 4 of them... and Picard was only a Captain I'm a Vice Admiral... so me > Picard
sorry the only aliens who want you are the little back of the neck bugs
