What he Eltie Borg Missions need...

Are these ships at least so they can have different firing techniques and different ways of attacking. I am still wondering why STO is considering in the future of Star Trek how come none of the Borg's new ships and new techniques are in the game? The Borg have assimilated 3000+ more species since Voyager, Obviously their technology has advanced. This ships should be the probes used for Borg Elite missions and the regular probes used for Normal.

Also again, the Cubes and Tactical Cubes should be able to use the Borg Shield drain pulse used in Borg Sector Invasions. Here is the ship -- http://stexpanded.wikia.com/wiki/Borg_tactical_sphere

Lastly, have the Borg recognize the resistance given in normal missions by changing their dialogue to say their species number(for the ships used), and add some random reinforcement calls.

    It's time to leave the borg behind. The Undine and the Iconians are the far bigger threat. There's something fishy going on in the Dyson Sphere and in the delta quadrant. And it has nothing to do with the Borg. We really need to focus our attention on the bigger threat. Before the Iconians catch us offguard.

    Again: What the Borg STFs really need is new PvE content, that makes this old STFs finally obsolete.

    If there's any race that needs a reboot, it's the Borg. Bugs, one-hit cheap shots, and overly familiar, repetative tactics that are easily countered, the Borg are about as boring as watching snow melt.

    Maybe when Cryptic releases the Borg lockboxes is when they'll get a much needed revamp. ;)

    why would anyone want more borg, they're the epitome of countless cliches, one of which is the old unstoppable villain, which repeatedly gets "stopped" by whatever writers will come up with next, plus they look and are boring.

    if anything, i'd like to see the borg get totally wrecked in the actual story, not just gameplay, but i guess cryptic can't do that without pissing off CBS.

    Voyagers bad writing forever ruined the borg as a serious threat.

    Would make an interesting twist if Borg could gimmick the abilities and tactics from other hostile factions in the game under the pretence of them having assimilated said species and absorbed their tactical knowledge.

    So in one ISE run the Borg fight like Voth, and in the next one like the Dominion - abilities and all.

    To be fair seeing all hostile NPC's change up their tactics every now and then would be good.

    The Borg themselves used and assimilated other ship and integrated that tech into their cube/sphere designs for millennia, why should they change that practice within those 40 years?

    Ultimaltly, on the one hand, the Borg are far to weak in this game. It are the f*** Borg, one ship usually can annihilate an entire fleet.
    And while we may have made some progression in fighting them, certainly not THAT much.

    So my approach at a Borg-revamp is still the same it was 4 years ago: Just switch the models around. Turn tactical cubes into "normal" cubes visually, turn cubes into spheres visually ect ect. (while maintaining their current strength of course)
    A cube appearing should be rare and intimidating.

    A tactical cube could be a CE-like fleet action.

    On the other hand:
    It's time to leave the borg behind. The Undine and the Iconians are the far bigger threat. There's something fishy going on in the Dyson Sphere and in the delta quadrant. And it has nothing to do with the Borg. We really need to focus our attention on the bigger threat. Before the Iconians catch us offguard.

    I have to agree with that. I've seen enough Borg anyway by now, they got boring no matter how they get changed at this point.

    I thought in the next few updates they would enhance the Borg and the Undine ???

    Can't help it, I have to ask:
    What he Eltie Borg Missions need...

    Is Eltie Borg some sort of Star Trek reference to Elton John? :D

    The Borg's main thing is assimilation.

    If cryptic changed anything of the Borg i would like it to be assimilation of player ships. On death simply drop a clone of the player ship kitted out with assimilation visuals. Then you can either have it fade when the player respawns or just have the ship permanent.

    However with no one dying to the Borg it does seem like a general revamp would be in order first.
