When do we get to see the Cooperative?

tragamitestragamites Member Posts: 424 Arc User
So the cooperative was all but lost in the Delta Alliance story and then we went to the Iconians and now the MU. The tease of a Cooperative Alliance was very exciting for me and when all we really got was a queue event I was sorely disappointed. My hiatus is over and I’m back again waiting for a Borg resurgence into the Galaxy. I want to have the ability to obtain equipment, BOffs, Doffs and other Borg related items for me to play with. It’s time for the Cooperative to take sides and fight for their independence from the Collective. Make it So!

    It is discouraging for me to see the Iconian ships for players. These and the Voth ships are massive in comparison to the cruisers of Starfleet. I really don’t want a Borg Cube with 100k crew, it doesn’t even need to be a proper shape as ships would be a liberated crew comprised of Starfleet or KDF personnel.

    Damn dude, You've put some work into all this. some nice idea's some are a bit OP at first glance, and for the number of things you have listed you'd need more than a lockbox to hold it all. Theoretically it could be spread over a new reputation (would need to differentiate from Omega of course), mission sets and a lockbox, were it to happen it would probably be with the launch of a new season.

    They talked about how DR was considered to have a Cooperative playable faction...but decided not to...our time in the Delta Quadrant has come and gone.

    Maybe some day we will go back to the Delta Quadrant, I hope, they will expand the Quadrant one day...but right now we seem to be exploring new space in the Alpha Quadrant...which could lead to the Cardassians.

    But at the moment it would seem we're finished with them...there still hasn't been what I would call a ending to the Borg or Voth...so maybe there are two Delta powers we could go after in the future.

    OP, I share your disappointment in the fact that the Cooperative story was not explored more. I hoped to see at least a reputation dedicated to helping them build up, find a homeworld and colonize, along with liberating more Drones. It'd be really cool & something I'd very much love to play.

    As for the faction - if they added it, I'd play the TRIBBLE out of that too - but as I keep saying, the game should focus on the factions they already have, rather than add a new one.

    Actually one thing the Cooperative drones brought to my attention that I want is more borgy bits for liberated captains/boffs. some of the options they have are downright cool.

    An interesting storyline that I hope they follow up on.

    On an unrelated note, it looks like bluegeek was officially replaced then? Don't know how I feel about this as I still harbor resentment towards that entire cluster**** of a situation.

    Numbers can be manipulated, I tried to follow the current items in game as an outline. Course I probably would make things OP cause they are what I want and have wanted basically since launch. I don't need a Borg Faction, infact I'd rather not need to build new factioned characters, I have to many as is!

    I do think there could/should be a rep group and lockbox that are dedicated to the Borg idealization. I do hope they offer new BOffs and DOffs so I can outfit my entire crew as Borg, I hope they will offer a warp core that is separate from a new shield/engine/deflector as I love the Omega set. This way I could have torp, mine, Cutting Beam, second beam weapon, 2 consoles, deflector, engine, warp core and shields assigned to my ship that are specifically Borg tech.

    A ground set also would be a favored group for me and the more costume option the better in all aspects of the game IMO.

    @tragamites - I've wanted to theme my crew with the Liberated Borg theme for ages & do so as much as possible. And we'd not even need a whole new Faction for that, as that calls for a lot of complications.

    Easier and more feasible for the game would be, to simply unlock the Borg implants as costume outfit, as a Lifetime Subscription perk, for any species/gender & our BOFFs too. And it'd make perfect sense too. Currently the Liberated Borg Human/Klingon/Romulan all share the same traits, game-wise speaking. They get no traits from their original species. So, making them alien-gen customized would be rather neat to have, as they're really just cosmetic feature anyways.

    Also agreed on having more options for the Liberated Borg, as an example - I did post about the full-Borg body suit, which exists in the game, just isn't available to the players. (The Engineering KDF/Fed/Tac Reman Lib. Borg have it).

    I used to be a supporter of a playable Cooperative faction, but with the track record of how difficult it is just for them to keep up with the KDF and Romulan Republic ships, I think it should not happen. But I can definitely agree they should get a lockbox, there is lots of potential there like what you listed!

    If it were a "faction" it would be a sub-faction on even a lesser extent than the Romulans. No I'm suggesting a Reputation and Lockbox grouping, hopefully with some episodes thrown in. They really do need to expand on the Cooperations role in the Delta Quadrant.

    The Collective will only work as a full Faction.
    I think being a pseudo-Faction hurt the Rommies because you just end up being Fed or KDF.
    You're distinct in that you have exclusive ships but only half a story and no exclusive endgame.

    Regardless, D'Stahl indicated it was discussed but only the Devs know just how far the idea went.
    But, the infrastructure is there.

    Nice ideas OP. I too would of loved to see the Cooperative expanded on. Who knows maybe some day we'll go back to the Delta Quadrant and they will be a starting option.

    Didn't the Cooperative reclaim their non-Borg names?

    I think that some in the Cooperative did reclaim their names, or in other cases selected non-Borg names for themselves.

    What I wonder about though, is Riley's faction, which re-established a hive mind. In contrast, I can't imagine Hugh's faction putting up with that for one second after what Lore did. I would've liked to be in the room for that argument, since I'm pretty sure Hugh wouldn't have minced words as to what he thought of that version of the Cooperative.

    (For that matter, my Liberated Borg BOFF would've probably treated Riley's faction to the whole swear dictionary for that, as despite her totally Borgified physical appearance, she has a completely human personality and retook her name immediately.)

    My LBs all reclaimed their former names as well but left there designation as middle names to remind them of why the want to keep their individuality. All Borg still have the neural link embedded in the brain stem allowing them to communicate with others telepathically through subspace. There is an inherent danger in using that ability though as it may alert the Collective to your location, as Seven has taught us.

    Even today "Seven" still uses her Borg designation instead of accepting her birth name. So it really is up to the individual Borg to decide. But we've seen many sides of liberated Borg drones, Hugh and his clan, Lore and his army, Riley and her group as well as the separatist there prior to the reestablishment of the collective mind there.

    For this reason I don't ever see the Borg becoming an independent faction. But that doesn't mean we couldn't see friends or new foes of the Borg type.

    Additionally, what about the fact that ::spoiler alert:: the collective had infected an Undine?? Surely there is more story to come from that little morsel isn't there?

    The Cooperative, alike the Undine, Voth, Kobali, Elachi, Krenim and Suliban before them will likely never appear again.

    Depends; I would argue that, IF Cryptic enlisted the voice-acting talents of Jeri Ryan again, we most certainly could see the a reappearance of the Cooperative.
    But we don't need Jeri Ryan for the Cooperative. Just like we don't need Micheal Dorn if we want more Klingon, or a Andrew Robinson if we wanted Cardassian.

    The Cooperative served as a plot device, and Cryptic loves creating them. Think how many species we've met, fought or encountered that have disappeared into the background. Look at the Tholian, there was huge potential with them, same with the Elachi, and now they're practically wasted material. Cryptic can't seem to enhance what they've got, they're always trying to push something new and shiny out the door.

    Advanced Borg Magnetic-Resonance Beam

    Energy Damage: Antiproton
    360' targeting arc
    404.2 Antiproton Damage (336 DPS)
    25% chance on critical hit: 10 Antiproton Damage to All Shields per second for 10 seconds

    Set 2 - Borg Hibernative Regeneration: When affected by a system failure (Viral Matrix, Target Subsystem, Boarding Party etc.) Shield and Hull Repair increased 200%
    Set 3 - Borg Adaptive Technology: When Attacking a single target with energy weapons for 8 seconds +10% Shield Penetration every 3 seconds up to 100% Switching Targets removes this effect.
    Set 4 - Resistance is Futile: While being attacked, once every 2 minutes on direct damage attacks to grant Borg Boarding Party, (-10 Crew, to target 50% Disable Subsystem for 10 Sec, 80% chance kill 5% or 5 Crew (lesser value) per second for 3 seconds, 70% chance to restart GCD every second for 5 seconds.




    not another antiproton omni. they already are in the forehand by having a mission omni and a crafted omni.

    borg should use plasma and deliver maybe a plasma one.

    or better: make it just "any energy weapon type" scaling with 20% less than normal effectivity, but with ALL energy weapon type consoles.

    Oh, I'd love Andrew! If the Cardassians do come into the game, Garak needs to be running the rebuilt Government or Obsidian Order and be a MASSIVE part of things. He writes Star Trek novels as well, doesn't he...he'd probably be well-up for it!

    And about antiproton...why couldn't they just have given phasers the same procs as and let us be closer to canon and use them instead?

    Oh and weren't the Borg always supposed to use disruptors? I never understood them going to plasma and then having to rely on Hazard Emitters to survive the burn.

    Lockboxes are evil cashgrabbing tool, and somehow I just *know* it would end up with cubes everywhere and people screaming to increase the exchange EC cap to at least 2 bil. I would prefer a Cooperative reputation.

    Actually one thing the Cooperative drones brought to my attention that I want is more borgy bits for liberated captains/boffs. some of the options they have are downright cool.
    If you want to be able to take a REALLY close look.... check them out in the Foundry.

    I personally don't see merit in a playable cooperative. I do see the cooperative as the successors and way to bring back the true Borg again, though. Get rid of the Voyagerized enslaved Borg and the vampire queen and establish a true collective again, stalking the universe to enhance thenselves and "help" other species to enhance thenselves as well. Make them the menacing force of nature they once were, because the cooperative as displayed in VOY is closer to a real hive mind than the queen controlled robots we got.​​

    Honestly I thought that was where Cryptic was going when they introduced the Corrosive Plasma Weapons. I'm all for the Borg having a plasma variant as that is what Memory Alpha states they use.

    Some of my Borg captains use plasma over Anti-proton weapons as I feel that is a better representation. But since the corrosive plasma weapons were already used and I didn't have much else to work with I went with the popular choice here.

    I did go with all variants being available with the Integrated Borg Survivalist Sleeve Mk XII and the weapons from the lockbox idea as plasmatic-antiproton weapons and an idea. The real problem I have with what kinds of weapons the Borg might actually have is the fact that we don't see the Borg in ground firefights. The only energy weapons we are sure they use are ship weapons.

    In the Memory Alpha clip though it states that drones were outfitted with forced plasma beam weapons.
