Liberated Borg Captain Never Needing to Remodulate?

dervacus

I've noticed while running the ground patrol, One Night in Bozeman, that my newly made Liberated Borg Romulan captain never needs to remodulate energy weapons. I was using a Sonic Antiproton Compression Pistol and maybe thought (even though the Borg clearly aren't Tholians) that the 'physical damage vs Tholians' was maybe bugging out, but then I switched to a standard Plasma Full Auto Rifle and still never had to use my Frequency Remodulator. My Alien Federation captain needs to remodulate often while using an energy weapon on this same patrol, same with my Klingon KDF captain. I haven't been able to find anything about this through Star Trek Online wiki, Google, or asking other players. With the exception of the Frequency Remodulation device which I never had to use, I don't see anything about frequency remodulation or Borg adaptation on my gear, traits, active buffs, BOffs, etc. Thought it could be my Tribble of Borg, like maybe a hidden effect not in the tooltip, so I did a run with a different tribble effect active and still didn't need to remodulate. Anyone know what's up with this? Am I missing something, not reading something correctly, or is this a hidden feature to the Liberated Borg species of captain, or bug, what is going on?

That's likely because he is newly made. Borg don't adapt to your weapons until around level 20.

A special mechanic of ground Borg mobs is that they can adapt to the attacks of players, making further weapon attacks effectively useless against them. Borg Adaptation does not appear to take affect until level 40. Before then, Borg do not seem to adapt on the ground.

Shoot, I should have checked before I click that you answered it. My Captain is 38

I may be wrong about the exact level that Borg start adapting to your energy weapons.

I have noticed the same thing with a level 31 character and a level 26 character so far in this event, I don't know yet if any of the other Borg scenarios do it. The adaption threshold could be as high as the old endgame level of 50 or something.

No, they definitely adapt before level 50 but I may be very wrong with suggesting 20. It sounds like 40 could be the magic level here...

I think it also varies by content. The Borg in the mirror universe Janeway TFO don’t adapt at all. I hope if they give us new frequency remodulators if we are doing a mirror Borg arc. I don’t think you can craft the Deferia remodulators any more. The remodulator effect takes too long and even the TR-81 and Cochrane shotgun feels sorry so slow. I’m used to my opposition melting away in Star Warcrimes Online.

you buy remodulators for free in your inventory replicators. my captain has a set of Omega armor with the insta - remodulate.
