I am liking the season, the Dev Team really did your homework with this one. Impressive. First of all, Borg have always captivated me as a kid. One my first Trek movies was First Contact. It's nice to see the Borg get their "TNG grit" back. Love their designs, they look like a mix between classic TNG with their armor plates we see in the later seasons and the sleek bio look of Voyager/FC Borg. I also love the fact the Borg "announcements" take a page from TNG "Q Who" the more "mechanical menacing voice" rather than the "choir-like" Borg we are used to. Also the taking of random NPCs similar to Picard was in "Best of Both Worlds" was a nice touch.
As for the Borg, If you have read the Star Trek Destiny Novels that depict a Borg Invasion in early 2381, the new Borg act very similarly killing all non-combat officers and assimilating only the ones that are of use. I also loved that fact that as soon as you beam into the cube, the Borg don't automatically pounce on you like they do in game as you look for Kuumarkee, reminds me again of "Best of Both Worlds" including the "distribution nodes" on the ceiling. Again great call back.
It seems to me whoever was in charge allowed the creative team to go "ham" on this Season. Very well done. By the way sharp, bridge interiors too. Makes me want to spring for that throwback bundle so I can get the classic dust-buster and "square" phasers.
