OK I know there is probably a thousand upset life time members right now about this special Borg gift that we get for paying $240+ US Dollars for a life time membership.
The $240 dollars is for the Life time membership...That is Great in it self Thank you for that Cryptic & Atari

The playable Borg we get is "Nerfed" & has no skills to specializes in Guns or Martial Arts compared to other races that you can get. Other races that you can choose from will get 1 to 3 race traits plus you get to choose 1 to 3 other skill traits depending on what race you pick. Here is the problem.... Not all the Trait skills tree will be displayed.....& this extends out not just the Borg but other races as well.
The Borg only has one good space trait that is part of its race traits and that is "Efficient.: The Borg "Nanites" is OK as well....But here is the problem...Other than the one obvious choice you get in the open skill tree which is the "Borg Neural Blast" the Borg has no other useful attack traits. everything in the skill tree is for defense passive & mostly useless for space & ground.
Here is what I propose that Cryptic & Atari can take into consideration for the next patch before we go live to the open public.
{#1} Problem with Borg: is they are not really good at anything. They cant specialize in Guns nor Martial Arts, They will not do well with guns or any weapons because they do not have the Soldier skill to choose from. {Borg should have had an attached arm Gun and a full Borg out fit ..But thats another discussion.}
(#2) Problem with Borg: They are not good at Hand-To-Hand Martial Arts combat...Even tho they do have "Nanites" it is a close range ground skill. But thats it.... no Covert skill. They do have Physical Strength but thats not enough to specialize into Martial Arts with... You need Covert as well.
Please Cryptic & Atari take these next suggestions into serious consideration for the next patch before we go live to the entire world.
Please open up the skill tree fully for Borg characters like you have it for the Unknown Alien builds. Or at least please and in a ground weapons skill for guns & Hand-to-hand such as:
Covert for Martial Arts
Soldier for Guns
Thank you for your time & Considerations.

The borg is just a minor bonus, you aren't paying for BORG, you are paying so you never have to do monthly subscriptions. In a year and a half that lifetime subscription for itself, alot of poeple play a MMO more then that, take WoW for example. People been playing for several years now.
And seriously, I don't want to see some superpowered race in game just because you 'paid' for it. Borg is just a small bonus, thats all it's going to be
This......
Exactly. I didn't pay $240 for a race. I paid $240 so I never have to pay any more money for this, outside of expansions.
You paid that much for a LIFETIME SUB, the Borg was just a bonus.... If you were willing to pay $240 for an extra character model I have a bridge I need to sell.
Silly. That's a regular Borg. Not a liberated one.
I figure they could end up adding the real Borg as a playable race years down the line in an expansion. Could be neat.
But long before they do that, they will add the Cardassian/Romulan faction.
Its nice to have the option to play as a borg, but really its no biggie...
How about someone makes up a fewq constructive points on the best way to build a Borg?
For me the available traits suggest support role..
I'm not upset at all.
I'm also not convinced that Nanites regenerates correctly (it may be bugged).
Borgs may have gun arms, but we aren't Borg. We're Liberated Borg which means we've returned to the Human race with a couple of left over enhancements.
i agree with this, they couldnt release the lib borg like they were in the shows and movies. they would be very over powered.
we bought a lt for this game
You were expecting RMT? ala, lib borg superior to everyone because it has 100000 bonus's and all that?
Nope. Not even the joined trill or any other races have 'extreme' bonus's.
Its fine as it is.
The Liberated Borg do not get bonuses to guns and martial arts because the Borg do not use guns and martial arts.
I guess that's why you can only play a human liberated Borg. The implants could have gotten in the way of alien face thingies. I still play mine as unknown though.
So far I have to agree with you two. However I'll withhold my judgment until I see how easy it is to respec in-game compared to making a 10$/2min transaction with credit card, or what kind of content they release through the store in comparison with usual P2P MMO updating / expansion processes (hearing about that map in CO makes me wonder, but I don't have all the details and don't play that game).
I bought the lifetime sub to play it as long as the game is out, in no way would I ever pay this much money just for a silly in game item. Just my thought anyways. :cool:
