Borg Exploration missions are messed up.

They're basically copy paste missions. Instead of Klingons or Cardassians or whatever you have the Borg.

This leads to horribly unBorg-like dialogue.

"Everything was going just fine until the Borg contacted us and asked us to work for them as well.
I really don't like the Borg and I think they figured that out. Before our conversation could end formally, they were screaming in their native language, and they let us know that we'd pay for our refusal."

Then another time the Borg spoke directly to me as if they were the True Way.

Basically this happens.. a lot.

:cool:

    "They were here within a few hours. At first it was only vandalism, but a couple of fights broke out and it escalated to murder!"

    Darn those Borg vandals!

    So, it's gone from:

    We are the Borg. Your technological and biological distinctivness will be added to our own. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. *commence pew*

    To

    We're the borg teenagers and we've got these spray cans yo!

    You mean you actually bother to read those missions?

    This is clearly a bug. We're working on a fix. There are certain subsets of missions (like trade and commodity missions) that the Borg should not have access to. I'm pretty certain the Borg don't want to improve relations by trading 10 Holoprojectors.

    i.e. "We screwed up bad" or "We were lazy and hoped nobody noticed, because face it... who reads quest text... *pew pew*"

    Haaa! That's worth it just for the picture in my head of Borg vandalizing random planets.

    I don't know about the holoprojectors. Those drones look like they could really use a few sessions of Vulcan Love Slave!

    "This outpost is ours to pillage, your presence here is a hostile action. Prepare to die!"

    I actually thought the borg exploration missions were a new subset of new missions, fitting for the borg. I was pretty disappointed when I found out they were just a copy&paste job, but when I realized it even was a horrible one, I couldn't believe it. About 85-90% of the mission briefings just don't fit at all for the borg. I'd say your subset of missions is more like 4/5 are not applicable. Oh, did I mention I just cleaned a research facility from the Gorn? Yea, nice work. If at least all whatever species had been replaced by borg, but no, f****ing gorn. :mad:

    Well y'know, the Undine did TRIBBLE them up pretty badly. Or maybe these are Lore's Borg.

    It's the Borg, if you don't find yourself either crapping yourself or mysteriously hearing voices after a bit of neck pain something has gone badly wrong somewhere...

    Species 8472 was an exception to the rule. They will be assimilated.... in time.

    "The Borg planned a subtle campaign to align the predominant culture with theirs."

    Who needs assimilation when you can also do it that way?^^

    We are the Borg. Trade us your commodities. Your biological and technological products will be added to our own. Prices are reasonable!
