Borg Cubes Running into you

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
Im tired of engaging borg cubes and having them keep coming at u in till they are bumping up against u. For one its just silly that not what a borg cube should do and two its annoying because those explosions always get u. Anyone else think that this should be changed?

    Actually, the image of a Borg cube heedlessly trundling through and over all opposition like a steamroller seems pretty darned appropriate to me. I've always kinda thought all the surface junk on cubes should start latching onto and assimilating anything useful it runs into, eventually spawning off a new cube like an amoeba or something...

    And I'm a little loopy right now.

    I definately agree. I love that 50k ship explosion because my shields have been completely drained. I'm to the point where when I fight a cube i just drive away from it constantly since shield facing doesn't matter.. since I have none. Try popping brace for impact when you know its going to blow up.. maybe you'll survive. probably not.

    The Borg function as designed, and have in the TV shows. They pull you in with tractor beam, drop your shields, and start shredding your hull. The cube is a massive ship and when it implodes/explodes - it should be massive damage.

    Technically they are not running into you. It's you that are not moving away from them. The cube ship are slow so it's easy to move out of the way unless they got you with a tractor beam :D

    So, basically, your request in a nutshell is thus:

    "I die in the game to this all the time even though I could easily avoid it with minimal thought and action, so it should not do that and change it so I have fun."

    Good luck with that, and life for that matter. You're going to need it.
