Thus far I'm very impressed with what I've seen in this latest patch. The Elite setting is hard core and very exciting. The addition of all weapon types at Omega fleet is great and the adjustments to the Exchange are extremely helpful.
I've only seen a few bugs thus far and those are only where the Omega Fleet purchases are concerned, namely how the ground weapons are listed as having 10,000 damage and such.
That said, I only have one request which I will now solemnly beg Cryptic to adjust.
Uncluster the frackin Borg!!! For the love of all that's holy, is there any reason to have 12 cubes and 35 support spheres within firing distance of eachother?!! Adjust the parameters a bit. Set it so that the Borg groups can't approach within 200 kilometers of eachother, please!! It's nearly impossible to complete the Defend the Sector Block missions when you have to try and face down 40+ Borg at the same time because some dillhole drew 4 separate groups together to form a Borg cluster ****.
Seriously guys, yes, I know that it can be done and that we're all suppose to work as a unit but that only happens in reality once every blue moon. Hell, even the separate groups can be a bit much for 2 ships cooperating, but when you have Borg huddled together like they're trying to stay warm, it sucks the immersion out of the game. Cut down the number of Borg in a group to one cube and maybe 2 spheres and just make then more difficult.
We've all been there. You go to attack a Borg group and all the sudden you have 6 cubes, 12 probes and 10 Spheres lighting you up like a Christmas tree with enough tractor beams, plasma torpedoes and Borg emery weapons to rip a whole in space time. When that happens you can't get away 90% of the time and you can activate all the skills you have to no avail. (That's if you can activate them while 30 Borg are slamming you with that stupid reset timer thingy. Basically, you're dead in 8 seconds.
The game is great Cryptic, you're making excellent progress and I'm happy and going nowhere, but please add some permanent separation to these guys, usually its cool, but it should never become too much for a well trained group of 5 to handle which is what happens all too often when 50 Borg are aloud to gather in a 100 square kilometer area.
