    Yes. There is an entire sector of "borg space" once you reach Admiral, and you can take an infinite amount of missions in that area. Also, the end game raids feature Borg.

    No game goes on forever. They all have a beginning, middle, and end- and when they get expansions the end gets pushed back for a time.

    While the above is true, I can't remember the last time I've had an exploration mission that ACTUALLY had Borg in it, instead of just about every other race available.

    It though they were adding new mission and content all the time, they are up dating the klingon capains and talking about a new faction.

    so to me it seem like its a long way off til the end it could go on for years yet.

    unless u know any different i.e they have given finish date???

    That's odd. Most of the B'tran EMs are nearly exclusively Borg for me, at least as far as the Ground Missions. In fact we just had a discussion on the forum yesterday about wanting to expand the Mark system to allow us to go into other Exploration zones so-as to enounter foes besides the Borg.

    STO is currently designed to run about 80 hours of play to go from 1 to 45. When you get to 45 you play to better your characters and your ship: basically you do missions and STFs to fill up your ships and ground grew with Purple Gear. After that you're left with basically starting over, doing PvP, or doing STF raids.

    STO will be adding 45-50 content later this year and Dstahl has already hinted at Tier 6 ships and level 51 but that'll be some time off. It's impossible for Devs to keep creating missions faster then players play them. What takes you 15 minutes to play through takes weeks of work for a Dev team.

    There's no actual end date. There's just a point where there's nothing really left for players to do. At that point you generally start over to try another character type, do PvP, or try to play through a new Faction.

    I think you're misunderstanding what "end game" means. In MMOs it means "level cap", or the highest possible level it is currently possible to reach. When you reach Rear Admiral 3 you can start taking missions in the Gamma Orionis which feature the Borg as the predominant enemy. Rear Admiral 5 is currently the "level cap" and thus Gamma Orionis is currently considered the "end game". This will change as the level cap is raised and more content is added.

    They are as random chance as any of the hostile races for showing up during exploration missions. I've done quite a bit of those missions, and so far only came across one space mission involving the Borg. Meanwhile, I've had probably a dozen or so ground missions with them.

    Pure chance.
