mirror univers borg.
While the Borg in the Mirror Universe have the same hive-like mentality, the same assimilation methods, and the same advanced technology as their Federation universe counterparts, the similarity ends there. The Borg of the mirror universe are proactively nonaggressive and will not attack any race. the Borg will use every diplomatic resource at their disposal to convinc the race to assimilate in to the collectve . In addition, while the Borg of the Federation universe move in a jerky, stiff-legged fashion, those of the mirror universe are much quicker thanks to advances made in nanoprobe technology. Borg ships also differ in the mirror universe, as they are much larger. The cubes measure 10 kilometers or more on each, and they are equipped with a vast array of weapons that could easily destroy a Vor'cha class cruiser with a single shot. only if attked
dont know who came up with this but it may work

Individual liberated Borg are one thing. The Collective is another.
The Borg are the Enemy. Period.
I agree....the same for the Undine,they also should NEVER be a playable faction...EVER! We need our enemies!:D
Besides that,a common foe is what we need if we ever want cross faction team up.:p
And to Cryptic,you might be against the whole idea of cross faction team up,but in a way it already happens...DSE in Borg space.Yes,I've been bad-mouthed for showing up as a KDF Klingon in those DSE's by some idiot Fed player,but most gladly accept my help against the Borg!And Fed players have returned the favor by helping me when needed.This is what Star Trek is about,not willingly create animosity between players of different factions.
indeed, seconded.
Making them a whole playable faction would ruin the cosmic horror aspect.
With the whole hive mentality... How will missions work?
Another player is closer to the mission you have... With the hive mentality going on that mission will be given to that player and you... Will never leave the starter area.
It just doesn't make sense on how a playable borg could work.
see thats the thig it would be mirror universe borg .that leaves it open . they would be the opposite of the other Borg
exactly thats y it would be so open to interruption
Yes yes we got plenty of non canon stuff here... But Borg is Borg and should always be Borg.
How so? If they are a playable faction, they would cease to be an occasional adversary, and Mirror Borg is a huuuge stretch canon-wise, something CBS would more than likely shoot down( I am assuming you meant "open to interpretation"?).
Like Hugh's Borg?
So much for Rodenberry's parallels about human redemption and looking forward to a bright new future.
I mean, there were children sleeping on those cubes that Picard blew up.
yup. and you got to remember one thing . its about the buck now if CBS thinks they can make good money off of something they will do it just look at JJ film case closed lol
Agreed. Again.
This for the truth of it. The Borg should not, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be a playable faction.

Or the episodes where Borg were freed and still managed to be less annoying than Wesley:

Honestly its a pretty dream, but a non-realistic one none-the-less.
Hugh, Seven of Nine and all those effected by Unimatrix Zero may disagree with you there...
I dunno about that... was just watching First Contact and Nemesis last night. Deanna is like a fine wine... she got better with age. Personally, I think she's one hot number in uniform vs. Seven of Nine in the spandex.
I still wouldn't let her pilot my ship though
Yeah, and I'm sure there were some really nice TRIBBLE too.
And all of those were "liberated" ( meaning no longer part of the collective) Borg....
Not entirely true. Those impacted by Unimatrix Zero were still part of the Collective.
I personally predict that after the Klingons, Romulans, the next playable race would be the Borg faction...
And STO/Cryptic would probably place this Borg faction under a new STO Expansion, where everyone have to pay extra to play (even Lifetime Subscribers will have to pay more)...
Just my 2 cents...
Then you can have a character that looks just like a Borg!
Of course, this requires you to have a "backstory" for your character. For instance:
This is my character's back story, of course he is a liberated Borg but if the implants were open to the "Alien" then, just like magic, my "Alien" is a Borg!
I'd rather see Romulans, Cardassians, and Ferengi factions first. And I'd really love a Dominion faction.
Nice try. CBS made zero dollars on JJ Trek, because Paramount does the movies, not CBS. CBS has the shows, not the movies.
The Borg Collective should never be playable, mostly because they cannot be playable in a way that would be enjoyable for the person playing them, without devastating canon or making them very overpowered in PvP. Borg are not only told what to do, but how to do it, every step of the way. Nobody would want to play that.
