Assimilated Starships!

So I was just thinking, with all the conflict going on against the Borg, why can't we have an option to change our ship appearance to be partially assimilated, sort of like how Voyager was partially assimilated by 7 of 9?

It would make an awesome mission reward, and wouldn't require anything except new textures (and possibly some extra lighting effects).

    It's a grand idea that comes straight from Star Trek Voyager as you say and is possible, but personally I would want the Borg upgrades to have a bonus effect to my Starship, with perhaps a time limit as in the episode, I believe it was Scorpion part II, the Borg components were interfering with vital systems over time aboard the USS Voyager NCC-74656, which is why Torres had to remove them.

    I would like it as a reward that comes in two parts. One part is an accolade that unlocks the costume option for the ship and a script that starts a free change of your ships looks like letting a new officer join does for them. The other would be a blue or purple engineering console that affects the efficiency of a few systems on board. And of course it would have to be in a mission that accessible to both sides.

    However, I would like it more if it came with trade offs, that way not everyone would fly around in a assamilated ship. Where is the fun if Everyone has it? I would like the option for most if not not people to get it (accolade idea is great, work for it!) and then it comes with trade offs so its not used in every situation and to make it go away, go to star base to remove the upgrades. Just so people cant change them on the fly.

    I definitely would love to see this. It would be a great compliment for my Liberated Borg captain.

    Could be interesting, too, if it unlocked new interactions with the Borg. Perhaps they can see the modifications and be more likely to ignore you, since it looks like you're already part of the collective. Or they take control of your ship and drag you into some fun and exciting situations.
