Greetings Captains
I got a little question...I've read that there is an playable Borg race ingame. But I can't find them in Zen Shop or in the "normal" charakter selection. Is there still a way for me to purchase them? I really like them and I want to play one of those assimilating freaks.
Best regards

Other than that, you're out of luck.
**Edit** Defalus is right... Changed post to reflect.

Thanks a lot

There... Semi Liberated Borg... Only downside is that you can't get the borg stun ability, but you know... meh.
sorry to tell you but playing borg you cant go assimilating
I know. It was just an...explanation. It was a bit over powered if you can assimilat others ingame. But thanks for the hint.
@starkaos
Thanks for the hints. That ould help me a lot to create a "Borg infected crew"
@anazonda
Mmmh sure...but it's not really the same you know. It's like a picture of an ice cream. It lokks like an ice cream but it's not.
Well actually, it's the other way around...
With the LTS Borg, you get the picture, with the alien, you get the ice-cream.
Why?
Simple: With The LTS Borg, you're stuck with 2 traits, that you can't change. There is litteraly only a few props setting Alien and LTS Borg apart...
Its not like they would hold any great controversy over cross dressing (having seen the cropped winter jacket thread :P) or look terribly out of place, surely?
Basically because 7 of 9 was a woman.
At least thats what people say... Personally, from the way "she" looks, I am not too sure.
You are joking, Yes?
Plastic surgery has made people look different for a long time...
That really sucks they should be put in the C-shop just like the rest of the races. it's totally unfair. Anyway i have a question is there a male Liberated Borg Bridge Officer or is it just the female coz i want a male one?

Um, how is it "unfair" exactly? Personally I would think it would be unfair if every F2Per suddenly had access to the Liberated Borg.
BTW, There is a male Liberated Borg science officer.
Just wanted to add my opinion here, they wouldn't really be Borg, just wannabe's with Borg costume parts.
thats cool are there any engineers?

Borg stun ability? Sorry been playing al iberated Borg since day 1, so I might have forgotten about it as an option since I created my main.

Buy two Xs and you get 1 X for free.<< thats how most sales with bonuses work.That type of bonus doesnt limit the person to buy 3 Xs one by one without getting the free X.
That race or traits ,or cosmetic items will appear sooner or later..is just a matter of how many people will be willing to pay for them....that doesnt meant "liberated borg" .They can sell "borg drone" .:rolleyes:
there have been topics about getting liberated borg available for everyone since day 1 of the game pretty much. so yeah, i doubt liberated borg will ever be available to non LTS'ers. and if they make a clone of the lib borg race and sell it to everyone its pretty much the same thing.
it's unfair because you have to pay about $300 in real money to get it thats why. when even a Klingon character doesn't cost that much it should be avaliable to anyone that wants it just like the other Zen buy-able playable charaters even if they made it 1200 zen instead of 600 zen & that life time subscribers got it for free at least it would be fair. i don't have $300 to spend on a game & neither do other people if we were to buy a non-internet based game from a store it wouldn't cost that much to get everything the game offered & we could use every thing. i've spent my fair share on this game & if i want to spand more on getting a character i want then i should be able to without having to fork out hundreds of $$$ just so i have the option. it is very unfair.
You mean unfair to you personally.
Just because something you want is outside of your price range doesn't mean its unfair, just unfair in your mind.
It's like saying it's unfair that you cant have a flashy new sports car just because you can't afford it, there are just some things you have to pay extra money for.
Sometimes standing out in a crowd can be expensive, I'm fine with that.
Sorry man, not unfair at all
Granted, i've been a lifer since open beta, so my forking out the $250 (it was cheaper for a week) has already paid for itself in what i'd be paying in subscription fees all these years, was well worth it and i have never looked back from paying it. However, they can't just give away the farm to people who just started joining the game and want to play liberated borg characters. If they had it on the C-store for $20 imagine how many people there would be who are liberated borg. they would be everywhere. Realistically, in star trek, there has only ever been a small handful liberated borg that we have seen, and they all were liberated under very special circumstances. how would it be in STO to have half the population be liberated borg? I think it was brilliant of cryptic to do it this way, rewards loyalty, and makes only those who are loyal customer to sto able to recieve it.
Furthermore, it's not $300 for the liberated borg character. It's $300 to recieve lifetime subscription rewards, including the 500 zen stipend each month, access to the foundry, and instant unlock of all (really awesome) Vetran rewards. Cryptic has to pay the bills somehow, they can't just have the whole world being able to play sto without limits for free.
One of these threads pop up every so often (From what I see as I don't actively search them out)
I'll say what I've always said..
I've been a lifetime member since pre-launch, so I've had access to Liberated Borg. They're not that great, actually the Season 5 trait change made them worse IMO.
Just so F2P players are aware several species were made free when the game was converted. I paid for access to my Ferengi, Rigelian, and Tellarite. All of which players get for free now, no refund to my account.
Nobody is entitled here, I paid for the species, so should you.
The game is Free to Play, not Everything for Free
TBH the species isn't even that great, none of my 50s are Liberated Borg. Efficient aint what it used to be and the nanite regen won't save you. The stun is minor and short lived, so they really have no huge advantage. If its a RP complaint, make an Alien, choose infected skin tone and toss a Temporal Jump Suit on the toon. I had an alien toon KDF side and his concept was a Liberated Orion. The differences are minor.....
Traits, shmaits.....for me is all about MAH EYE LAZER!!!
pfft It's a well known fact that Ferengi lobes are sexier than a silly eye laser
