    how's about they fix bugs first, before worrying about adding yet another faction?

    That said, I would love it if STFs became Borg vs Fed/KDF/Rom pvp xD

    I agree.. Borg must be the 4th Playable faction, after all it would be interesting Commanding a Borg cube and other Borg ships. It would be interesting to assimilate other Players just like the the Borg in STFs do :)

    I want the Borg to be the next playable faction! :D

    No thank you. Between Voyager and STF's for the reputation.. I have had enough of the Borg.

    While I'm against the Spoon heads becoming a player faction I think they will move onto them and do something similiar to them as they have done with the Romulan Republic...

    I.E.. Maybe the Spoon heads are having problems with the Mirror Universe... bla bla bla lalala 5 missions done... now join the Feds or KDF!

    The devs already said that the Borg wouldn't be a playable faction, since you...wouldn't actually play a Drone, the game would play it for you like when you're assimilated in ground content.

    YOU are not in control of the Drone, THE COLLECTIVE is, and The Collective is just an AI routine ran amok like HAL or Skynet.

    I just find it amusing that people actually want to be a tooth on a gear in the machine, rather then being an individual.

    The Borg collective allied with Starfleet and /or the KDF maybe should only be playable by Lifers as they are the only people with access to the Lib borg species anyhow. Cant see them adding a faction for only a small group of players though.
    Still waiting to be able to use forum titles

    LOL

    and I though spawning next to a couple of Scimitars outside ds9 was bad imagine the collision box on a couple of borg cubes :P

    It was stated that we won't ever be able to play an evil faction, aka no Tal Shiar alliances.
    and the new romulan mini-faction would be the blueprint for adding other factions into game so they could mesh with the overall storyline. How exactly would anyone be welcoming the Borg into a Fed/Kdf faction after all the destruction they have caused? How would you mesh them with the current storyline remove borg STFs?

    Let me get this straight: first you make a thread where you ask when the Borg Collective will be playable

    http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=837391

    and people tell you it won't because Cryptic already said they won't make an evil faction.
    So just a couple of days later you make ANOTHER thread where you ask them to make the collective playable.
    Which part of the word NO do you not understand?

    I had an idea about this a while back where a playable borg would be viable, in that their tutorial starts your controlled by the ai just like when you are assimilated, then the cube your on is attacked by a party of Hugh-like borg who are trying to free other Borg, they capture and free you then you are "liberated" albeit still very much borg, now you start playing borg aligned missions such as liberation runs and assimilating new crew from existing borg.

    That way your a full borg but arnt part of the collective, perhaps you are a collective of your own but of liberated minds. And your not a bad guy and can also do mishs and stfs that exist now.

    New powers

    Adaption: weakened by their separation their adaption is now only a slight resistance that improves the more times struck by one energy type but this only stacks to 5 and disappears after a timer then would have to build resistance again also you can only resist one energy type at a time.

    Assimilation: a temporary short range attack the injects an organic foe with nanites turning them against their own team for a limited time.

    New Kits

    The borg kits are visually different as they change the exoplating on your character for each purpose, (e.g. Tactical Borg would have heavy exoplating whereas a medical drone would have less so)

    Weapons

    Borg weapons would be new prosthetics or armor additions for differant purposes.

    Ships

    Ships would range from heavily assimilated ships such as defiant or warbirds etc as well as borg spheres and cubes

    No playable Borg, thank you.

    They're already overdone in ST universe. Their ships are plain boring. Their faction has no personality.

    And there is no individual borg. If you aren't part of the Collective, you are no longer the Borg.

    A, this isn't even the right forum. B, it doesn't make sense from a story standpoint. C, Cryptic has flat-out said they're not making any evil factions. D, Cryptic has flat-out said they're not making any Borg factions either. E, learn to freaking spellcheck.

    No kidding. The Borg are a glorified Bee colony (ant colony before First Contact). There is no individuality. There is NO CHOICE. You do as you are commanded without complaint. Only the Queen has any choice, and even that is debateable. There is only ONE voice in the collective, and it tolerates no other views.

    Anyone who thinks it is possible to play a drone with a personality doesn't understand what the Borg are. Automitons. Nothing more. Might as well play a MINDLESS zombie. People really need to think about what they are asking for when they idealize the Borg.

    C'mon Cryptic. Lets do this! Heres how. Make the Borg the only one player faction. Thats it one person gets to roll as the Borg Queen and command an army of drones. This spot goes to the highest bidder (Or put it up on the c store for 500,000 Z or whatever is profitable) with one more spot going to a Locutus.

    If you do that, you might as well make it the reward for comming in at the top of the PvP pile. They were talking about insituting a PvP scoreboard at some point. Your suggestion could be the reward for that top spot.

    And this is the only way I would ever seriously seriously consider supporting a Borg faction. For one player and one player only.

    That was sarcasm...

    The only Borg faction we could get is a liberated Borg faction. Its not much of a stretch, we already have liberated boffs.

    1)no, just no, the Borg have no individuals and thus no room for you.
    2) Cryptic has stated no many times in the past
    3)one of the two perks exclusive to a lifetime subscription is being able to play on one of the current factions as a Liberated Borg, you want to be Borg, buy a lifetime sub like the rest.

    You are an enlisted officer, but you are a person. Within Fed or KDF.

    The Borg drones aren't even a people, but one personality across them all.

    When you are liberated, you are no longer the Borg.

    Already available Liberated Borg species does it well enough.

    First: No.
    Second: Those Borg fanships in the OP look hideous.
    Third: No.

    It's bad enough what Voyager did to the Borg. There is no "Queen" as well, the Borg are a hive mind. Any attempt to personalize them hurts. Baaad.

    I would however settle for a kind of "monster play". Let people temporarily control a cube in a big PvEvP fleet action. It doesn't matter how it wouldn't make sense, just from a gameplay point of view it would make for interesting matches.

    If you actually played a proper Borg character on a proper Borg ship, YOU wouldn't be in control of anything.
    You'd be the drone in the bowels of the ship who's job it is to stand in an alcove for half a day, stick it's arm implant into the Borg coffee machine to make it work, ignore intruders and then be the one who gets shot so the other drones can adapt.


    :D

    Says it all really.


    HMM makes me wonder what a Borg coffee tastes like...and what kind of options their Mr. Coffee provides.

    -Cream
    -Sugar
    -Microfibers
    -Eyepiece
    -Nanoprobes

    ...?

    You could play as one of the collectives' command drones like locutus who is mostly self aware just has no emotions.

    Or maybe you could play as a Borg who is a member of a group of drones who escaped the collective due to a software glitch.

    That decided to start a small collective were everyone is self aware and they decide to try to destroy the old borg collective so that no one has to go through what they went through.

    However for efficiency's sake they share their knowlage via assimilation and still use borg vessels (modified to not respond to the old collective).

    I vote no playable Borg collective. I'm fine with liberated drones as part of other factions, but the collective should be off limits.

    If this game is to have another faction, it should be Cardassian/Dominion.

    Hey hey now!

    BAD ZOMBIE BAD GO BACK TO THE GROUND!

    Seriously folks, if a thread hasn't been responded to in 30 days please don't bring it back up :( If you feel you need to continue the thread by all means make a new one! :)
