We want the Borg.

in Star Trek Online General Discussion
I don't know about you, but I for one would like to fly a borg cube someday. I think it would be a great idea if players could operate them. Perhaps just liberated borg characters but regardless, I want borg. Also, even if we the players do not get to fly borg ships, why only have so few? Take a look at the mod "Star Trek Armada 3" for "Sins of a Solar Empire" and you will see about 20 different borg ships. Why do they not have more ships? Other games also had more ships btw, including a xbox exclusive.

    Speaking on behalf of myself ... I want Undine!

    If they ever do add in another faction (not a 'new tutorial') I suspect it'll be the spoon heads.

    'We want the Borg?"

    You are being very liberal in your definition of 'we' because I sure as heck don't want to see playable Borg Ships.

    You want the Borg.. 'We' do not. ;)

    I want the Borg - to remain as torpedo-target NPC. We've got enough hugely-oversized ships flying around, from the Romulan Scimitars to my own beloved spacegoing city, the temporal dreadnought USS Aeon Flux.​​

    You may have a playable Borg race, with spheres, probes, and assimilated versions of other faction ships, but you may not have anything the size of a cube.

    This.

    Afraid to say that I am one of those who would very probably stop playing STO if this ever happened.

    I have said before, I'll say again..

    I thoroughly believe that playable Borg ships will be the very last thing they do for a last 'cash infusion' when they feel the game is about to shut down. I don't believe that will be anytime soon, and I sure hope it doesn't happen at all. But I'm with you, the day that people start flying around in Borg Cubes is probably the day I'll decide that I have had a good run with STO but it will be time to move on.

    Disagree. I'm still waiting for a playable Voth Citadel.

    As much as I agree that it would be weird to have playable Borg ships, would it be that weirder than having playable Vonph's and Nicors? Or ships from alternate timelines?

    I guess not, but as Picard once said..

    The line must be drawn.. here! No further!

    Probes or spheres, maybe. But cubes are just too big to be practical player ships.

    Just like we don't get playable Voth Citadels even though we have other Voth ships.

    id definately play the borg but i would also like an xpac focusing more on other faction like legacy of romulus did id love to play undine/voth/hirogen and have more non starfleet involved stuff yes i know the federation is the big faction but id love to have playable alien species and see thier stories and viewpoints like lor xpac did it doesnt always have to be about the federation.

    While we are at it . . . I think playing as a member of the Q Continuum is a reasonable request.

    Hmm...playable borg cubes. With so many of them parked outside of ESD we could have ourselves a game of Tetris.

    You mean: "We think playing as member of the Q Continuum is a reasonable request."

    Remember, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, so if you can't boast speaking for us all, you already lost against the OP.

    New Borg story with the Borg beign a renwed threat? Yes pelase.

    Playable borg ships? no.
  • echattyechatty Member Posts: 5,918 Arc User
    No. No playable cubes. Probes...maybe. Spheres....big maybe.

    Cubes are just....no....

    I have a LibBorg and he definitely does NOT want to fly anything remotely resembling a Borg ship.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.

  • seriousxenoseriousxeno Member Posts: 473 Arc User
    If Borg ships become playable, expect the following barrage of repetitive threads:

    - How do I fly these things!?

    - Why can't I bank in these?

    - Where the heck is my front and aft?

    - I can't tell where I'm going!

    - Stuck on map geometry, help!

    - Stuck in ESD starship traffic, can't move!

    - Warped into map geometry!

    - I can't see what I'm shooting / My ship covers half my screen!

    - Some dude in a Borg ship just shunted my fleet out of the way when he warped in!



    That and a whole slew of others I'm sure.

    What do I want? A Borg NPC revamp, they are way overdue. Borg ships need to be re-classified so that cubes in particular become tougher. How is a Keldon or Negh'var at the same rank as a cube? Move the cube up to dreadnought level (where the tac cube is right now) and re-classify the tac cube to the same level as the Crystalline Entity.
