    Except that you CAN play as a Borg character. Granted, only Human, Klingon, or Romulan for races(I'd have loved for the option to make an alien race one. Or perhaps open up the costume bits for LTS players, for alien race...), but you can play as one. ;)

    That feature has been in the game since launch, all Lifetime Subscription holders can play as a Liberated Borg.

    I think the OP means full-on Borg, still part of the Collective and everything. (Which would mean you'd be an NPC, not controlling your own character, but...)

    You can play as a Borg in the Borg Collective and you can assimilate your own crew? This has been a feature for a good long time.

    Go to a mission with borg drones. Walk up to a borg drone.. Stand next to it, eventually you will get a weird camera and you will get assimilated. You even earn an accoloade. Now you can no longer control your character, you get borg implants and the computer will move your character about.

    You will assimilate / kill your own away team. When all away team members are incapacitated you randomly respawn/die.

    So there. You played as a full out Borg.

    They could always spin it to be part of the Borg Cooperative. Fly about with Hugh and all that stuff....But it would be kinda hard to have straight up BORG as a playable race. Every mission would end the same.....tribble problem, assimilated the planet....dark level on Drozana station, assimilated the station.......stupid temporal agent keeps interrupting your down time with his timey wimey problems, assimilated daniels.

    just saying.....

    My romulan borg was playable earlier.

    Their away team doesnt have to worry too much as two, three, four and five are also all borg. I got the idea after one of the delta intel boffs turned out to be liberated.

    Actully that would be Sir Patrick Stewart, Kate Mulgrew or William Shatner voicing their characters. I'd also say Brent SPinar but he's been against playing data on camera due to age, not voice, so that would be a maybe but I won't hold my breathe to that.

    Ok, I haven't been playing this game long so didn't realize you can play as a drone. But thanks for the info.

    Welcome back then. My Borg toon was the second character I made back in 2012. The Hirogen Armor from Lobi store combined with some kit visuals give a realistic enough appearance if you like to give it a shot. :)

    The one thing that will never happen in STO? Like you being correct? There ARE playable Borg.

    One thing that will never happen is STO's lead Dev climbing into bed late at night with a pair of KDF Jammies on, KDF Duvet set and cuddling up with a Toby the Targ stuffed toy lol.

    Oh you meant in STO

    STO getting back to the populated level of pre-Delta Rising. Where the PvE Queues would pop for most missions.

    the Heggie, tork, and Voq all share one other feature-no Tier 5 C-store version exists. The heggie also lacks a Fleet version.

    simply put, the devs don't want to do it, so it's not going to happen.
    as if that's stopped them before.... no really, they've already made t6 versions of non-z-store ships. Or did you forget the existence of the Negh'tev?

    Actually, whilst I personally don't want to see playable Borg (collective) anything, the T6 (TOS) Constitution class proves we should never say never.

    How would you play as the Borg? It would be a autopilot as you watch...

    If even I can win it once you can too...trick is it has to be a lock box where you literally don't care about the ship...when I was opening the lock boxes only for lobi (or in this case it was the assimilated lock box and I wanted the console pack) I actually pulled a ship.

    Play as the queen. Assimulate npcs to gain "duty officers". Fly your own Borg Cube.

    Except all the Queen does is give orders...still pretty much zero action playing a Borg.
