As the title says I really want a playable Borg ship to go with my Borg character. Don't even mind paying for it through the c store. Just think this is long overdue seen as the cooperative are in game.
So cryptic and pwe please please please give us some playable Borg ships.

Not C-store, but in the lock box you can find various Tal Shiar ships which might tickle your fancy as a borg player.

1.) NO!
2.) It's funny you think something that potentially OP would be in the C-store.
Defending The Galaxy By Breaking One Starfleet Regulation After The Next.
How about a borg probe.
Should be about the strength of an Intrepid class vessel.

R.O.P.S.? I don't think they exist.
We come in peace, SHOOT TO KILL!
We couldn't imagine getting our hands on undine ships either and see what happened.
Ps. Cryptic if you see this, thank me later when the money comes flowing in
I know from experience as in Star Trek Legacy you can fly a cube in Skirmish mode, and I EASILY lost track of which way I was even facing!
IF, and I do stress the word if, we ever do get a playable one, it will either be a Probe, which is easier to tell which way your going, or the Type 3 which is the Descent ship.
First you need to buy the "regular" LTS. That unlocks the option to buy the "Uber" LTS package for an additional $600 that unlocks a Borg Probe which is the only perk for the Uber LTS.
Maybe a T5 Sphere similar to the mirror ships of old but just as rare if not rarer than the actual big ship in the lockbox and never goes to infinity.
Inconceivable!
Or Herald ships.
Somehow I fail to see why everyone here is so opposed to playable Borg craft. At least it makes sense for a liberated Borg to be able to control and fly one.
Undine or Herald ships on the other hand...
Further, the most iconic Borg ship is huge. Bigger even than the Vonph and I consider that borderline unflyable. The only other similarly sized and potentially statted ship is the Herald Iaiodon and that's not player flyable last I checked. Sure, the Cooperative ship could be seen as playable but you can be sure that give this to players they will invariably demand the rest of the Borg fleet. Better to not even start than to have to fight precedent.
you can make a small vessel type with 3 fused weapons: 1 360 torpedo and 1 360 beam array and 1 360 cutting beam. so 3 weapons but the cutting beam isnt effect by beam abilities. Give it a built in borg tactor beam and make it a T1 ship. T1 ships have 3 weapons right?
All good points but what I was actually referring to, was the level and kind of technology.
Borg technology isn't all that alien to us anymore, and certainly not to a liberated Borg. Undine and Herald technology are supposed to be either incompatible or at the very least very difficult for us to control because it's all living matter, or beyond anything we understand in the case of the Heralds.
I find it sillier to have such (and perhaps also for example Voth) ships as playable ships than a Borg Cube, or a Sphere or Probe.
Size is an issue. 10,000 drones are required to crew a cube, so that alone puts it off the table, but a Sphere is about the size of a Galaxy, the Octohedron appears to be a sphere with some struts, so about the size of a Scimitar. Probes and scout vessels are the size of BoPs.
What I propose is the ability to purchase three T6 Borg vessels, obtainable only via LTS, and only to Liberated Borg captains:
Probe Tactical Raider
Sphere Engineering Destroyer
Octohedron Science Vessel
