Does anyone else want playable borg ships?

Is it at all possible, that we might see playable Borg ships at some point? Probes, Spheres, Cubes, Tactical Cubes, Borg Co-operative? Definitely seems like we should be able to, given that we have access to basically every other ship appearing in this game, and some that don't.

One possible solution would be to use half-assimilated ships (similar to the Tal Shiar adapted ships) for player characters, but the livestream pretty much left that question hang so I get the idea that they are not planning to do much with it for a while. On the other hand, they may be working on something like that as part of a Picard tie-in or something and do not want to spoiler the show or whatever, we never actually see the outside of that ship with the incredibly space-wasting bridge for instance, it could very well be some kind of Borg/Romulan hybrid or something and I seriously doubt a hero ship would be an ordinary geometric shape if it is.
Would not surprise me if my liberated Borg will fly one next time this year.

Rather than playable Borg ships, I'd much prefer the reverse; the Borg in storyline missions and patrols (not STF's) having assimilated versions of playable ships from quadrent-accurate factions (Delta Quadrent ships in DQ-based missions, ect.) with a full set of plasma weapons and all the stuff from the Omega rep with visuals active.

I'm like tyler-ships we already have using the assimilated tech from Omega rep, along with appropriate weapons.
I wouldn't want a cube or a sphere and a probe would be a distant maybe.

Straight up Borg Cubes/Spheres/Probes and the like, no. Those would make no sense.
Now, give us Borg Assimilated ships, perhaps variants of older ships and I could get behind that. An Adapted Steamrunner, Nova or Oberth could be fun. Adapted versions of the Vo'quv or some of the low level Orion ships would interest me. And with them being assimilated by the Borg, no more explanation needed as to why these "old ships" are now T6's. Just like the Liberated Borg races that LTS members get, these ships were liberated as well.
Or yes, even be tied into the Cooperative, the "friendly" Borg. Perhaps they update some ships for us to fight the renewed threat the Borg will pose in the near future.
But I've gotta agree with the majority here, no way would I want a playable, purely Borg, ship.

This is the lukari ship, right? lol
Never. Some enemies should remain NPC only. Borg Cubes would be nigh impossible to fly, as Dev's have already pointed out, especially trying to figure which way the ship is pointing and the fact the camera won't zoom out far enough.
But seriously, I would like to see some of the Borg ships for players. But with limitations. It can be that they were captured. However, the crew will have limited access to the ships full potential. And the skills can be weaker versions of what the Borg use.
But I can see a way it can be done. I think the only reason it isn't done it because they devs don't think they can make as much money off of them.
Razar.
There's several ships in-game without a discernible front or rear and some that are quite small. Impulse engine trails really help.
It's going to be a zoo around ESD with all the Borg Cubes looking for a parking spot.

Yes to adding this topic to the F.C.T.
I second the motion.
Besides... we already have the Assimilated set that can make ANY ship in the game look like it was taken by the Borg. We can even see a Kazon Raider get assimilated, and we know the Borg don't even consider the Kazon worth assimilating.
