Borg feedback for devs

I wanted to say I am having so much fun with the new Borg items. I have the armor and weapons from the lobi store, along with all the kit modules. Going to be a long time before I can get the ship.
Assimilating things in space and on the ground is something I never knew I needed. I wanted to let the devs know what a great job they did with this.
I am wondering one thing. I can assimilate a Borg ship, but I can't assimilate drones? We've seen drones being reassimilated into the collective or having a small collective created as in the Voyager episode "Survival Instinct".
I would really like the option to assimilate drones in ground missions; even if it's a compromise like only being able to assimilate the infected ones, instead of the full on drones.

If you get yourself the Kit Module - Universal - Assimilate you can trigger a DOT effect that will last for approx 20 sec. If a ground enemy dies with this DOT active, they will become a friendly ground combat pet for approx 2 min and then vanish.
It's really handy for characters like engineers and science toons that don't get access to the Security Escort ability.

I do have that module, but assimilate does not work on Borg drones. That was what I was asking them to change.

l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
The Jugg's console doesn't Assimilate, merely confusesdisables the enemies (sometimes weapons, which makes them follow you around briefly) So, you want the console directly from the lockbox instead of the one on that if you want to keep them for about 2 minutes, and they can't be attacked by allies.
It kinda got me thinking, its a shame there isnt a huge borg cube we can use to have as a social area for lib borg and friends. If we cant have a cube as a playable ship can we compremise with that? With vendors to buy borg frames/mods/the new armour from. Id personally love an alcove to regenerate in which logs you out. Consoles where you can craft a borg drone pet to follow you round (humanoid / animal), play mini games to 'assimilate' information to earn currency (like dabo) to get new borg costume unlocks and so on. The potential is endless!
I know there are concerns with it becoming a captains table where no one uses it, but to be fair I think its because no one actually knew what to do with it, at least with a liberated cube you have the above options and at least bring up to speed LTS liberated borg with players who got lobi, borg mods into their own social area. Id be happy to loose this area to get this.
Or even as your own social space, where you can customize it how you want? trophies, drones and collectables. Maybe even add a few Romulans?
to counter point, talaxians could have their own social area too some kind of floatilla or asteriod, every item of food in the game is there, tribbles, (why cant we craft food in this game?) I never understood that. Just because replicators exist didnt stop anyone cooking.
Anyway Borg,
Its been a while since we had a new reputation and Id love to see more borg tech in the game etc I think under the borg reputation the assimilated shield etc could move into it since I never understood why it was there (since why fight borg then go all out to look like them?) It deserves its own Rep so I hope a liberated borg reputation comes soon. Also LTS borg really need a texture update just looks so blocky and low res now compared to newer things. Now is the perfect time to bring it all up to date!
they already did it with events - if/when account reps come around, they'll do it there too

A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
one: the borg suite in lobi store is not applicable at BOF..is your decision or is only a bug and in future u correct this bug??
Two:it was so complicated, to make a BORG-style bridge for the Borg vessel? maybe you could put it in the lobi store or a little pack in the zen store..or or or ... why a trivial bridge, similar to those supplied to any other ship ??
thanks for answer
This is getting ridiculous.
1) There was a tweet that said that the Borg Suit is being fixed so that it can be used on BOffs.
2) The Borg do not use bridges. They connect directly to the ship and fly it collectively.
They did not use it, no. The Juggernaut also does not use the Adapted Consoles to make a Set, nor does it come with the Borg Warp Core.
A few suggestions:
1) I still want to be able to assimilate Borg drones
2) Please animate the lights on the Borg armor/costume like the arm attachment has. I put that in the suggestion forum too, but it never gets read
3) Make the assimilated ships scale in power based on what you assimilate. I noticed they all go to 37k armor, no matter what you assimilate; also please make them stay a couple kilometers away when following you.
4) I know the devs are making the Borg outfit unlockable for the boffs (thank you) Please also make the arm weapon available for them as well.

Seeing a Citadel dreadnought follow a player is just plain ridiculous.
Well there is also a full interior available from that one Romulan mission - and that wasn't used either on any of the assimilated/liberated ships.
The mere fact that interiors or rooms are available has never seemed to be much of an argument for them to tie those maps to ships in the past.
Shame the Liberated Borg didn't get this DOT by default! The racial one is not as a good as this!
Not sure what kind of mental gymnastics one would have to make to justify this kind of logic.
You go from being a drone, to being free and liberated, to then turn around and enslave and control others. So you fought to be free to become a new queen that enslaves others that also don't want to be enslaved?
Just makes no sense. If it was an issue for you to be enslaved so you were liberated why would you then voluntarily want to then enslave others to do your bidding which was originally to be free of being enslaved?
I would have to assume liberated borgs would utterly detest the power to assimilate to the point of revoltion and violence and justifiably so.

I mean i get the whole bullied becoming the bully part.
But would such a mentality work with a thing called a liberated borg? A sentient machine? That also works in a large community? It's not a hive but a community, and this idea alone sems like a rogue idea and would be hard extremely hard to hide from your brethren.
Would make a very strange cocktail party.
The very idea of assimilating itself is would seem antagonistic to the very core of a liberated borg. I mean can you be a liberated borg if you assimilate? Would a federation captain that stumbled upon such a situation consider the aggressor, the assimilator, liberated and not borg? I just don't see how they don't catch a phaser to the face.
I mean if i came across such a scenario I don't see how i wouldn't detain or destroy the liberated borg.
PS: Will we be getting a 10th Anniversary logo in your collection?
