Hi during the borg disconnected tfo does anyone find them selves from nowhere being completely overwhelmed by spheres?

> Not really. Sure there are plenty of borg ships to fight of varying strengths, but nothing overwhelming.
On my last play of the tfo i found myself against at least 10 borg spheres if not more even the voth and undine didn't last long against that number
> You were fighting an area by yourself? Now I can understand feeling overwhelmed then. I usually try to hit an area with at least one other. Makes things much easier.
Yes i was fighting on my own but in three years i don't remember having to deal with that many borg spheres until recently and on advanced difficulty its a very one sided fight if you can call it that i doubt whatever science ship with the most science consoles with mk xv gold drain resistance console pieces could last long against that number of borg spheres and like i said even the voth and undine got decimated by the borg
Help the Undine and especially the Voth with their special torps kill them.
That doesn't work of course during the first phase but if I'm not mistaken, no new spheres will appear before the previous ones have been destroyed.
So can there ever be more than five or so?
- Fighter spam. Make sure the enemy is targeting everything except you, to ensure you can free the Borg and avoid having to fight more ships
- Cloak your ship, for example by using consoles such as Hull image refractors (https://sto.gamepedia.com/Console_-_Universal_-_Hull_Image_Refractors), Repair drones which will also either add a lot of damage output or hull regeneration. Or use abilities such as Mask energy signature. This will only work for a few seconds of course or until the Repair drone station is destroyed, but it can help.
- Confuse the enemies and make sure they're fighting each other, like with Scramble sensors.
- Push them away with tractor beam repulsors.
- Hit them with (engine) draining abilities such as Tyken's rift and Target subsystem: Engines before they can get close to you and the ship you're trying to free.
Just a few ideas.

I wish that was the case next time it happens I'm going to get a screen shot
This is true indeed.
In that case though, it would make sense to go and help that player and combine efforts.
Sure, one of the spots may no longer be covered, but you can still play the mission.
