Borg question!

[daviboi83]

Not quite the usual "can i be assimitated and be a borg drone?" I know the answer to this.

I was wondering though, when falling to the borg in space battles, when i respawn and make it back to the battle, would i possibly see the ship i just lost but borgified?

Same goes on ground combat. Particularly with red shirts that form part of the landing party. If killed by the borg will i possibly see their character as a drone and have to help them ala Picard and ensign Lynch?

Thoughts....

PS so excited!!!!!!!!!

In a recent screenshot there was a borgified Federation ship attacking other Fed ships. So there might be something like your saying.

I personally don't think it would be so at least not at launch. But i also think it would be a very cool mission\effect to see in game.
May the holy almighty cryptic devs read this!!!:D

I'm gonna say no on this...

Because if you respawned in that same ship that just fell, how can you also see it "borgified" when you get back to the battle? o_O

would be cool to be borg hope they bring that in latr in the game or it is maybe a npc enemy to all which it is really

If they had borg as a playable faction, That would be awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They'd have to really nerf the borg to bring balance to game play if they did that, and we all know how well that went down the last time it happened.;)

I could see that being a part of missions or major battles involving the Borg.

I liked it in the Armada games. Would be cool to see here also.

[daviboi83]

I loved doing it in the Armada games too!

I just think it would be awesome if on a ground mission you recognised some of the drones as your crew. Maybe there is a fantastic instance that when you take down a borg ship a lone drone beams to your ship undetected and you can play out your own version of first contact and have to battle your own assimilated cew.

come on Cryptic! :)

The only problem with playing as part of the Borg collective is you would have no singular conscious or control. You would be part of a automated hive. That being said, you would have no control over your character. Should I point out what happened to Picard when he was assimilated? Would that really be fun to log on everyday and watch your drone being controlled by AI for hours?

Not to mention having to listen to millions of voices talking at the same time, as borg share a collective mind.

nah they wouldent need to "nerf" the borg, just provide viable counters to them. Borg armor is very strong against energy weapons due to its adaptability, however melee weapons have a tendency of shredding the big lumbering hulks.

[daviboi83]

No, i dont think you have read it right. I don't mean playing as the borg!

I mean fighting the borg but recognising your assimilated (pet) Bridge officers for example, or your unique design of ship having been assimilated for you to then fight once you respawn and rejoin the fight.

Just an idea!
