The Borg

Hey just wondering are the borg still going to have normal shields and have you done any thing else to them, will they be updated in time for v3 or will it wait for v4?

Yep, the borg will get a major redo for v3 which will changes booth their graphical appearance and their gameplay.

About the shields: Most probably they won't have shields anymore, but that has not finally been decided yet. ^_^

If they don't have shields anymore, what will keep a squadron of enemy ships from just transporting over troops and capturing random borg ships and stations? Will the borg crew count be extremely high? Just wondering.

Well it prolly will be, but thats not the prob I see. AI does transport crew always when a ships shields are down, well not always but most of the time. Maybe if there was something on the borg ships that woldnt allow this to be done? -.-

perhaps borg ships wont be bordable, but that's not finally decided yet

Well, Borg drones are very resistant... so how about if a ship transports 5 crew to a Borg vessel, but 4 die off and the Borg crew count only drops by 1..

i think it's more about why the ai keeps annoying us by beaming crew aboard every vessel having its shields down

that could be disabled what do you think?

Do they beam through enemy vessels if its shields are down? I didnt know..

I guess it all depends on the situation.. but in a normal firefight... I guess one would not put his shields down just to board another vessel...being vulnerable to fire..

there were shield effects in first contect for the starfleet ships not for the borg those. From what I understood they do have shields but they are different for the other races.
Its good to here that they are getting a update have any ships been redid that you could show us.

to counter the fact the ai will board unshielded ships, you could increase the borg crew's strength.

@ Doca, i thought the borg transported on the enterprise after the battle, when they came out of the temporal wake.
