Preview: New Borg Features

posted on April 28th, 2009, 12:49 am

but keeping an open mind. the changes look good now, and it would be very very premature for anyone to say anything further, without knowing the complete picture.. not to mention rude..

Don't take my line of questioning as rude.  I'm not downplaying it.  I just want to know if my assumption is correct.  If it is, when the patch comes the players, I'm sure, will give feed back on whether or not we feel its balanced enough.

I'm betting anywhere from a few weeks, to over a month 
It'll be worth it Ray, like I've said before, it seems to be a huge one with a bunch of eye-candy and sweet new features... so give the Devs a chance to work their magic

Wow Ray, you should have been here as long as I have been (2004), the waits between versions were years in the making.

yeah dom i know, im just eager to find out what the whole fed redo will be, just to see whats happening with them, and if some of that stuff isnt in 3.6 then the soonest we might see it could be after may, if its in 3.7

i just cant wait for version 4.0

I'm betting the 4.0 doesnt come out for a while...

i think ray ment 3.0.6, 3.0.7, and 3.1.0 respectively... which reminds me: i think the devs made it x.x.x as opposed to x.xx so they could string us along with 3.0 as long as they wanted to before moving to 3.1.

Whoa, it looks so more "borgish" 

Nice doing, but i hope we don't have to rebuild the uplink after every single ship because of the build delay!

The Uplink is still destroyed after vessel construction. However the new build times have been balanced in into regular Borg gameplay, of course.

3.0.6 wont have the Federation redo as already stated in the forums. the 3.0.6 patch is the largest patch we made till now. The key features are implemented, but still require tuning and a lot of testing, but you wont have to wait as long as you had to wait for 3.0 ;D thats something i can promise. thanks for your patience

We will keep you updated

  Interesting. But still I don't get it: now the borg ships build slower then before. What's the trade off ? If my base were attack and lost a couple of ships, I could easily rebuild them very quick to replace the ones lost, but now I won't be able to do that. It would seem the borg is getting weaker. I'm surely missing something. But I trust you guys will balance things out. Keep up the good job.

the new resource is much more flexible the priority was, you can now actually build larger vessels earlier, for example in 2vs2 games. The costs for many borg ships droped too. we are currently thinking about some attribute increases for some modules, but thats not final yet

  Now that more like it. Usually, in MP games i never get past diamonds, at best. It wold be great to be able to build larger vessels sooner.

Seems to be good stuff as always.
