The cube that's in the front of the group relative to the groups velocity is the lead cube. Please note that the Mountshining came from behind this group of cubes, so it was targeting the cube furthest from it.
Example: In a pack of race cars, the car at the front of the pack is the lead car. The car doesn't have to be leading the race though, it just has to be at the front of the said pack.

Here I think "lead" simply refers to the fore most cube. But just because they are a collective doesn't mean they don't use tactical patterns.

Well, it's just that he did it many times, and it seemed the most aparent. I was just setting him straight.

Yeah, I've just been replaying them recently and felt like doing some universe mashing.

your "setting him straight" seemed hostile to me, he was off topic in a thread you are an active poster in, which i can see would annoy you. but going after him for his dyslexia is just wrong. you can correct every typo he makes, he is unable to stop making them.

Well, half of that statement was directed at his on topic but off topic post. I'm sorry if I seemed hostile.

=== T.S.S. Venture - Stardate 2404/039 - Secure Channel to Tereanan Command ===
This is the TSS Venture, we've been listening in on Trakan communications. They intend on replicating the stolen chroniton torpedoes to use them against the Tereanan Empire and anyone else who doesn't cooperate with them. Their fleet will be using our own weapons against us.
Also, we've tracked a vessel with an energy signature identical to the one that told the Mountshining why it attacked a Federation outpost. It is armed with the Omega torpedo and we were barely able to escape it, even with subspace cloak. I was able to find out what this alien species calls themselves. They call themselves "Zaggepians." I must say, it doesn't look like cloak will work with these people. By the way, they also use Omega as a power source.
=== Tereanan Command to TSS Venture ===
Acknowladged. We're sending a report of your findings to the Tereanan blockade and to Federation Starfleet Command. The fact that even our most advanced cloak may not work with these people puts us at a slight disadvantage. The blockade will remain on the border of the Neutral Zone, Federation space, and Tereanan space should these Zaggepians decide to do another "weapons test."
Scout-out Trakan space more and find out where these chroniton torpedoes are being manufactured. A fleet will be sent there to destroy the facility that is making the torpedoes. Hopefully, we can bring the number of chroniton torpedoes used against us to a minimum.
=== Tereanan Command to Federation Starfleet Command and Tereanan Blockade on Secure Channel ===
The ship that the Mountshining encountered that said it was doing a weapons test belongs to an alien race known as the "Zaggepians." As far as we can tell, most, if not all of there ships are at least powered by the Omega molecule. And it's safe to assume that they also use Omega-based weaponry on a good portion of their fleet. Considering that both ships encountered that were Zaggepian had Omega as a power source and as a weapon.
According to the reports of the Mountshining, these Zaggepian ships match the firepower and shield strength of a Mountshining III Class starship. So be careful when you engage them.
The Trakans have obtained Tereanan chroniton torpedoes and are replicating them for use against the Tereanan Empire, and possibly, the Federation. The TSS Venture, and Explorer Class scout, is attempting to locate the Trakan facility producing the torpedoes. Upon finding it, a fleet will be dispatched to destroy the facility.
Also, our sensor net has picked up more Borg vessels on their way to the coordinates of Starbase 3165. ETA is 1 week and 3 hours. It is recommended that you charge the shields with anti-graviton particles to counter the Borg graviton torpedoes. The anti-graviton particles may or may not have an effect on non-graviton-based weaponry.
=== Channel to Federation Starfleet Command Closed - Channel is now only opened to the Tereanan Blockade ===
Cargo ships are being dispatched to your locations with special containers that can contain and neutralize the Omega molecules. These containers are equipped with enhanced scanners to enable you to lock onto the Omega molecules when a torpedo has been fired. These cargo vessels are under heavy escort and should arrive within the next few hours. They are each using a joint transwarp conduit with the escorts to arrive at their destinations sooner. Once the cargo ships arrived, the flagship of each fleet in the blockade is to beam the containers onto their ships and the cargo vessels will immediately leave the area.

*****Captain's Log: Stardate 98953.4 - Adm. Petri - U.S.S. Hime*****
Scans of this strange facility continue, although slowly. There is still of evidence of Omega.
********
(Conference room. Senior officers present)
Captain: What is the progress of the scans, I've been informed by Starfleet that we could have a fleet of Borg on our ass soon, I'd rather not draw attention to this place by being here.
Chief Engineer: We've been able to get scans of the interior by narrowing the scanning beam, but that has slowed the scans significantly. So far we've determined that there is a certain amount of radial symmetry to the structure, but there are enough halls and passages to make scans difficult.
Ops: We have also been able to locate several facilities including a control room and what we believe to be a central computer. Spectroscopic analysis suggests that the structure is several hundred thousand years old.
Captain: Cortana, your people found something like this, right?
First Officer: Yes, but this one is much different. There are too many structural differences. I don't think they're related.
Captain: And there's still no evidence of Omega?*
Chief Eng.: No.
Captain: Alright. As much as I want to, let's leave turning this place inside-out to a science team. Finish up with cursory scans and lets move on.
Red Alert sounds. Omega protocol triggered.
Comm: All senior officers to the bridge.
Chief Eng.: Guess I spoke too soon.[/u]
Enter bridge
Captain: All non-essential personal will vacate the bridge immediately. Stand down red alert. What do we have?
Ops: It appears that it is not actually an Omega molecule, only trace residuals. I believe this station was powered by Omega, but it has since been removed or perhaps depleted. Although it's theoretically impossible to deplete an Omega power source.
First Officer: Is there any way to tell how long Omega has been gone.
Ops: Not precisely, but based on the strength of the traces, I'd say several hundred years.
Captain: So no way to know if the Zaggepians are the ones who took it.
Ops: No, sir.
Captain: Have we identified the source of the power emissions we've been detecting all along?
Ops: Partially. We believe they're coming from smaller fusion reactors supplying power to subsystems. However, without a more detailed inspection we won't know for sure.
Captain: Alright, finish up the scans; quickly. I'll keep the Omega protocol active until we've complete the scans. Also, get me a secure channel to Starfleet. Exits to ready room
*****U.S.S. Hime to Starfleet Command - Secure Channel*****
Petri: Admral.
Adm. Transon: Status update?
Petri: Yep. We're almost done here. I'd recommend sending two or three science vessels to go over this place with a fine tooth comb. We also came across residual traces of Omega molecules. Although we can't be certain, my people think they've been missing for a couple hundred years. We have no way of knowing if these Zaggepians were involved.
Transon: Very well. I'll send Captains Romanov and Atoch. I'd like you to hold position until they arrive. We've got two very dangerous species somewhere out there and a fleet of Borg coming, I don't want to risk something like this falling into their hands. I'll send them immediately, should arrive within eight hours.
Petri: Alright. We'll continue our scans then. Petri out.
******End Transmission - Channel Closed********
* - In 2389 Starfleet revised the Omega protocol in light of the experience of the U.S.S. Voyager. Although still classified, the captain may, at his discretion, read in part or all of his senior staff on the details of the Omega molecule.

=== Tereanan 12th Fleet - Stardate 2404/041 - To Tereanan Command ===
The Venture has located the Trakan facility producing the chroniton torpedoes 8 hours ago. 7 hours later, we arrived at the facility and ended up engaging a large fleet of ships. 3 singularity torpedoes were used by the 12th fleet to reduce the number of enemy ships. Afterwards, another singularity torpedo was fired and this one hit the facility and destroyed it and took a few more Trakan ships out with it. Our goal has been accomplished, but several ships in the 12th fleet sustained damage to the Neutronium Armor Plating as a result of being hit by chroniton torpedoes. The Trakan fleet decloaked right onto of us an immediately opened fire. We were not able to charge the shields with anti-chroniton particles during the battle. We have since cloaked and are returning to the shipyards in sector 6821 for repairs.

=== TSS Mountshining - Channel Opened to Romulan Warbird ===
Warbird - So, the Tereanans are planning on attacking the Romulan Empire.
Mountshining - No, we're not.
Warbird - Fleets along the border of the neutral zone raise suspicions. Why would the Tereanans have so many ships along the neutral zone border if they were not planning an attack?
Mountshining - If we were really setting up an attack against the Romulan Empire, you would have already sustained heavy casualties. And we would be looking for cloaked ships, which we are not doing. We're waiting for the Zaggepians to try to use their superweapon on something so we can catch them red handed.
Warbird - So you've set up a trap!? Does this have anything to do with the Omega traces we found in the area where we lost the warbirds?
Mountshining - Yes it is a trap. And it has everything to do with that incident. The fact that Omega was used as a weapon is the whole reason that we've set this trap up.
Warbird - We'll be keeping an eye on you.
=== Channel Closed ===
Tactical - The warbird is headed back to the other side of the neutral zone and is cloaking. Should I try to track them?
Captain - No! Let them go. We've already got the Romulans on edge enough just by having this blockade here. Let's not do anything that might provoke them.

=== TSS Mountshining - Stardate 2404/049 ===
Operations - Captain, long-range sensors are picking up some energy signatures coming this way. ETA, 5 days and 8 hours.
Captain - Can you identify the energy signatures?
Operations - Probably, I'll need more power to do so.
Tactical - I am rerouting power to the sensors, now try.
Operations - I'm picking up two distinct energy signatures. Borg, Zaggepian.
Captain - Can you determine if the Borg have any anti-neutronium warheads?
Operations - Not at this distance, but they probably do on at least one vessel.
First Officer - Any sign that the Borg and Zaggepians have detected each other?
Operations - No yet sir. If the Borg had detected the Zaggepians, the Borg would have been all over them by now. The Zaggepian fleet has changed course and is heading for one of our outposts along the our border.
Tactical - They've been detected by the Borg. The Borg are moving to intercept.
Captain - Can you get a clear reading of the armaments of the two fleets?
Tactical - The Borg are not equipped with anti-neutronium torpedoes. The Zaggepian vessels are all armed with at least 1 Omega torpedo.
Comm - Sir, if the Borg win that battle, we could have a huge problem on our hands.
Tactical - If the Zaggepian vessels loose their omega containment field, we could have a problem on our hands anyways.
Operations - Sir, we're receiving a transmission from Tereanan Command, they're ordering us, and 12 other vessels to engage the Borg.
Captain - Notify Tereanan Command that we have received their orders and are going to engage the Borg. RED ALERT! Shields to maximum and stand by all weapons! Lutenent, charge the shields with anti-graviton particles. Prepair to initiate the plans to neutralize the Omega molecules. Helm, set a course to the battle coordinates, maximum warp, engage!
The Mountshining arrives at the scene of the battle!
Comm - We are being hailed!
First Officer - On screen.
=== Channel Opened ===
Zaggepian Vessel - You will withdraw from this battle immediately or we'll open fire.
Mountshining - We're not here to negotiate, we're here to engage the Borg.
=== Begin Borg Channel Hack ===
Borg Vessel - We are the Borg. You will surrender Molecule 010 and be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Mountshining - If you keep sending vessels here to obtain the molecule, you'll give the Tereanan Empire the means necessary to with this war. I suggest you withdraw.
Borg Vessel - War is irrelevant. You will be assimilated.
Mountshining - You said that last time and were nearly destroyed. Are you really willing to risk another disaster similar to that one?
Borg Vessel - History is irrelevant. Disasters are irrelevant. You will be assimilated.
Mountshining - And next time we meet, we may be negotiating terms for your surrender.
Borg Vessel - Negotiation is irrelevant. A surrender will not occur. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
Mountshining - Mute audio.
=== Audio Muted ===
Captain - Send a high-yield antimatter surge through the opened channel.
Tactical - Aye, Captain
One of the Borg vessels is disconnected from the collective and takes on moderate damage and the Zaggepian flagship is disabled from the antimatter surge.
=== Communications Link to both Vessels has bee severed ===
Tactical - That vessel's link to the collective is severed. The Zaggepian ship we were talking to has been disabled
Captain - Beam the Omega molecules on that ship into the Omega neutralization chamber. Target the disconnected cube with the gama disruptor, maximum yield.
Operations - Got it, the molecules are in the neutralization chamber.
Tactical - The gama disruptor has destroyed all organic matter onboard the disconnected cube.
.
.
.
The Zaggepian ships are attempting to withdraw, one of them is loading their rear torpedo launcher with what appears to be an Omega torpedo.
Captain - A singularity torpedo detonation aught to dampen the effects of the Omega molecule. Target the ship loading the torpedo and fire, full spread.
Tactical - Firing. We have just depleted our supply of singularity torpedoes.
.
.
.
One target Zaggepian ship has been destroyed, the others have taken heavy damage to the shields, they are turning around for another assault run.
Captain - Full spread chroniton torpedoes. Target the lead ship and fire.
Tactical - The lead ship has been disabled, it's Omega containment fields are destabilizing. The remaining vessels are retreating.
First Officer - Beam the Omega molecules to the neutralization chamber.
Operations - The Zaggepians got to it first. I can't get a lock.
Captain - How many Borg ships are left in the battle?
Tactical - There are 4 cubes still in battle. 8 cubes seem to have disappeared through the interference caused by the battle.
Captain - Any damage to subspace?
Operations - Warp drive effectiveness within 0.7 light-years of here has dropped 24% as a result of the interference, but there is no detectable damage to subspace.
Captain - Any report on the effectiveness of the anti-graviton particles?
Comm - The ships engaged with the Borg reports a 98% drop in the effectiveness of the graviton torpedoes. Other weapons effectiveness fluctuates between a 10% increase and a 25% drop.
Captain - Engage the remaining cubes and destroy them, then tractor the derelict cube to the nearest Tereanan starbase.
The battle goes on for about 3 more hours before the remaining cubes are destroyed. But the 8 missing cubes never reappear on sensors during the battle or even after the battle.
=== TSS Mountshining to Tereanan Command ===
Mountshining - We have driven off the Zaggepians during the battle and have destroyed 4 of the 13 vessels that were in the battle. A fifth cube was hit by our gama disruptor and is being towed to Starbase 916. The other 8 have eluded us.
The Zaggepians started to retreat as they were loading their Omega torpedo, which tells us that they intended on surviving during the battle. Damage to subspace during the battle is currently undetectable, but it seems to be minimal. We are in the process of neutralizing the molecules. The Zaggepians lost a total of 2 ships during the battle. One was destroyed by a volley of Singularity torpedoes and the other was disabled by several volleys of chroniton torpedoes and later self-destructed.
Also, we've depleted our supply of singularity torpedoes and we're a bit short on chroniton torpedoes. We'll need to be re-supplied when we dock. And the anti-graviton charged shields seem to work well against graviton torpedoes with a slightly variable effect on the effectiveness of other weapon types.
Tereanan Command - We understand. The Zaggepians seem willing to use these Omega torpedoes every time they engage an enemy, which means that they must be stopped before they can do any more damage.
The captured cube is going to provide us with tactical information in our efforts for defeating the Borg. The new on the effectiveness of the anti-graviton charged shields is excellent news. We'll be transmitting this information to the Federation. We will begin refitting the cube immediately with Tereanan technology.
We're transmitting the results of the battle to the Tereanan blockade and to the Federation. As well as the Zaggepian's willingness to use their Omega torpedoes in just about any situation.

Tactical - That vessel's link to the collective is severed. The Zaggepian ship we were talking to has been disabled
Captain - Beam the Omega molecules on that ship into the Omega neutralization chamber. Target the disconnected cube with the gama disruptor, maximum yield.
Operations - Got it, the molecules are in the neutralization chamber.
Tactical - The gama disruptor has destroyed all organic matter onboard the disconnected cube.

The Zaggepian ships are attempting to withdraw, one of them is loading their rear torpedo launcher with what appears to be an Omega torpedo.
Captain - A singularity torpedo detonation aught to dampen the effects of the Omega molecule. Target the ship loading the torpedo and fire, full spread.
Tactical - Firing. We have just depleted our supply of singularity torpedoes.
.

One target Zaggepian ship has been destroyed, the others have taken heavy damage to the shields, they are turning around for another assault run.
Captain - Full spread chroniton torpedoes. Target the lead ship and fire.
Tactical - The lead ship has been disabled, it's Omega containment fields are destabilizing. The remaining vessels are retreating.
First Officer - Beam the Omega molecules to the neutralization chamber.
Operations - The Zaggepians got to it first. I can't get a lock.
Captain - How many Borg ships are left in the battle?
Tactical - There are 4 cubes still in battle. 8 cubes seem to have disappeared through the interference caused by the battle.
Captain - Any damage to subspace?
Operations - Warp drive effectiveness within 0.7 light-years of here has dropped 24% as a result of the interference, but there is no detectable damage to subspace.
Captain - Any report on the effectiveness of the anti-graviton particles?
Comm - The ships engaged with the Borg reports a 98% drop in the effectiveness of the graviton torpedoes. Other weapons effectiveness fluctuates between a 10% increase and a 25% drop.
Captain - Engage the remaining cubes and destroy them, then tractor the derelict cube to the nearest Tereanan starbase.
The battle goes on for about 3 more hours before the remaining cubes are destroyed. But the 8 missing cubes never reappear on sensors during the battle or even after the battle.
=== TSS Mountshining to Tereanan Command ===
Mountshining - We have driven off the Zaggepians during the battle and have destroyed 4 of the 13 vessels that were in the battle. A fifth cube was hit by our gama disruptor and is being towed to Starbase 916. The other 8 have eluded us.
The Zaggepians started to retreat as they were loading their Omega torpedo, which tells us that they intended on surviving during the battle. Damage to subspace during the battle is currently undetectable, but it seems to be minimal. We are in the process of neutralizing the molecules. The Zaggepians lost a total of 2 ships during the battle. One was destroyed by a volley of Singularity torpedoes and the other was disabled by several volleys of chroniton torpedoes and later self-destructed.
Also, we've depleted our supply of singularity torpedoes and we're a bit short on chroniton torpedoes. We'll need to be re-supplied when we dock. And the anti-graviton charged shields seem to work well against graviton torpedoes with a slightly variable effect on the effectiveness of other weapon types.
Tereanan Command - We understand. The Zaggepians seem willing to use these Omega torpedoes every time they engage an enemy, which means that they must be stopped before they can do any more damage.
The captured cube is going to provide us with tactical information in our efforts for defeating the Borg. The new on the effectiveness of the anti-graviton charged shields is excellent news. We'll be transmitting this information to the Federation. We will begin refitting the cube immediately with Tereanan technology.
We're transmitting the results of the battle to the Tereanan blockade and to the Federation. As well as the Zaggepian's willingness to use their Omega torpedoes in just about any situation.

By the way, can this be implemented into Fleet Operations? A ship charges it's shields with anti-graviton particles and receive significantly reduced damage from graviton torpedoes but more variable damage from other weapons?

Um, I don't mean to intrude but isn't using something like a singularity as a weapon even worse for space then omega. I'm just going with what I know of physics and isn't shooting a bunch of singularity torpedoes like creating a bunch of black holes?

its possible but it would make facing the borg as fed (atleast) to be overkill and impossible for the borg to win (the only decent beam fire ships are teh scout cube and sphere (i didnt count a big cube as its normaly fitted for max torp damage) and even then they dont do much in the way of damage (regen scubes do ok i suppose but vs intreps/e2s it would be impossible for the borg to win so i doubt it would be put ingame (even if it was a special weapon on certain ships plays just spam them ships and win no matter how slight the bonus vs the torps are) also if it cant be done as special weapon it would be a replace weapon which as we all know is a pain in the ass with auto targeting and manual target calling on ur ships as they basicly canncel the current attack and hit sommit else
so unless the devs can balance it perfectly and fix replace weapon bugs then i would have to say no chance atm
fallout ive been wondering that myself i suppose they could just be a name for different effect (like a phaser can be pulse and beam but still called a phaser) on the other hand could be making a micro blackhole for a second that doesnt make much of a dent in subspace

I'm going to cover that in a future post in this thread.
