Collective Features

Tuesday, 03 June 2008 Written by 

Today we want to take a deeper look into the Borg's new game mechanics. As known from the shows the Borg don't invest much in research. Instead a Borg player can chose from a list of Collective Features to empower his or her vessels. Unlike normal research the Collective Features do not cost resources, but will consume credits. Therefore you can only chose a few of them and not all at the same time. Collective Features apply to more then one vessel, many of them are even activated on all Borg vessels once acquired. The effectiveness of a Collective Feature will usually scale with the chassis size.

But now to the complete list of the Collective Features included in Fleet Operations v3!
