@AnonEyeMouse5 жыл бұрын
To be fair, Voyager had the advantage of being small and nimble, with a science oriented ship. The element of surprise and prior knowledge of the Borg explains why they can go toe to toe with a cube or sphere. Also, once they have seven of nine, they have an impossibly potent advantage. I have no more of an issue with Voyager overcoming great odds than I do with the NX - 01 and the 1701 enterprises.
@Tazkar5 жыл бұрын
@@AnonEyeMouse The problem is it never felt like they were overcoming great odds. Whenever the few times the Enterprise-D tangled with the Borg it was peril from the outset, and they only stopped them at great cost. Voyager's small nimble status means little to a vessel that should be able to drain her shields and lock a tractor beam on halting her isntantly. Basically instead of the series getting tense when they got to borg space it felt the exact same as everywhere else Voyager went, winning handily in most cases. I wouldn't have issue with Voyager winning against the borg if the borg had been played up more as a very serious threat. Or Voyager running in silent running through Borg space the entire time tension building as they try to avoid attracting the attention of a Cube.

I agree. Borgs are maybe the most iconic original villains. After all, the Klingons (which were supposed to be USSR-like villains at first) are just that one big evil empire, and it was only quite late that they could have their own "lore", with more and more original elements brought with time to them (to the point that they became more like space Vikings/Japanese while the Romulans took their place as space USSR). Borg on the opposite were designed as an original villain and you can't confuse them with another franchise. They seem purely scifi-esque.

And several missions I liked are missing, not sure if they are truly gone or just very well hidden. I just made a fresh new character to play as it would be to hard to start back up from a higher one and refigure it out at the top. I have a liberated borg officer, which would make some of the dialogue a bit off in these episodes, but still workable. In his version of this story telling, he let the Romulan ship go, as he secretly embedded a program into their Borg systems to send out a very subtle tracer signal.

I see quite a few comments on wonder if Mark Hale is dead (of course we no he is not). However if I remember correctly the USS Armiger had quite a few warp-capable shuttles, and even a Roundabout. I would not be surprise if he used on of those for an escape as something that size would be unnoticed by the Borg. Plus there is also the fact that there are escape pods that are accessible on the bridge. As for how he could have enough time to escape; being a temporal agent he probably has limited access to the tech that saved him the first time just in case for a situation like this.

The easiest way for the Borg to assimilate new civilizations, is for them to try to implement Borg tech. The Romulans are basically assimilating themselves into the Borg collective. I would have taken the Romulan captain as a prisoner as soon I met him, and told the Romulans to flee from the Borg. If they refused to flee, I would beam everyone from their bridge, engineering, medical personal, and civilians onto my ship. Then I would destroy their ship, if they still refused to comply. They would be granted a second chance, if they agreed to flee after being beamed onto the Starfleet ship. In which case all willing Romulans would be beamed back to their ship. The Captain would remain a prisoner, as trying to implement Borg tech would violate galactic law. I assume some Romulans would prefer to join the Federation. Having Vulcans onboard, would encourage Romulans to declare amnesty.

The lore is the main thing this game has going for it. The stories are amazing and so much solid user-created content. The problem is the gameplay and microtransactions. The animations have always been chunky. The ship combat is solid, but the other combat is really bad.

Surprised you didn't do an impression of Kirk from Star Trek III at the end. Or are you saving that for next time? Also how did your character get off the Armiger before she was destroyed? I don't think it was mentioned in the episode... or I missed it somehow. I still don’t like that STO went with the idea that kinetics can bypass Borg shields when that doesn’t make sense in canon. Since otherwise why wouldn’t Starfleet, which has turned to old style kinetics before when phasers didn’t work as seen with the TR-116, not deploy them early given all of the samples of Borg tech they had examined after the events of Best of Both Worlds. Personally, I prefer what Star Trek: Away Team did (for the most part) where your options were grenades, phaser on overload, super high damage sniper rifle (best option in game, one I like the least for lore reasons), and a modified hypospray that basically dissolves neural tissue. There the way to bypass involves going for ways that deal an insane amount of damage or take advantage of the fact that the Borg don’t view melee range weapons as a threat (which they really aren’t most of the time).
