Borg faction, please?

The Borg are truly an underused resource in this game. I am thankful that there are at least a number of assimilated characters however, it's somewhat criminal that there isn't a Borg faction. There needs to be. Please make one...

  • There are definitely more Borg Crew now than Hirogen... and the Hirogen have been a faction since launch...

    I'd go along with that.

    We need more Borgs too. Since I've been playing after the Borg mega I actually don't have as many as older players.

    Very agree with borg and even with hirogen ideea.
  • There are definitely more Borg Crew now than Hirogen... and the Hirogen have been a faction since launch...

    I'm not against more Hirogen events. Not exactly my favorite species, but all for more of them for the people who want more. At least they have a faction. I just said that we need more Borg, and it's wrong that we don't have a Borg faction.
  • Since the Borg are an amalgamation of all different species, what if DB made it so that the Borg Faction just dropped an RNG of equipment from ALL of the other factions? ;)

    not sure if I like this idea or not. It would give the faction value and makes sense, but the likelihood of my desired faction item within the faction shuttles is so low already that I don't think it would used much beyond getting it max'ed out.

    The factions seem to be based on the conflicts in the Episodes. So most likely the reason that there is not a Borg faction is because they hadn't planned any storyline around ____ vs Borg like they did with the Dominion vs Hirogen etc.

    And the reason behind that is probably that the Borg are basically impossible to reason with and would just suggest assimilation as the solution to everything, like what @Jim Steele said. So a Unimatrix 0 faction would probably be the best option.

    I get all of the logical explanations as to why there isn't a Borg faction, but it's a game and most of us still want a Borg faction. Maybe we can just pretend that the Borg find it in their best interests to temporarily "play nice" with other species during the temporal crisis.

    No true what about the hugh and lore eposides could maybe play off that with good borg and old style borg, maybe a 3rd faction helping the changed borg

    Episode 9 - Fluidic Space Task Force

    With two new factions being Species 8472 and The Borg Collective battling for the upper hand, and we have to decide who will win (as usual in any episode). ^^

    I'd be quite excited to see this happen.

    I don't see why a Unimatrix Zero faction would not satisfy the desire for a Borg faction....

    I would accept that...as long as we get Borg, I'll stop complaining...
  • I didnt even read the first post orany others, i just saw the title and had to put in my vote right away...
    YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!

    Personally I'm much more in favor of a Xindi faction. Maybe we can have an event reconciling the two Ferengi factions to make room.

    I don't see much in a Borg faction as they are the enemy of everyone.

    I agree with you, the Borg should be a faction... I don’t really care one way or the other for more Hirogen events...

    Just pointing out that despite having so few crew and being a really minor part of the Trek-verse, the Hirogen have a faction... it’s a big oversight that the Borg do not...

    Despite the Borg being everyone’s enemy, we are able to command a Cube... and have the Borg Queen and various drones in our crew...

  • Borg, is one of the Factions that could be added, and maybe Suliban, ¿Kazon?, ¿Breen? 4 new factions would be really good! They could also mean 4 new missions' groups!

    Assimilate the two Ferengi factions into one and give us the Unimatrix Zero.

    Not that I am "opposed" to it, but DB doesn't actually have to fuse the Ferengi factions in order to give us more factions. Their system is obviously designed to simply add on more factions if they want, seeing as on occasion, a "ghost faction" appears in our factions section of the game. Most of us have seen it happen, maybe during a time where DB was in the process of doing some maintenance, etc...

    I'm not even sure how to respond to this. The Borg are awesome and the Borg characters are some of the most popular in this game. They are one of the coolest things that TNG produced, and a species of people is still a species of people, even if they want to assimilate everyone as part of their existence. Besides, they're already in the game. You probably have a Borg on your crew right now, and maybe have one of their ships. It's just ridiculous that they don't have a faction.
  • Instead of a Borg faction, there should be a Gamma Faction - races from that Quadrant banning together. Then all those quadrant crew might actually be useful for an event. Kazon, Talaxian, Ocampa, Vidiian, Hirogen, Malon, Voth, Caretaker, Borg, Species 8472, Tash . . .

    You mean Delta, Nils, right? Those are all Delta quadrant species. :)
