enigma 521 Posted December 19, 2011 Plasmas weapon in practice useless against the Borg also two not show piece of evidence that the Borg could assimilation some Tyranids. What proof is there that plasma weaponry is useless against the Borg? Where? Species 8472 is proof that a race utilizing organic based technology being able to resist assimilation. 'Nids have a more effective form of assimilation than the Borg. Borg don't assimilate corpses but the 'Nids can. The moment the 'Nids have access to the needed resources (which is practically anything) they can create more of themselves. The more they kill the Borg, the more of the 'Nids are created. You lose, again and get the hell out of this topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enigma 521 Posted January 2, 2012 Borg beam photon torpedoes weapon ships blow Tyranids to hell Wrong answer buttnuts. As atom said, Borg do not use photon torpedoes and there is no evidence that they use such tactics. Lack of point defense weaponry will severely hamper the Borg's ability to eliminate any ships carrying boarding parties. The Borg lose hard. Worse than the Federation since at least the Feds are creative and can think of new tactics on the fly. The Borg? They stick to one proven method and keep repeating ad infinitum until the last drone is devoured. You lose again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyralak 12,068 Posted January 2, 2012 Weren't plasma weapons suggested as an effective anti-Borg weapon? I don't think so. There are quite a few races who use plasma based weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the atom 0 Posted January 2, 2012 Come to think of it I do remember an episode where the Borg somehow adapted to energy weapons that were set to random frequencies (however the fuck that works...). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tyralak 12,068 Posted January 2, 2012 I also find it 'likely' that you are in fact a dog that has learned to use a keyboard. The sad part is that I'm pretty sure that my hypothesis holds more weight then yours. BTW, you just got Quote of the Week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Borg have been show the able chance tactic what fit interest when come assimilation other races. We never seen case were this tactic make much sense for Borg either. Fact Borg choose tactic batter rammed special 8472 ship choose to sneak aboard USS Enterprise E and choose to time travel as weapon UFP. Borg best of both world put something place stop transporting show they can chance tactics when fit interest. Plan assimilation Earth slowly another example changing tactics. Borg did not normal face race that beam photon torpedoes and us they do us weapon very much like photon torpedoes remember TNG Movie First Contact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigma 521 Posted January 3, 2012 Come to think of it I do remember an episode where the Borg somehow adapted to energy weapons that were set to random frequencies (however the fuck that works...). That is easy enough for the Borg to do so. All they need to do is say "Adapt lowest frequency encountered to the highest frequency encountered" and Ta-Da!! Multi frequency energy weapon adaptation. Sure they'll expend more energy in the adaptation but they'll live a little bit longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most if not all of those examples are the result of the Queen's direct involvement. Normal modus operandi does not necessarily apply. When the Borg attack without the Queen's direct involvement (other than pointing the way), they are in default mode. They stick to standard methods of assimilation. If you watched both parts of Scorpion, you'll noticed both the default mode and when the Queen got involved. In default mode, they acted pretty much like zombies and the drones kept trying to assimilate the bioship even though they constantly failed. With the Queen's involvement, you'll notice that after making the agreement with Voyager, the Borg acted in a unorthodox manner, i.e. sacrificing a Cube to save Voyager, or being duplicitous by using 7o'9 and her drones to take over Voyager after having their bacon saved. Since the Queen is not directly involved in this scenario (OP doesn't mention her), the Borg are stuck on their default mode. Borg still lose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
