Re: Borg assimilation racial technology
Thank's again for your comments. Suicide_junkie, boarding parties are at present just not attractive/effective IMO. First you usually get only a severely damaged ship. Second if the enemy has the self destructing device, they are completely useless or will even lead to the loss of your attacking ships.
In fact even in my modification the biggest problem the Borg get in the later game are the huge number of foreign old ships, which slow down the fleets, and if they contain components, that the Borg don't know, cannot be repaired. It's really fun to see these fleets, which have ships of all other races, but it is actually not too good for the strategic performance of the Borg. I would be good if they scrapped the slowest/oldest ships from time to time.
Another thing I realized in the late game, which has most probably nothing to do with the modification, is the poor performance of the AI to multiple enemies. The Borg are at war with everybody and would have enough ships to lead several successful attacks on different locations, but they can't decide, where to go! So they got more defensive in the late game. I don't know if this can be changed or how, but I think it is a general problem of the AI.
But overall I am very satisfied with the performance of the assimilating Borg. They are very strong, but it is still possible to beat them.
