Borg assimilation racial technology

[Q]

I like the Borg race very much from its concept, so I had the idea of a special racial technology for them, which would give the following components:
- transwarp drive: up to 5 extra-movement points (as solar sails). Borg ships are very fast and it is usually not possible to run away from them.
- assimilation drone component: converts the crew of an enemy ship to Borg (ability of the allegience subverter). Very low range of 1 or 2 but reload of 5-10, so one Borg ship could convert more then one enemy ship in a battle.
- multi-phase regenerating shields: more shield points than standard phased shield, e.g. up to 500 shield points for the highest level, and regeneration ability of e.g. 25 points per turn for the highest level. Borg ships are very hard to damage!
- repair drone component: a repair component, but much smaller than the standard one (e.g. 50kT). Damaged Borg ship repair quickly and it is also important to have the possibility to repair the converted but damaged enemy ships.

As far as I can see everything should be possible with the available abilities, but I might be wrong and its certainly quite a lot of work.

Now my question: Do you think such a racial trait would be too strong and unbalance the game?
