Borg Fleet Analysis | Star Trek Ships

[@SpockBorg5]

Real problem with attacking the borg even with big fleets is that attackers keep making the same mistake over and over again. Instead of concentrating attacks and firepower on one spot in order to overwhelm borg systems, those fighting the borg keep making piecemeal attacks over the entire borg vessel.

[@RickySpanish12344]

Tactical Cube is one I'd like to have seen more of. To me they are more about destroying enemy threats than assimilating

[@kurtpittsenbargar6956]

In the Star Trek Armada games you could form 2 types of super cube. 8 regular cubes or 8 tactical cubes could be put together to essentially create an unbeatable ship. I remember my super tactical cube was practically impervious to attack. No fleet or base defenses could stop it.

Borg Fusion Cube

[@roberthenryscott8176]

Awesome video. My favorite is the Tactical Borg Cube

[@Mark-pr7ug]

Big tip for the next away team on a borg vessel. Wear a water tank on your back with a hose attached. Now saturate everything in range with pressurised water. That should short out a large portion of the interior in a matter of minutes.

[@mikeshriver4282]

anything to do with the Borg collective is worth an immediate thumbs up I love anything that has to do with the Borg so keep bringing it

[@mikeshriver4282]

What race is this new Borg Queen

[@denebrimmicombe-wood8252]

I will admit to some confusion. The Borg seem to have adaptive shielding, but would it be more accurate to say that they have a redundancy of generators and that when one gets beaten down they are capable of bringing a spare on-line and altering the output and direction to fill in holes made in made in the shields elsewhere in the cube. The number of crew and excess of equipment makes that easy. The instant communication means that the frequency the shields need to work on are more controllable. This is my conjecture.

[@larslaufer301]

IIRC its both for Borg. They can very quickly adapt their shields to work against any kind of attack as well as haveing lots of redundant systems as spares.

[@Skirne]

@@larslaufer301 Agreed. They rely upon both adaptation and redundancy.

0:50 This ship was discovered by the crew of the Enterprise-D in the TNG episode "I, Borg". It was specifically listed as cube shaped, 2.5 million metric tons, with a crew of 5.

[@robh316]

the 1st scout ship was discovered by the tng crew not voyager crew

[@the_flyattractor8656]

Fun Vid. Pretty sure you have talked about almost all my fav series. I will just wait for the next

[@JAGtheTrekkieGEMINI1701]

Just the usual scary Borg Cube for me

[@SkyraHope]

Epic video!👍 Borg are my all time favorite sci fyi species. Maybe as a suggestion for a video. The break down of the borg drones. If you do it like this video I think it would be longger😅 Keep up the great work!♥️

[@KruellNationGaming]

I thought the tactical cube was 8 normal cubes hooked together in a 2x2x2 pattern and the armor is layered over covering the seems.

[@marcomora4545]

[@Spino2Earth]

I thought you said they could assimilate plants 😅

[@gregkerr01]

Another great video

[@bradwolf07]

Well, the Borg have been fighting for at least 900 years; so it makes sense they would have adapted to various species pushing back. So they would need different types of vessels for different scenarios

[@jprice6419]

What would Spock and Kirk do if they had a Tactical Borg Cube to speed around the universe with? Hey Scotty slow down that's too much power.

[@umhumgum]

A few vessels missing. Star Trek Armada 2

[@jwilliams703]

In STO I prefer to fight Cubes over spheres. Spheres are slightly harder to kill and have more firepower it seems. The sphere is my fav though. I just hate fighting them lol.

[@keyboardt8276]

Spheres have a nasty tachyon beam that practically no shields in the game can withstand

[@montecorbit8280]

At 1:49 "Al-but-iv" hull armor It is pronounced "A-blate-iv" hull armor. Sorry, but that annoyed me so I had to stop and make a comment. No, back onto your video....I really do enjoy your videos!!

[@UtopianBroadcast1]

No problem. Thanks for the correction. 😀

[@denebrimmicombe-wood8252]

I have never understood the need for the Borg to destroy opponents ships. We have often seen them get boarding parties aboard and especially in the film First Contact they seemed to try and assimilate the ship to suit their purposes. Surely that method is more efficient and would cause less casualties among the drones. That plus the effect of increasing the number of ships whilst the invasion is going on would aid the battles.

[@toddkes5890]

Assimilating another ship might take too long, plus the Federation would have equipped its ships and crew with anti-Borg weaponry/equipment. So a Cube might send over drones to assimilate one ship, but once that ship is considered lost the Federation crew would attempt to escape the ship (transporters, escape pods, or small craft) and the rest of the fleet would open fire on the crippled ship to prevent the Borg from benefiting. But once the fleet is small enough, the Borg ship might be able to start assimilating the ships unless it has a more important mission. At least I would figure the Borg would use a pause in the battle to tractor or beam onboard damaged/destroyed ship pieces for raw materials. It won't do this during the battle as this would require lowering its shields and exposing its hull to enemy fire.

[@dylancummings5033]

The borg are hyper efficient, or lazy depending on how you look at it.. It's likely they calculate time loss per ship and often decide its better to just blow it up and crack on with their main objective. To assimilate entire species and cultures.

[@michaelwillis8966]

According to the books, and the Star Trek Armada games, Cubes can also unite together to form Borg Super-Cubes when 4 Cubes or Tactical Cubes merge together. They are basically invulnerable at that point. IIRC, they were doing this in one of the Post-Nemesis books when Admiral Janeway and Seven of Nine stopped them and destroyed them. Except, I think, they destroyed Pluto on their way to Earth before they were stopped. Like, BLEW THE PLANETOID UP destroyed. Would have been fun to have the Super-Cube mentioned.

you talking about the fusion cube?

@@michaelwillis8966 when i was playing armada 2 i heard the borg voice saying it

For a super-cube, it should be 8 smaller Cubes joining together, not 4. Apparently the writers forgot about the third dimension

[@keithrees4755]

@@toddkes5890 these smaller cubes would they be 2,000m in square diameter or the normal 3,000m?

[@descendinguniverse]

always thought Tactical Cube design is a bit lame, that armor covering the cube selectively looks weird

[@UtopianBroadcast1]

It does.

[@MagnanimousEntropy]

Yes, it does not seem like they put much imagination into the tactical cube design. They should have used the original Obelisk design from First Contact instead.

[@descendinguniverse]

​@@MagnanimousEntropy The weirdest thing in this armor for me is that it just looks like spaceship panels of random human vessel (not from Star Trek though), not like any sort of alien design

[@MagnanimousEntropy]

@@descendinguniverse I know what you mean. The armour makes me think of UNSC ships from Halo. Simple and boring.

[@RickySpanish12344]

Remember on First Contact? Picard had the ships lock weapons on a part of the Borg ship and Data stated that it didn't appear to be an important area? Picard replied "Trust me", and the Cube was destroyed. The armor on the Tactical Cube probably covers the vulnerable areas that don't appear to be vulnerabilities but are. Often times the Borg take damage until their shields adapt. The armor most likely helps them last longer in a fight against species that are more difficult to adapt to.

[@scottbraun2457]

It's, a-blay-tiv armor. You keep pronouncing it wrong. I still like the show though. Keep going.

Isn't the Borg an analogy of Comunism. Thete is always the talk of the collective and the way they want to expand wich is how the US saw communists. Also startrek was created at the hight of the cold war.
