Replicators mess with a Asgard Time Dilation machine to completely consume a planet in a second then launch fleets to numerous planets to do the same, then swarm the borg.
ship to ship combat consist of borg firing uselessly into replicator ships with the replicators spikes of themselves to fight the Borg in melee combat then break them down to make more replicators.
or they would just ignore them because the Borg are less advanced than them

So did they actually make the Borg cube from bits and sprues, 80s era ILM-style, or did they use CGI to make it look like bits & sprues?

Because the Borg don't give a fuck, and their technology was profoundly different than anything the Federation was used to. They didn't need a hull or to design their ships around any particular component.
Every time I think I'm finally growing up I remember I have many strong opinions on the portrayal of the Borg.
>>44401269
Depends which version of the Borg you're dealing with. "Best of Both Worlds" Borg? If you can't destroy it in one or two shots it's just going to shrug off any subsequent attacks.
Voyager Borg? Yeah, they're totally fucked.
>>44401388
If the guns don't work, I'm perfectly willing to go to ramming. And if ramming one ship doesn't work, I'll just tell 5 or 8.. Maybe 20 ships to ram that fucker to death. Losing 2 or 3 ships in the process is completely acceptable.

When talking about Borg Drones, their adaptation only works against energy weapons. Weapons without a frequency, such as knives or holodeck tommy gun bullets, are never adapted to.
A lance might be adapted to, same with a laser based macrocannon battery. A macrocannon battery with explosive shells, or just kinetic impactors, will work through just fine.
If the laser based weapons are on different frequencies, probably due to shoddy maintenance, some might get adapted to while others don't.
Imagine being in charge of the macrocannon in a battery where it is the only one the Borg adapted to after someone on the bridge notices.
So, depending on the armament of the ships involved, the Imperium ships might end up ramming the cube. Or they might just blow it up with their first barrage.
>>44399073
Dude. TNG was made before TV shows used CGI. That beast was modeled.
>>44402488
>Weapons without a frequency, such as knives or holodeck tommy gun bullets, are never adapted to.
We have zero data on that, actually. The holodeck bullets would have, in all likelihood, been adapted to, as Picard tried that once and only once.
>>44401466
Dude. The Great Race wouldn't fight the Borg, they'd just time travel past the date of their extinction. (Besides, if they did fight them, they'd get curbstomped.)
>>44402488
In one of the novels (yes, noncanon, blow me), the Federation had some nifty anti-Borg weapons. Sniper rifles fitted with microteleporters and hull penetrating sensor scopes. Spot Borg on the deck above you, pull trigger, round appears 1 cm from the target.
>>44402868
>teleporting rifle bullets
first off, way to much cheese
secondly, does the bullet shoot first then teleported? if so, how does it maintain momentum
>>44402868
>In one of the novels (yes, noncanon, blow me)
I'm assuming you mean this rifle:
http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/TR-116_rifle
Which did show up on DS9:
http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Field_of_Fire_(episode)
So the weapon is canon.
>>44402885
> if so, how does it maintain momentum
Surface <> orbit transporters have to adjust the momentum of those being transported to compensate for the difference in velocity between the ship and the ground.
>>44402828
Maybe the borg could adapt to holodeck bullets.
But First Contact also had Worf going at drones with knives. Do you really want to try and claim that First Contact was the first time someone tried fighting the Borg with a sharp edged weapon ?
Jokes on you, I'm american, i have no culture!

You do know that a borg cube can engage several tractor beams and stop your ramming ships dead in their tracks and proceed to launch plasma at you or cut you in half with a weapon your shields cannot deflect?
Being a borg is heresy
Heresy is punishable by death
>>44391881
Hey buddy, I think you've got the wrong door, the junk yard's two blocks down.
>>44401224
no need for aerodynamics in space
hell, it should probably more closely resemble the crystalline entity. no sense making a cube at all, just build what needs to be built where it needs to be built at to function optimally.
>>44401388
>he thinks the borg are going to be able to "adapt" to kinetic rounds larger than houses
>he thinks the borg are going to "adapt" to explosive warheads with yields in the gigatons
I've seen this argument on /tg/ and other forums so many times. It's always retarded
>>44401224
>Why is it a cube?
Better question: Why wasn't the Federation ship?
>>44404270
Energy shields are kind of retarded.
>>44391881
Something I never understood. If the Borg fancy themselves machines then why do their cubes have an arbitrary size limit? All the cubes are the same size, but the borg assimilate and improve constantly so why do the cubes stop? Wouldn't it be cooler if the cubes follow the computer ideal of an ever growing technological numerical mass themselves along with the borg because said fags keep adding to them?
If I were a borg I'd secretly pine for dyson-style mechanics for my unholy mechanical bullshit.
>>44401388
Borg have zero defense against kinetic weapons. Also, they can only adapt to weapons that work on a specific frequency like phasers.
Plasma, torpedos, and macrocannons don't give a fuck about Borg shields and will act like they don't even exist.

A cube is easily defensible though. It's true that since cubes are exclisively for space combat and rely on brute force (technologically) to solve problems other races solve with clever engineering.
However cubes are really optimized and adapted for space combat. Same with a sphere. And the borg diamond. Everything can be accessed fairly easily and in a fast way even with damage, and any point no matter how close to the ship can be shot at from at least two edges.
And if you look at pic related, you will notice that it's essentially a more advanced version of a classical star shaped fortress put into 3 dimensions.
>>44404311
The warp mechanics of the startrek universe are complicated and creating huge stable warp bubbles is a problem, especially if you don't follow any of the engineering norms to make the hull more "smooth" for the warp bubble generating nacelles.
And creating a transwarp gateway also requires massive amounts of energy. In other words this is apparently the optimal size solvable with planetary scale energies.
besides one large thing is less strategically sound than a billion smaller things that are still nigh impenetrable.
>>44404369
>besides one large thing is less strategically sound than a billion smaller things that are still nigh impenetrable.
Not if said large cube is so large that it creates a gravity well that fucks over anything even remotely near it. Like that TNG Dyson episode. Which, even if it couldn't travel fast, is something severely lacking in the actual Borg homespace seen in Voyager. They should have had entire planets able to move because they were assimilated.
>>44404393
>like that TNG Dyson episode. Which, even if it couldn't travel fast, is something severely lacking in the actual Borg homespace seen in Voyager. They should have had entire planets able to move because they were assimilated.
The problem in that episode was that the star wasn't visible and thus they didn't account for the gravity well of the STAR while travelling there. The dyson sphere doesn't do shit.
And the technology to move planetary masses around exists:it's iconian.like the dyson sphere from that TNG episodeWhich could instantly blink over to the delta quadrant
This technology is being actively coveted by multiple races, the voth and the undine, and starfleet has done everything to protect it.
The key component of it isomega molecules
Which are coincidentally what the borg worship and seek to gather for a large part of their existence.
>>44391881
Silly campers want to dance? The best campers are happy campers! Squirting nice colors. Not like those silly cows who can't party!
>>44404424
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't omega molecules in Star Trek lore literally the exact opposite of the make up of the current universe, and make any anti-matter explosion (which usually just blows up a starship) look like you set off a fire cracker when compared to the explosion it makes (which blows up multiple star systems for far less 'molecules' used)?
>>44404511
They blow up subspace, but somehow powerIconiantechnology becauseDEMONS OF AIR AND DARKNESS DON'T GIVE A FUCK
>>44404511
Yes.
Which is why starfleet has the omega directive that any such thing must be destroyed.and that dyson sphere the jenolan dyson sphere linked to is basically a huge omega molecule factory.

>>44403080
No, but they've probably been shot at with energy weapons before and you can still get one or two hits in. Seems likely that the Borg don't bother to keep all possible defenses active all the time. So they just wait and see what they're up against, and then activate whatever defenses they need for that particular fight.
>>44402835
Or they would let their scientists switch bodies whit the borg and build a perfect anti-borg weapon with the discovered data.
One hundred Years BEFORE their first physical contact with the collective, probably.
