Well, i have been playing the game since it was released. I played it daily before the patch, and now after the patch. In one on ones I win 99 out of 100, that is of course provided they are not flying BORG. I can kill players of every shape size and skill level. I fly feds, klings and roms. I refuse to fly any borgs, because if i did my opponents wouldn't even have a chance.
Borg ships are still way too tough, powerful, fast, for thier class sizes. The base value is way too low.I see sphere primes players in dynaverse before I am in a Vorcha, or Galaxy(i have more points than they do). A good player flying a Borg ship can defeat 2 of any other race if he plays it right flying in the same class ships. Plz, plz, plz reduce the borg or up the points on the ships. It is bad enough they have Cubes, but when black-n-blue balls squash Sov's and Warbirds with ease, it is too much. In Gamespy most players wont even let Borgs fight in thier rooms, if it is not addressed, Borgs will have to be banned from dynaverse servers to keep the game balanced.
I have watched, as maps with dozens of Klingons and Roms, and masses of feds are slowly and methodically taken over by a handful of Borg players.
Thank you for the fleeting change rule. Seeing a Pyramid with a cube wingman was ridiculous.
Here are some suggestions to fix the Borg imbalance.
1) Up the base points for Spheres and Sphere primes.(so they have less points to out fit them with thus taking longer to get in a fully loaded ship)
2) Lower the autorepair rate. I fought a rather good Borg player in a DN with a weak wingman and I had a fully loaded SOV with a Warbird wingman(human) and he defeated us(both good players) simply because he could fly around the map and repair his hull while we chased him.
3) Increase the mass of the Borg engines, or decrease thier power output.
4) decrease Borg armor 5%, or let us know when we are doing something to it(increase visual damage to hull)
5) Ii have noticed several times, crewmen on Borg ships all increasing in a given skill, i.e. Medical officer increasing in pilioting skills, or Tactical increasing Scanner technolgy) this makes sense seeing how Borgs all have a collective knowledge, but if that is the case, then slow down the borg rate of crew improvement from other races. Otherwise,
the Borg players can trade off crew for more Points and use it to get in better ships faster.( if this is a bug, plz fix it)
6)Increase the point cost for weapons , etc.. thus slowing down or making a Borg ship more costly than thier counterparts.
7)further decrease the rate of decay for Borg primary weapons.
8)Up the range of Klingon primaries by 10% since they have no long range heavy weapons except the polaron
9) Cloaks are still too easy to detect, suggest reducing means of detection accross the board. Especially in fleet actions.
The other races are fairly balanced, Klingons still seem a bit weak, but the Ion cannon was a much needed improvement. but the Borg still need work. ThX Hope you read this.
