Borg Type 1 Cube (Explorer)



Owner : Borg
Class : Battleship (Enormous Unit)
Availability : Limited Deployment
In Service : 2150
Out of Service : n/a
-------------------
Little is known about the back history of this
vessel. It is unique among Borg cubes, in the
aspect that this cube has phenominal regenerative
capabilities. The entire cube and it's subsystems
are designed to regenerate quickly when damaged,
making the cube very difficult to destroy. The Borg
use this type of cube mainly as an exploration vessel,
so it is not as powerful as other cubes, though still
quite formidable. This cube's secondary mission is to
collect, or assimilate if you will, various materials
vital to the ship and to Borg development.

This vessel is one of the few Borg ships that is truly
grown, starting out as a much smaller 400 meter wide
scout. As time passes and the ship gathers resources,
it grows until it reaches a size of approximately 3km.

Shielding and weaponry is average for a Borg ship, but
it's regenerative design negates the normal Borg cube
weakness of a weak warp core. This ship carries
anywhere from 2000 to 5000 drones, has typical Borg
cube characteristics such as high menuverability,
high sustained warp speed capability, and transwarp
drive. The pulse disruptors on this ship, like most
Borg vessels, has almost no recharge time...meaning the
weapons seem to have an infinite power supply.

-------------

Length : 3000m
Decks : N/A
Crew : 4700
Weight: 25.36 MMT's
Max Warp: 9.99

Weapons
12 x Heavy long range quick charge pulse disruptors,
2 each cube face
8 x Torpedo tubes, quickload, lateral edges (1 each)
15000 torpedoes

NOTE: This cube should have shielding equal to 6
capital ships, with a very high repair or regeneration
rate on all systems. This ship should not have a weak
warp core. Also, if a cutting beam is available, one
should be placed on each lateral edge, replacing one
pulse disruptor each face.

Its nowhere near as good as FW's BOBW cube, but at least it is low poly so you can have lots of them on screen. Later I might do a more detailed version.

Keeping it this way allows me to apply different texture sets to the same model.

I'm sure Raven would love to hear that. He's a big fan of your Borg work. We all are
