Hi, Yeah, certainly would be interesting. Unfortunately, playing as the Borg would make you nearly invincible. If you played as theBorg in the battle of Wolf-359 you would carve the Federation fleet up as easily as carving up a roast. Not exactly fair odds there. Lol! "I am Locutus a Borg. From th

Hi Dark, Well, all I was really saying is that it would be a good idea to keep some kind of historical continuity between the classes of ships and the missions available to a player. You couldn't play the battle of Wolf-359 using the U.S.S. Defiant, for example, because that particular ship didn't

Hi Dark, Yes, I do see your point. Although, I do see some problems with that approach. For one thing if the game features a lot of newer classes of ships like the Defiant, Sovereign, or Intrepid class it would be a conflict of historical accuracy with older missions such as the battle of Wolf-359
