Hi,
I simply cannot play against those. My dilemmas do not work against them. Any strategies or dilemma combos besides just shooting them that work well against those fellas?

I straight lost a game to Paddy due to Experience BiJ. That's straight truth right there.

BB can be gotten around if the Borg player actually packs Transwarp Network Gateways. I've yet to run Transwarp Hub in a TNG Borg deck but there's no reason you can't or shouldn't.

You shouldn't be running Baryon without Docking Procedures

Docking Procedures can be rough. I had a delightful game of cat-and-mouse with @BCSWowbagger once where I was doing all sorts of goofy things to try and play round it.

Even if you don't get it to "stick" the head games make it worth stocking IMHO...

i wont go into details, but there are a couple of reasons you dont want or cant get a hub installed.

Well, you definitely CAN get one... it's a simple matter of Construct Starship + a Nebula Mission (add in Strategic Base for extra yumminess)

I've done it in multiple non- [1E-TNG] Borg decks and it's pretty solid. Clowns Cytherians like a champ.

As for why I wouldn't WANT that in a [1E-TNG] [Bor] ... *shrug* you must have your reasons, but they're not immediately obvious to me. That's ok, you got some super secret tech you wanna keep to yourself, I understand.

I, too, felt that pain. Man, that sucked. :x The manner in which Niall brought it to the table softened the blow a bit. And seeing Mila standing there (in my imagination), waving with that high-tech broomstick... Keeping drones off her just-swept floors... that was hilarious. To experience once. :P

Inhibitor of course. I think he killed my other drones with Worf and Jadzia, and because [1E-TNG] [Bor] can’t land (I still liked my idea of landing cubes that got cut from Q Who?) I was locked out

Doesn't Stone Knives and Bearskins shut that shit right down?

Also, why were you locked out? Can't you just change objectives and to a different mission?

Yes, I just went to another mission, was only that one mission I was locked out from.

And I probably had Stone Knives in the tent, and clean forgot!
