One with the Borg

Does this work?

I self seed A fast ship would be nice and let my opponent assimilate my Borg cube. After completing my objective at the mission, I play assimilate starship on the Borg cube, assimilate it, and play one with the Borg on it to score 24 points.

Am I missing anything???

This doesn't work.

Commandeered != assimilated.

If I understand it correctly, he first ALLOWS the ship to be commandeered (so he loses control of it), THEN assimilates it (since you can assimilate a ship you don't control).

I don't see why not, assuming you mean to say you let your opponent commandeer the ship so you assimilate it back.

It's in the same vein as all of the other A Fast Ship tricks to give your opponent a ship you can mess with (The Emperor's New Cheese, Boarding Party/Secondary Market) and has all the same weak points (fails against a Borg opponent, self-seeds come last in OTF so you have to fight through some dilemmas first)
