I am trying to get the hang of the Borg. I have a couple of questions. Every time I think I get the hang of them, I see some rule from who knows when that contradicts my understanding. Any help appreciated.

1. If you can only scout a mission with one Borg and not form away teams, there are dilemmas that are simply unsolvable. None Shall Pass requires STR>53 or 3 diplomacy or 2 Anthro or Guramba. One drone isn't going to cut it. Do you HAVE to have an interlink drone or a vinculum? Otherwise this makes no sense. I have to be missing something. I thought they got rid of the no away teams rule at one point?

2. How do the Borg get to the Alpha Quad? It looks like you seed one trans net gate during seed. Then you can play another one in the Alpha Quad? I guess if you seed the Borg outpost there is a special download of TNG.

Anyway, any clarification appreciated.

I think you are reading the old Decipher rules. As long as you have an objective that allows scouting, the current rules allow you to form any size away team you want.

TNG works, yes. Establish Gateway lets you download one.

In case it's helpful, here's the current Rulebook: https://www.trekcc.org/op/1e_rulebook/?borg=y

The "one drone at a time" rule, while very cool, was abolished on 19 Sep 2001.
