I didn't realize that the Borg couldn't shoot these things until I went and looked it up in the glossary.

I completely agree that there needs to be a way to do this, whether a rules change or a card.... Something...

I feel like a new add distinctiveness would be cool and not game breaking since it would not be [Obj] points.

why not give borg its own Obsession with the added benefit it allows firing /assimilating those? I doubt it would break anything. Solverborg isnt close to OP and im not even sure its viable after all. Maybe TNG Borg, unless opp runs Stasiscombo

The only bad part about this is making Borg even MORE solitaire mode with this. Now they just fly around and score points by blowing up dilemmas that are basically trival to them? I mean most of the other affiliations have to at least have 2-3 ships present to win against self icon dilemmas and might lose a ship or at minimum be damaged. Borg basically say 24 weapons/shields everyone else is trivial. Which yes, I get it, they're Borg and bad ass, but that's really unfair when they already ignore 1/3 of the dilemmas out there.

it all boils down to speed what"unfair" is i think. I doubt borg can hunt down the missing points from S and P missions much quicker than solving more missions. Afterall the range of cubes is kinda limited.

No lack of drones who can crank up RANGE, though.

Personally, I'm fine with Borg just looking at the puny pirates and going "yeah, not worth my time".
