with it there are blue cutting lasers, disruptors, and torpedos.

Post by: Martinus on June 08, 2001, 09:06:00 pm: Very nice work!! I think you may be able to get away with more detail on the hull of the cube though, perhaps having the circular exit for the sphere a la first contact?

Nice texturing job as well. Hey, here's a thought, would it be possible to have the sphere inside the cube? Kinda like the Iceni model inside the asteroid base.

Post by: Martinus on June 08, 2001, 09:36:00 pm: If you could set it up so that it launches the sphere just as it explodes it would look excellent.

If u watch the show, all the ships are extremely fast at sublight, the sathanas shouldn't even be able to hit it, since the cube could just maneuver behind the sathanas and blast it from behind where there is minimal firepower.

Post by: Setekh on June 09, 2001, 10:18:00 pm: In all scenes that I've seen the Borg cube in (which aren't many, I admit), the cube seems to be under attack from several, up to dozens for many different corvettes.

For someone virtually retarded in the ST universe, can someone put up a size comparison of a cube and say, a few other ships - like an Orion, DS9, the Enterprise, you know. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Post by: Carl on June 10, 2001, 08:54:00 am: it's not impossible, just really really hard (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

in first contact they had dozens of ships attacking that one cube. i would amagine that a few collosus's (maybe 5) could do the job.

BTW, the new version so far has 8 borg disruptors, 8 borg torpedos, 8 cutting lasers, and 2 tractor beams.

I told you before sunshine, bite me! Your ships are oversized, slow, inefficienct and short ranged. Not to mention flimsy as a wet paper bag in a supernova.

Probably FS2 has problems with the negative values. I once tried a repair beam by giving a beam negative damage, but FS2 just treated it like 0 damage.
