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.

a cube is about the size of DS9

and they manage to destroy this ugly thing, some times? coz it sounds to me like another impossible to be beaten supercapship...

[Carl]

it's not impossible, just really really hard  

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.

arrgh! the tractor beams refuse to work! maybe i'll put in some of those shield draining weapons instead.

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.

Sheridan could take that thing out in five minutes with a 1972 VW Beetle.

A borg cube is exactly 2km in length, width and height.

It's a borg cube.  Quick, open a channel and send them Windows 95

How many HP does it have, or is its main strength that it turns invulnerable after a few hits?

actually, it's 2.5 km. and the HP is 1000,000. the tractor beams won't tractor. i set the mass to -1000, the speed to 2500, and the damage to 1 (to account for hull stress)

Wow. And did you find that totally without me telling you?

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.
