Borg Cube

Contents

The Borg Cube is first available at Operations Level 28.

You will get 25% of the blueprints from the normal battle pass, and another 75% from the 20 Euro battle pass. This means by Day 8 of the arc, you should be able to have this ship for 20 Euros. It will also be available from Day 1 for 100 Euros, and then you can get a third in the event store in December.

This ship will be just like a normal faction ship, in that it is good for PVE, PVP, Armadas, etc. It will scale with your highest faction ship level (Romulan, Federation or Klingon Ships), and will progress through with you all the way to G6 epic levels. So if you have a Tier 6 Augur, then you can get this to Tier 5. So basically, once you have faction ships at a decent tier, you can then tier this one up higher. The tiering chart looks like this:

Borg Cube Tier by Faction Ship Tier

Borg Cutting Beam

The Borg Cube’s special ability is a cutting beam. This is used to do damage to any ship in the system WITHOUT attacking it. So basically, click on a button and do direct hull (no mitigation) damage to it. So if it says 1,000,000 hull damage, it does 1,000,000 hull damage. This ability can be used in PVP and PVE situations, but NOT against Bases, Armadas or Alliance Star Bases.

To charge the beam, you just kill hostiles with the ship. So kill hostiles, charge it up, shoot away.

If you do enough damage to kill a hostile with the cutting beam, you get the normal loot from the hostile PLUS Technological Distinctiveness.

This beam can also be used to punch away at bigger players ships during incursions or takeovers, or to smash smaller players from across the system.

Technological Distinctivenes

After you destroy a hostile WITH the Cutting Beam, you get technological Distinctiveness. This is used in the borg refinery to get upgrade material for the borg cube, as well as the material for the research nodes which are found in the Ex-Borg research tree section.

Borg Data Nodes

These are the materials needed to tier up the borg cube. They are rewards as a gift when you reach the tier required with the faction ship of that tier. So if you get an Enterprise to tier 6 and an Augur to tier 6, you will have two gifts — enough for leveling up two Borg Cubes. This means you can potentially have up to three Borg Cubes all fully leveled, if you tier up three faction ships, one for each faction.
