Re: Borg Ship (was: Full Trek Ship Stats)

I hadn't posted those stats on the list, but since we're talking Trek
anyway,
I may as well. Here's what I was playing with (a little small, I know,
but I
was using it as a starting point):

Borg Ship  
Mass:  300
Damage Points:	150   (21/21/21/21/22/22/22)
Thrust	6
Warp Drive  Y
Superior Shields: (F/S)  150
Superior Shields: (P/Aft) 150
7 x Fire Cons
4 x AA-Batteries (F) (P) (S) (Aft)
8 x A-Batteries (P/F) (P/F) (F/S) (F/S) (S/Aft) (S/Aft) (Aft/P) (Aft/P)
Quantum Torpedoes: (F) (F) (P) (P) (S) (S) (Aft) (Aft)
3 x Class A Tractor Beams
Superior Sensors
7 x Damage Control Parties
Transporters  3
Cost: 6011

   AA-Bateries act like in MT, but have no chance of burnout. 
   Quantum torpedoes act like regular pulse torpedoes but do 2d6 damage
and
have an additional 6" range (giving them +1 to hit at each range
interval). 
   The "superior shields" are from my ablative shield rules I posted a
few
months back. "Superior" is roughly equivilent to LVL-3 screens.
   Transporters are used for boarding parties. 

I playtested this against the following Federation Fleet: (I won't
bother to
inculde stats for these, just mass so you can get an idea.)

1 x Galaxy-class  (88-mass)
1 x Nebula-class  (70-mass)
2 x Ambassador-class  (56-mass)
1 x Excellsior-class  (48-mass)
3 x Constellation-class  (34-mass)
3 x Miranda-class   (28-mass)
4 x Scouts-class  (16-mass)

Results: the Borg got creamed. It was fun watching the cruisers go POP
after
one or two shots, but once they were able to force a couple threshold
checks
on the Borg ship, it was all over. Almost half the Federation Fleet
survived!

Next time, I figure I'll up the Borg's mass to around 500, add 2 more
shield
generators and give it double (or even tripple?) the usual number of
Damage
Control Parties, to reflect the Borgs' regenerative ability.
