I was thinking of running a Star Trek RPG with a Borg scenario, and I had an idea about the Borg personal defenses. Mainly that the Borg cannot defend against everything at the same time, which is why phasers are still effective against the Borg when first used against them. If you use kinetic weapons (bullets), soon, the shielding will adapt to deflect them. If you then switch to a phaser, it will eventually block the phaser. And by switching to a disrupter, it will sooner or later block the disrupter. HOWEVER, I believe then the kinetic weapon would be useful again since the Borg have not been attacked by it in a bit. The question is: What happens if you have a mixed combat team, some with kinetics, some disrupters, and some phasers? As all the weapons are going in at once, would the Borg be overwhelmed? And what about larger missile weapons - crossbows, for instance. Would a Borg shield be able to stop a weapon that massive? (Or grenades for that matter) Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------- GMAST Home Page: http://www.phoenyx.net/gmast/
