The Borg - Modular Encounters Systems

Description
Get ready to be assimilated, because the Borg from Star Trek have found their way to the SE universe!

This mod uses MaridiusIX's Modular Encounters Systems mod to spawn Borg Cubes that will hunt you down, rip your ships to shreds, and then I guess eat whatever is left.

The Borg are intended as late-game enemies with heavy armor and enough firepower to wipe out a federation fleet.
They use PCU to determine targets, and will not appear until you have at least 15,000 PCU in a 200km region.
Once they do take interest, though, they will pursue you across space until you either destroy them or succumb. Just watch how big you grow and you should be fine...

The Borg are a tough enemy, but if you can survive them, they surely have some valuable technology of their own. Maybe this whole assimilation business isn't so bad after all?

If you're itching for a real fight, check out The Borg - Infinity and face the borg as they are meant to be; unrelenting and all consuming!


If you're interested in seeing how this mod was created or possibly in making an MES mod of your own, go watch my Modular Encounters Systems Tutorial!

Truthfully Locutus, I know nothing about SE Servers. My best guess is that your issue is with Modular Encounter Systems itself and just manifests when it tries to load a spawn mod. I'm not gonna hunt through your steam ID list to figure out what each mod you have is, but if my mod is the only spawn group mod you have installed i'd suggest testing another MES spawn mod first and see if it'll boot with that. If it doesn't, i'd check the main MES page for any mod incompatibilities.

Does the mod work with STC again or not yet

Yea.. idk.. not sure if you could use a trigger (Peace Accepted) as a way to spawn in ships, then have them declare war when they arrive at your base. :D

does make me wonder about a dominion mod, but I'm not sure how I'd make them declare peace and then slowly take over your society from within.
Wren Thunderstride 6 Sep, 2024 @ 4:40am 
Will do and thx!!! They are enemies again and killing us proper! Players trying to friend the borg so they can travel space without being attacked.. pfffft... silly players. :D

Alright, in my brief testing I believe I have the mod working correctly, let me know if you still run into issues
Red_S_Games  [author] 4 Sep, 2024 @ 12:08pm 
hmm, guess they've taken a page from the Dominion's book. Jokes aside I'll look into updating that, shouldn't be much of an issue when I have the time.

Is there a way to prevent the borg from offering peace? On our game they suddenly offered peace? Need them to stay agressive the same way Perpetually Preturbed Pirates does.

they are designed primarily for a planetary start; a way to make space a dangerous place to be. you could always go into the mod files, I believe the SpawnGroup file contains a line called PCUMinimum that you can use to adjust when the borg spawn. Just remember to save the new version into AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods so it doesn't get overwritten when you launch the world.
