why don't they just blow it up?
>>215548940what's that, a BMW engine?
>>215548940i always thought the borg were a shit-tier villain but i'm pretty sure the answer is a combination of, the cubes are H U G E relative to even the largest warships in service for every single faction. like, fire all your weapons, every single torpedo, set the lasers to max and run them until the reactor is toast, it doesn't matter there's just THAT much cube to destroy.additionally, a major plot point for the borg is that they are the assimilated mass of everything they encounter. so everyone gets one free shot, take a big swing at their chin, and WOW you sure hit them... but then every second shot does nothing. they saw what you had, applied a monstrously large compute to analysis and countermeasures, and now whatever your finest weapon did is now meaninglessalso every one of your dead feeds their cybernetic crew, and every piece of destroyed spaceship feeds their construction. it's just space undead + space singularity as a villain
>>215549052>it's just space undead + space singularity as a villainUntil first contact ruined it forever anyway.To be fair there was no way to write them as continuing villains without ruining them; the BoBW Borg were just outside of scope for the federation to oppose.
>>215548940Because Picard was a collaborator with the Borg from the beginning. 39 ships lost. And a loss of life measured at nearly 11,000. One wonders how he can sleep at night, having caused so much destruction.
>>215549052surely they would have strong enough nukes that could destroy at least half of it per charge by the 31st century or whatever
>>215549179>Federation>nukesI don't think you "get" Star Trek
>>215549310I mean, they use antimatter explosivesnuclear weapons are a popgun comparatively
