 EXCEPTION: POS. That seems all well and good. Really, there's only one flaw I can see. The borg never seemed to have very effective memory retention, in instances like that. I mean, that may just be protagonist deus ex machina mumbo jumbo, but they still seemed to forget even the most general tactics and lose old adaptations over time. However, assuming that's not really something we want to count on, since there's no real explanation for it except "woo, protagonists", then yeah, that works. Well, I don't know if it's so much a lack of memory retention as it is the fact that, for a collective hive-mind, the Borg are extremely fucking arrogant. They've got nigh-endless weapons covering the entire surface of their ships, adaptive shielding, regenerative ships, and has as about many drones on one cube as the population of my hometown. A single vessel can wipe out a whole starfleet and conquer a planet alone. They can afford to just attack straight on in nearly every case because a scan of the ships in front of them warranted just such an approach. The only exception was Species 0000, who couldn't be scanned or assimilated and could break out a Death Star-type planetkiller attack in an instant. Now, the Borg couldn't deal with that at all, but Imperial technology is quite a bit behind something like the Federation, or even the Pakleds for that matter. Also, it takes a bit of time for the Death Star's weapon to target, charge up, and fire, which is long enough for the Borg to scan, adjust, and devise a strategy to combat it (EDIT: Like what Sith just said). I mean, hell, it's just a big laser, right? That's so far behind Star Trek technology that Borg shields may just come automatically adapted to it. By the way...in this fight betwixt the Borg Cube and the Death Star are we talking about destruction of one vessel == win?
