Easy way to kill the Borg!

[cwl]

as you are facing them, engage warp drive. bye bye ship. bye bye Borg.

easy peasy lemon squeezy

I'm...gonna go lay down for a while.

Fail.

Not necessarily. It's possible that the cube can generate enough energy to counter the energy produced by the warping ship, destroying the ship and saving the cube.

I did always wonder why they didn't just attach a warp drive to an asteroid and give it a hurl.

I suppose that may fall into the category of "subspace weapons" which are banned....

against.. proper governments and stuff.. not against the borg.. just get a Jack Bauer type.. who will do what needs doing

I'd like to point out that a Borg cube is capable of generating enough energy to achieve transwarp velocities. It is probably therefore able to generate more than enough energy to overcome the kinetic energy of a starship moving at warp. The tactic would probably work a few times and then be useless, if it worked at all.

If you really wanna see how to handle the Borg? Read the Destiny trilogy by David Mack.

I always wondered why they couldn't disrupt the hive mind with some kind of subspace interference or something. If the network goes down at work everything stops. The effect on the borg should be devastating.

I'm fairly certain that a subspace network capable of instantly and simultaneously connecting and controlling the minds of trillions of sentient entities across an entire galaxy would probably be too powerful for the Federation, which is of course thousands of years less technologically advanced than the Borg, to disrupt.

you might have better luck throwing rocks at them.

Perhaps instead of planting the command "Sleep" into the hive mind, Data should have tried something like "Logic is little tweeting bird chirping in meadow. Logic is wreath of pretty flowers that smell bad."

The problem with trying to "Kirk" them -- "Norman, coordinate!" -- is that the Borg are not merely computers, and are therefore presumably capable of recognizing and disregarding irrational information.

Of course, you realize that posting that idea on a public bulleting board means it will never actually happen.

Easier way:

Don't write them into any more movies or TV episodes.

*ducks and runs for cover...*

 

[CoveTom]

^ Amen. They should have quit with the Borg a loooooong time ago.

 

[cwl]

if the Borg have a enough power to survive the impact from a starship travelling at Warp I'm Santa Clause's fair godmother.

 

[Jasper Sierra]

Has anyone explored the idea of injecting hallucinogens into a drone?

 

[The Badger]

^ To ensure the scientific validity of this concept we need to give hallucinogens to a non-drone control subject.
I volunteer.

Has anyone explored the idea of injecting hallucinogens into a drone?

... and this would accomplish, what, other than causing the nanoprobes to act to counter the hallucinogen?

 

[ltcmmanderdata]

i don't know about this. i'm going with sci on this topic. that book he recommends sounds interesting also. i don't think the borg can be so easily neutralized.
