BORG question for Modders

[Atrocities]

Would it be possible to make the BORG able to breath all atmospheres? I know its a reach, but think about it. They adapt, and this would give them a tremendous advantage whereas they would not have any.

Can it be done? If so, please say how. Thanks.

If it could be done it would make a great 5000-point race advantage.

Well the only way I can think of is add a ????pt ability, and then add a new facility, that costs nothing to build and do the samething as a atmpospheric convertor ... at least that how I'd think of it

[DirectorTsaarx]

Call the facility an "assimilation facility" or "cyborg adaptation facility"; go ahead and make it's cost similar to an atmospheric convertor, but make the time span something like .5 years (5 turns). Maybe add advanced Versions that will reduce the time to change atmosphere.

Of course, all this really does is create a super-facility for changing atmospheres, not create a race that breathes ALL atmospheres.

BTW - the Borg should also be able to colonize any planet TYPE (rock, ice, gas giant). Don't think that can be selected yet either...

Finally - Borg should also get major ground combat bonuses, since they would really be assimilating the ground troops; and have a preference for taking over ships rather than blowing them up.

However you could create a component under your Borg tech that can colonize all three types. An assimilation colonization module perhaps. As well add in the ship capture modules, or make it a shield depleting weapon and ship capture module.

There are standard components that are duplicated to some extent under some of the racial tech so this could be considered a similar type extension

EXACTLY! It should be set up in the game set up to allow them to be able to colonize all types. Thats it. Can it be done?
