How can I beat the Borg

[Hagiman2000]

The Prethoryn Scourge in Stelaris was tough but fun to fight against. They appeared at one edge of the galaxy and if this was not your territory you had some time to muster a defense against them. But with the BORG in Infinite it is no fun at all. I can not reach all the nodes because they are located outside my warprange in territory of enemy races or were I do not have open borders with. The AI does nothing to fight the cubes at the nodes.

I tried three times and reduce the difficulty a lot. Two times with the Federation and one time with the Klingons where I had half the galaxy and 5-6 fleets with 10k+

Therefore it is impossible to prevent them to build the transwarp network. After this in every system two medium cubes spawn.......

Is this really and "endgame" strategy? This is lame as hell from a developer standpoint. There is no front if they can spawn everywhere (even behind me where I repaired the warp node network). I even reduced the crisis strenght. All races are overrun in a couple of months.

This is no endgame crisis.

And also this annoying pirates that can fly through every territory and have no base. That is so unrealistic.

Did you try working on the Pathagen?

Also, 5-6 fleets of 10k should be making short work of the Pirates, even a single fleet of 10k should.

The Pirates are just annoying the real issue are the Borg. They spawn in every System. There is no front like in Stellaris. I had Like 30-40 systems, that is impossible to defend.

Also the task to clear the nodes is impossible to archive in that timeframe and with no Access to all nodes.

It sounds like it has progressed too far, by that point. It is then a question of, “ Dying, a beautiful death ( in the language of ancient Sparta.)

Much earlier, Janeway and her pathogen were your only hope.

It appears that the situation has advanced significantly by that stage. At this point, the options might be limited to facing a "beautiful death" in the language of ancient Sparta. Janeway and the pathogen seem to have been the only hope much earlier.

When I tried to use the pathogen with Janeway, 6 2K Borg spheres warped into the system and wiped me out. At that time I couldn't build a fleet larger than about 1.4K and couldn't support enough ships to build more than about 6 fleets. By the time Warp conduits mission spawned, I was building fleets of around 26K. The Borg cubes were coming in around 22K. I can beat them, but because I can't send fleets into the highway nodes, I can't fight them. This is just immensely stupid and just bad game design. A problem that Star Trek: Infinite has, poor game design. I could create a laundry list of bad decision making in regards to this game. There are a host of issues ranging from missing names in displays, to missions not functioning properly. There hasn't been a game update since December 6th. Rumors of lay offs at the development studio. My thought at this time is that the game is effectively abandoned. They aren't going to fix the issues. I am officially done with Paradox. HEAR THAT PARADOX? I've been a customer for decades and you will NOT be getting anymore of my money.
