CUBE FIGHTING !

[Irish_Mark]

It was class...but rock hard for most of the ship to ship combat, the Borg where well over powered. Here's a few good shots I got

the first three are on Earths starbase and the others are space combat

That was insane. I was playing with an admiral in a DERVISH! and a captain in an exploration cruiser (T4)...

If you see my shots I'm an Admiral in a Dervish and Cajun is in a T4 Crusier

True, but I know the DERVISH! guy's name: Geo. I pretty much stuck with him and transfer shields and tactical teamed him the entire time while debuffing/shooting his targets. With my shields at full I actually could withstand numerous hits.

It was nice to see so many people out there fighting for our lives err deaths. Sometimes I don't mind dying.. especially when you don't have to pay to repair your gear. It allows for more heroic deaths.. so by my count I was a hero at least 50 times! haha

It was all definitely amazing!

So uh... I guess we can write it into STO fanon that after an immense Borg invasion, the Federation was forced to self destruct Spacedock after immediate evacuation of personnel. Those who stayed behind to fight for our very lives will be remembered and honored (beta toons). Awhile afterward, a select few Federation members returned to rebuild the Spacedock (headstarters). The completed structure is then celebrated by many new soldiers and some old (launch day and players bringing back their Beta characters, at least in appearance).

Yes?

That was pretty gnarly! you couldn't go 2 seconds without being in an instance - they were everywhere! I was instakilled I don't know how many times and helped to shoot 1 sphere down and 1 cube.... It was great fun!

Great pics everyone. I wish I was there. Looks like it was a ton of fun. I hope they do similar things once the game starts.

I pulled a Worf kind of death. RAMMING SPEED!!! (First Contact, the Defiant is about to be destroyed, and Worf says, "Ramming speed." The Enterprise shows up, and saves the day (and the crew of the Defiant)) I hit the Cube, but I don't think I did any damage.

I did take out 15% of a Cubes hull when I died next to it while its shields were down.

I really hated how so many people complained. If you keep dying, then just change instance. And I really don't think that this Borg fight will cause STO to flop, despite the comments of many people. If I had to say anything, it would make me buy the game even more! Of course, they seemed to forget that the cubes were at level 45, and they were all at or around 20. Of course you are going to get one-shotted. It's a Borg admiral against a Federation commander. Duh!

Me Cajun and Velzan took out two GM spheres, here's the second one

How do you take a screenshot with the UI on?

Borg.

I wonder how many cubes/ spheres were controlled by Cryptic employees?

I hope they add these kind of events more often, I only saw it for like 15 min. on earth space dock and didn't get to see any of the space fights since it was bed time for me.
The things I did see were pretty cool though!
