I recommend colonizing all Federation planets before going after the Klingons and the Romulans. That'll help you gain back the resources you lost storming the Feds (although you are probably going to do that anyways). It's also a good thing you are starting to build more support ships for your capitals. The one thing you need to work on is your research. Max out every logistic slot on your planets and spam assimilation nodes until you can research everything in that tree.
The Borg Titan is V'ger (from the first TOS movie), with a borg texture and without the massive cloud that surrounded it in the movie. And you need to research hull repair and shield regen upgrades, that will increase your repair rate.
MiniCrafter Actually, it IS V'Ger, here's a pic of what it looked like in the movie under that energy cloud that surrounded it. en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/V%27Ger?file=Vger_ship.jpg THAT's the ship that was built around the Probe.
For the best looking ship I would go with the Nova Class and the Intrepid Class as second favorite. Star Trek Voyager was also the show that got me into Star Trek.
What was that Picard said in Star Trek 8? "They invade our space, and we fall back, they assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again, the line must be drawn HERE! THIS FAR, NO FARTHER! and I will make the PAY for what they've done!"
For Star Trek Enterprise, if they had of kept going there were plans to add to the ship. Adding a lower section to make it appear more like the original enterprise. Suppose to be a refit.
Shack, I'm telling you man. GET THE BORG TITAN. Sure, it's very expensive, but it's SOOOO worth it. I mean, the level 1 titan has the power of two level 10 borg cubes. And that's just at level 1! Plus it has AMAZING abilities, which can easily change the tide of your entire campaign. Also love the design. Trust me Shack, BUY IT. With the titan, you're pretty much invincible.
I can't wait for Star Trek: Excalibur - been following the progress since it was a mod for Bridge Commander! They have a Quick Battle release in the works and it'd be awesome if you did a video on it once it was available :)
Ah Shack... I know this video like almost 2 years old but I'm laughing and shaking my head. Early on (I think in episode 1) you speak about "You really can't rush as the Borg, you have to play more defensively". And the entire time, the one thing you neglect..... was that planet that the Federation keep coming through (like how they sent wave after wave after wave in Ep 1 or 2?) lol. You leave it completely open and then are surprised when they attack you there xD You're killin' me smalls. You're killin' me.
I love this series. It's so nice to see the borg assimilate the whole Alpha quadrant and the mod is incredibly good. So many cinematic shots that are reminding me of great battles in the ST universe. By the way, is there any chance we'll see the Star Wars Ascendancy or Sins of the Prophets mod on this channel?:)
Argh, this video is painful. You need to make more support ships so your cubes actually have time to do damage, I'd recommend dodechedrons as they are antifighter frigs I do believe. Also, they aren't that slow, they are being slowed by the Federation as they are getting attacked (I think its the Akira's torpedos, but I'm not sure). But, on a side note, build a Titan as well, you will be amazed.
only issue I have with this mod, is the game it runs off..it doesn't make sense at all to me that the romulans, humans, borgs, Klingon, pirates, and CO. all live in the same solar system... mod looks great, only if it would be on another game with an actual galaxie to play in , instead of just 1 system.. something like StarRuler for example...Sins of a solar empire, isn't rlly cutting it in my opinion for star trek mods..
So your real problem is with the scale of the map. You can run larger maps with multiple star systems. Those games can take days or even weeks. Not something I'm willing to do in a letsplay.
TheXPGamers my problem is with the map size yes and no..the game mechanic, altho praised by many in my view isn't giving you enough freedom. oddly enough I like games most ppl say sucks and are not in depth ex star ruler, distant worlds ext. a galaxy has a lot of suns.. but you know that all this is pointless. some ppl like different thing to others. and that's what great about it. theres games for every1. cheers and thnx for the upload.
+Greatmoose I once did a map with 348 planets, it was huge, but after exploring 160 systems or so everything started to lag. Then I crashed and never played that map again.
Is the Sins of the Gothic Empire dead? And if so can you please get someone to reactivate the mod. I love the mod. Just want to see a Babylon 5 or 40 k one.
It was so painful to watch you looking for that research to speed up ship build rate. It was right in front of you! Your cursor was literally making circles around it.
SINS OF A SOLAR EMPIRE: store.steampowered.com/search/?snr=1_4_4__12&term=sins+of+solar+empire Star Trek Armada 3: www.moddb.com/mods/star-trek-armada-3
You had a cube with FIVE unused upgrade points, your research is crap and your playing very slow. Painful to watch, nice to see the Borg stuff but painful to watch.
CaptainShack while you make good videos i must say your not the best strategic player...you skipped over the research that speed up your ship constructing like 3 or 4 times while looking right at it and also if you want better regen rates invest in the health upgrades the regen rates are tied into those upgrades. Please take more time to actually look at your researches as you go it is so painful to watch you skip right over stuff that is right in front of your face.
I was half expecting the Klingons to show up when he said he was glad they hadn't shown up yet.

dude the Borg titan cannot be v'ger, v'ger was VOYAGER 6 from the voyager series space probes in star trek.
MiniCrafter Actually, it IS V'Ger, here's a pic of what it looked like in the movie under that energy cloud that surrounded it. en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/V%27Ger?file=Vger_ship.jpg THAT's the ship that was built around the Probe.
TheGuardianofAzarath Let's just call it Vessel One of Two.
For the best looking ship I would go with the Nova Class and the Intrepid Class as second favorite. Star Trek Voyager was also the show that got me into Star Trek.
there are research options t increase borg repair rate.. also there is a repair yard under the defence structures
What was that Picard said in Star Trek 8? "They invade our space, and we fall back, they assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again, the line must be drawn HERE! THIS FAR, NO FARTHER! and I will make the PAY for what they've done!"
i like when he says here
For Star Trek Enterprise, if they had of kept going there were plans to add to the ship. Adding a lower section to make it appear more like the original enterprise. Suppose to be a refit.
Maybe next time you play you do some research into Regeneration, kinda helps you repair ships faster

Is that the queen?
V'ger...Effectively.
v'ger combined himself with a human...and ta da borg...
you should conquer the entire federation section and get some more utilities going that way you have something to fall back on once the feds fall
I can't wait for Star Trek: Excalibur - been following the progress since it was a mod for Bridge Commander!
They have a Quick Battle release in the works and it'd be awesome if you did a video on it once it was available :)
shit youtube still rendering
hmmmm ill watch it now in 360p and come back later to 1080p OHH YEAH
I liked Voyager and they didn't always run in to the borg they had a new "bad guy" species every season
Ah Shack... I know this video like almost 2 years old but I'm laughing and shaking my head.

What do You expect from a simple Borg Drone?
Cube sandwich!
three death sta...i mean three death cubes??? and a super diamond destroyer!!!? i think i left something at our base... good luck on killing the Borg.
I love this series. It's so nice to see the borg assimilate the whole Alpha quadrant and the mod is incredibly good. So many cinematic shots that are reminding me of great battles in the ST universe.

holy hell youtube...tried watching 30 minutes ago at 360p and decided to wait for better....come back its at 144?!
Assimilate earth since they been more involved in the battle
Make a tactical cube and Borg Titan
Pull your assimilated ships into an auxiliary Mobile fleet. stop sending them to be blown-up
attack the klingons next. They are the closest. let the those back stabbin romulans sit and sweat about fighting you alone.
the borg aren't slow, you just aren't playing them right =P
If you don't put up another star trek video, I will watch this again and point out everything You did wrong
Man did you heard about anti fighters frigate?
Really don't see how the Borg titan is phallic shaped; those people are kinda crazy.
If u a Star Trek geek tell us next episode
Do the Borg not have any anti-fighter vessels? That's what has been kicking your butt.
do you not have any repair bays? you need more ships other than cubes.
You need to do more weapons research, and civi research.
Argh, this video is painful. You need to make more support ships so your cubes actually have time to do damage, I'd recommend dodechedrons as they are antifighter frigs I do believe. Also, they aren't that slow, they are being slowed by the Federation as they are getting attacked (I think its the Akira's torpedos, but I'm not sure). But, on a side note, build a Titan as well, you will be amazed.
It's the Miranda's special ability I do reckon.
Nice video.
Romulans last :p go at them with the Titan and just decimate em
Hi
Can you assimilate Titans?
Also, why you no like Kira from DS9? She's like the second hottest female Trek character next to 7 of 9.
Man you can't build 100 spheres?
how about 4 players vs a borg player and a borg computer the borg are on the same team duh
you need to build more ships that are not capitals
oh dear god the borg have arrived... RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! TAKE THE KLIGONS AND THE ROMULANS FIRST!
dam left
I surrender
Can't beat them join them
Does the downward arrows indicate Assimilation happening?
Honest.y, I would just spam Spheres, and whatever their anit-fighter ships are. PWNAGE!
***** Ah. In that case, you need a bunch of suicide ships to just YOLO forwards and kill any hangers they have, right?
thy have a repair node its under tactical structure u DONT need to research it
What is repair node good for home?

Sins' maps can have more than one star
***** I mean I was talking about thousands of stars... I really don't think you Sins can do that. on the other hand stellaris is a good candidate.
Is the Sins of the Gothic Empire dead? And if so can you please get someone to reactivate the mod. I love the mod. Just want to see a Babylon 5 or 40 k one.
Which sins is this mod for?
