[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] One of the things the Borg seems to have plenty of is patience. In the Delta Quadrant, they seem to assimilate planets and such with many cubes and millions of drones. Meanwhile, the attacks in the Alpha Quadrant have been relatively small, one or two ships at the most. The reasoning behind this is possibly that they would probably have many more resources to efficiently deploy closer to their territory, and relative invulnerability to protect them from anyone but Voyager and ships named Enterprise. Transwarp drive supposedly would enable them to GET to Earth really quickly in large numbers, but in the event that they had their transwarp disabled, it might present an unacceptable risk to be far out of range. So instead, you bide your time and wait until you can attack targets closer to your territory in large numbers. In the event of Earth, you first send one ship to test their defences, and then another with a dedicated plan. Either would be fully equipped to assimilate a whole planet if necessary (or call in more ships to do so). The Federation is definitely a threat to the Borg, having been able to thwart them often enough. But this threat is not a direct one, as the Feds don't have the capacity to menace the Borg in their own home territory with a coordinated strike (again, Voyager aside). This is probably whyt he Borg haven't invaded in force yet, as there are probably more pesky unassimilated species closer to home which might represent a clearer danger to them. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
