[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Except you can't replicate discruptors or phasers. You'd have to charge them. Usually. Most of the time. Anyway, good analysis, but I always thought what Timo had thought, mainly because it seems simpler. The Borg obviously don't maintain an active adaption to every weapon they've encountered, for whatever reason. So drones get sent over, a couple die, and then the 7 billion behind them adapt. No big loss, really. If more Borg had turned up, I think they would have adpated somehow. If you want to add in anything extra, you could assume that the Borg realised they were on a holodeck, and were expecting some form of holographic attack, rather than real bullets. But the Borg don't do that. They don't think ahead. Otherwise they'd think "Hmm, I'm beaming over to a Starfleet ship. I'd better activate my anti-phaser forcefield". They die, and the ones behind them get better. Regarding Worf's knife attack, again, I tend to think that resistence to physical attacks would be an "adaption" of sorts. Normally, they aren't expecting it, so they are vunerable (although as you pointed out, they put up a fair showing in "BoBW", if Riker can be counted as a decent threat). If you started to chop them up, then they'd activate some sort of anti-getting chopped up subroutine, and start moving like Jackie Chan. Possibly. It would be interesting to see. That poll was amusing, BTW. But then I've seen Transformers fan argue long into the night that the Decepticons weren't evil either, so it's to be expected. [/QB][/QUOTE]
