If you recall the opening scene of first Contact, yopu will know there is considerable void space inside a cube, probably enough to park a ship of Intrepid size within. (Of course, actually getting it through the outer sides would be a wee problem... )

YEP, I would call this a major screw up on the part of the writers. As if anyone would leave behind all that technology. What were the writers thinking ? That we wouldn't notice ? I find this very frustrating !
And I agree with you Kosh that I would have explored the cube from top to bottom knowing that no other Borgs would come in the vacinity.
Maybe the kids would have helped in driving the Borg cube from inside a Voyager that would have been inside the Cube. At least it would have been a fun episode.

I'm not quite sure who we're talking about here. Voyager, or the Borg? The Borg don't want the ship because of that funky cyborg-killing virus. Though if I were them, I'd send a few ships to vaporize the thing, just to make sure no random passersby get the same idea Janeway and co. did.
As for Voyager, I think I recall the cube on its way towards an overload too. On the other hand, if not, there's no reason to assume they didn't take whatever they could get their hands on. Lots of things happen off-screen.

Well, if it is a cube with a sphere hatch, Voyager would fit in without a problem. A Borg sphere is somewhat larger than Voyager.

I also think that the vessel either blew up or was really damaged. Or it could be possible that the virus had spread to the other technology.

Also keep in mind that Voyager has a virus that IIRC the Borg can't adapt to. This makes it the perfect weapon incase they run into another cube.

The overload didn't come till late in the ep. They never shold have talked to the kids. Hit them with anestazine gas, and take the cube. You are home in a couple of months, and with the biggest tech leap since Warp Drive was invented.
The cube was "badly damaged" when Voyager came into contact with it, but if it couldn't be repaired, at least take the damn Trans Warp Coils,and the weapons, or at least mention that they had been destroyed.

Who needs helm control when Seven of Nine can just plug herself into anything with her assimilation tubules! Imagine Seven in the 21st century: "Seven, the toaster's not working.....could you give me a hand?" Seven: "Stand back....." (She assimilates the toaster and out pops some nano-toast!) On a serious note, maybe the ship had suffered more damage than it appeared. Maybe if Voyager used stuff from the Cube, their systems would fail too. ------------- "It is offensive, fortunately taste is irrelevant." Seven of Nine

I think we might be able to get away with assuming that Voyager did take what it could scavenge from the cube, assuming the ship survived.
The point I was trying to make about flying the cube was that the Borg control it...well, mentally. That is, it's all part of the Collective. There is no place that the Voyager crew could walk to and say, all right, this here is the helm, that over there fires the weapons, that sort of thing. To accomplish anything of great importance aboard a Borg ship, you have to be connected directly with it.
