Back to the topic - when we first met the Borg I figured that each ship would be different, produced by "budding" or some other in the field construction method.

Now that we have queen(s) and a "home base" I suppose they do have ship classes. I'd go with "each class is an adaptation to a particular task" and we just don't have the information to determine why.

maybe not a task, but rather a successful weapon or strategy...

i understand about the unimatrizes serving as bases-control centers-repair -recrew and storage centers for raw material but what would borg do on planets?

we saw borg planets and they often have population around millions or billions---what could all those drones be doing---you don't need billions to operate some facility to strip mine planets.

Well, the Collective constitutes a consciousness several orders of magnitude above our own. It does whatever it pleases, I imagine.

Black people here in Trenton do not speak like that. You have to include curse words every 3 words.

Anyway the Borg Collective probably still needs raw materials after all it does take a lot of materials to build something. I am assuming that the Borg planets after exhasting the resources on the planet then they just become planets with billions of drones doing nothing.
