It's up to chance, and it won't matter much either way, since we should avoid causalities.

But is it in our best interest to do so? The Borg are currently eating up the Ferengi, and they'll probably move on the Federation next. Letting them be for a while will take out these two powers. The Federation especially is a threat, since they'll move into ex-Ferengi territory and become much more powerful. The loss of the Ferengi also affects the balance of power in the north, leaving the Federation unopposed and bordered only by us/the Cardassians.

So we could either continue on plan, taking out the Borg now, or wait for the Borg to weaken the Federation before stepping in. Which should we do?

Waiting for the Borg to take on the Feds is the Romulan thing to do.

Quite capable. The only defense against them is overwhelming firepower.

Should look at Haspen's old replays, which ended with the Borg attacking with more than 9 cubes.

I'd like to volunteer Lal Devious to be Admiral of the Scout Fleet. Seems like a much more appropriate command for a man of the heroically tragic Devious lineage.

Borg Cube fires 15 lasers, each dealing around 700 damage. Each turn of fighting Borg means 10.5k damage to withstand.

Borg Cubes jump only to inhabited systems, and lacking any in neighbourhood, to closest uninhabited one. They never enter non-system tiles.

Also, I say we deal with the Cube now. The more damage they do, the less interesting the victory will be, and also letting them go now might spawn another Cube. And last thing we want is army of Borg Cubes merrily genociding over the map.

You sound like some sort of criminal.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.

This last sentence is an oddly accurate description of our current tactic...

Anyone not proposing we do the dishonourable thing and don't kill the Borg now is obviously a traitor and should be executed.

Am I too vulcan by proposing the logical thing to do? Deal with the borg before they become a threat bigger than the ferengi were.

If Borg create more cubes by annihilating assimilating systems, couldn't we mitigate both the enemy and Borg issue by doing some annihilation assimilation of our own?

So that's 2 for and 2 against? Anyone want to be the tiebreaker?
