I always wondered why star trek dudes try to use phasers against the borg over and over. The best approach would be to whip out blades and go in hacking and slashing!

When you're assimilated you get access to unlimited phone and texting as well as all the HD channels and slipstream internet for free. Can't beat that sweet deal!

@TheProtronic Agreed! The borg were so much more scary before they introduced a ruler

[zillafire101]

Borg-Resistance is futile!

Dalek-Exterminate!

Grox-Does not compute.

@symbolt

Indeed. The Borg would most likely have to devastate the planet from orbit and drastically reduce the number of defenders that way. The first time the Borg are mentioned in STNG it's suggested that the Borg can scoop up entire cities and assimiliate them that way, but in any case it seems likely that guerilla resistance on a planet with a large population would continue for a long time.

@TheOne1945 Well I think the best approach would be to use parts of the environment. The Borg are so clumsy that in a planet situation, it's enough to vaporize a trench to basically incapacitate them.

@bads06 What, you haven't joined yet? Wait there, we will send one of our "representatives" over to give you the "hook-up"!

@MrSinister1979 They screwed up the original concept in the movie. In "The Next Generation" series, the Borg were all equal parts of one group mind; leader and follower simultaneously. In the movie, they turned them into brain-dead zombies under the command of a puppet master. That's a shame, because they were one of the most unique Star Trek races before someone had the bright idea to introduce a ruler.

@TheProtronic the future of P2P sharing!!

@TheOne1945 or Guns

[Sephlock]

@TheOne1945 If physical attacks work, why not use a tommy gun like picard did...

[FriendofDaishonin]

I never understood why they didn't just use guns with bullets. They had a prototype rifle with transporter capabilities in DS9. Replicating a 24th century automatic weapon should be a piece of cake. Picard had that tommy gun on the holodeck and it worked beautifully. They have force fields in case they shoot a hole in the hull of the ship from inside. Never made any sense to not use machine guns. They would have a never ending supply of ammo as they would only have to continue replicating.
