I sense a lot of hatred for borgs from veteran players out there.  I believe
this is due to the fact that you are simply used to playing "human" clients.

Personally, I love to play borgs as long as all users have essentially similar
ones.  The problem with borgs only comes form disparity.

If there can be a realistic simulation of space combat, a "borg" is more
realistic.  What captain would try fighting a FTL velocities with a ultra-tech
ship without access to fine computer aids and a crew who knows how to aim his
weapons for him.   To me the beauty of xtrek lies in strategy and basic
operation tactics, not dextrous application of a mouse.

You will have to excuse me if I get irritated at "humans" who complain
about "borgs" on non-human servers.
