My personal opinion on the use of borgs is rather neutral.  I tend to
agree with Brian/FreeKill that the use of a borg just reduces the
enjoyment of the game.  I have never played a borg, and I will probably
never reach those "high ranks", but I always get some sense of
satisfaction from taking a planet under heavy fire or defeating a good
ogger.  Playing in a borg must reduce the challenge of the game...so as
far as I can see, the only enjoyment you can get is out of defeating
non-borgers.  Since this is only a game, I feel that the sole purpose of
it is to get some sense of accomplishment from doing some feat of some
value.  I would think that most non-borging players would agree that all
human games tend to me much more fast paced and exciting...

I am not trying to make any conclusive statement here, but I am just
posting this personal opinion...And it is great fun to waste high
ranking borgers trying to play without a borg!
