Priority alert to all captains from Admiral D’vak of Task Force Omega.

The Borg have returned.

The Borg Resurgence Event presents remastered versions of three of the most popular Borg Task Force Operations and pits you against the implacable advance of The Borg. This new Event is designed to celebrate these long standing operations, and gives players a new method of engaging with the classic nemesis in all their resurgent terror. It will be live from February 17th at 8am PT to March 10th at 10am PT.

Participating in this Event will give all players the opportunity to win a Dispersing Nanoprobe Assimilator. Keep reading for details on these items, how you can participate in the Event, and what additional prizes may be earned.
Your Journey, Toward Perfection

Viewing the details of this Event in-game is as simple as opening your Journal and navigating to the new “Events” tab. From here, all of the pertinent information is at your fingertips, as are simple-to-use buttons that allow quick access to the associated Content for this Event.

As a core feature of the Event System, all Progress Points gained toward completion of the Event are shared across your entire Account. Progress is now also entirely automated, doing away with the need to receive tokens, slot them into projects, or any of the extra steps that were previously required.

Various new content offerings may be played in order to earn your Daily Progress toward the completion of the Borg Resurgence Event. Any of the participating TFOs from the following list will complete your Daily Progress:

Infected: The Conduit (Space)
Khitomer Vortex (Space)
Into the Hive (Ground)

Players will be able to complete their Daily Progress once every 20 hours. Any of the above TFOs may be played as much as you like each day, so pick and choose how you prefer to gain Progress each day, and mix it up as much (or as little) as you like!

Event Campaign – Part 1!

This multiple-event-spanning progression track will begin with the Borg Resurgence Event. This will be the first event that will participate in this Campaign, marking your first chance at receiving its reward. Each day that your Daily Requirement is met, the standard daily allotment of 50 Event Campaign Progress will be applied to your progress toward the completion of the Event Campaign’s Grand Prize - a choice of a free Tier 6 Promotional or Lockbox ship. The reward pack will include ships not available in the previous year's box. You could also claim 2 free T6 Coupons for the Zen Store, or 1500 Lobi!

Rewards

Accruing a total of 14 Days’ worth of Daily Progress will allow you to claim the Grand Prize of the Borg Resurgence Event. This reward includes all of the following:

Dispersing Nanoprobe Assimilator

With tremendous efficiency and quick action, this console infects nearby foes with Nanoprobes capable of assimilating enemies. When activated, this console disperses Borg nanites in a 3km radius to inflict Plasma damage and leave lingering Plasma Damage over time. if your enemies are destroyed while these Nanoprobes are infecting it, they will reconstruct your enemies into allies and preserve their decaying warp cores a little longer. Newly created additions to the Collective will use tractor beams and attempt to fly into your enemies to ignite their decaying warp cores upon their targets. Per activation, up to 10 enemies can be infected with Nanoprobes.

This console additionally provides a boost to Maximum Hull Capacity and Control Expertise. You may equip this console on any ship in any console slot. You may only equip one of these consoles.

3x Featured TFO Reward Boxes

Each gives a choice of 1x Specialization Point or an Enhanced Universal Tech Upgrade

50,000 Dilithium Ore

Issued immediately for use as you see fit!

(Note: The Featured TFO Boxes and Dilithium Ore are only rewarded once, to the first character on your account that claims the Grand Prize.)


Bonus Rewards

After claiming the Grand Prize, you will unlock the option of earning additional Dilithium Ore each day that you continue participating in the content associated with the Borg Resurgence. Each day you earn the Daily Progress you will be automatically granted a bundle of Dilithium Ore.

This bonus reward will begin at 2,500 Dilithium Ore for the first day’s completion, then scales up with each subsequent bonus completion that you achieve. The more you play, the more you continue to earn!
Zen Buyout Option

For players interested in instantly completing the Borg Resurgence Event – whether that is due to worries over finding the play time to complete it, or simply wanting to move immediately into earning Bonus Rewards – we will be offering an updated method for buying out.

Within the new Event UI, an option will be presented that allows you to purchase the remaining progress that you need, for a scaling amount of Zen. The base price for this service will be 2,000 Zen, but every single Daily Progress that you earn will reduce that price on a percentage basis. Thus, if you have already earned 7 Daily Progress (half of the 14 required), this price will be reduced for you down to 1,000 Zen. The more you play, the cheaper the Buyout Option becomes, dynamically!
A Second Chance

Once the Borg Resurgence Event has ended, your opportunity to earn Progress Points will have passed. However, the new Event System will store the progress that you made long after the Event has expired. Based on this stored progress, the option to Buyout the rewards will remain available through a new “Second Chance” interface. The price for this buyout is the same as what is offered while the Event is active, and scales in the same manner based on your amount of Progress Points accrued.

The top of the article says Cyclical Modulation Ground Weaponry that we already have in-game and the bottom says Dispersing Nanoprobe Assimilator I suspect that they never proofread it again lol

So this is the re-remastered version of the borg TFO's?

Apparently so we will see soon enough i guess

[Petrarch]

It mentions they've updated the promo pack rewards, so that I think will open up the choices not available last year to include the Janeway, Courage & Kirk classes on that front. I have the Kirk already and it's quite a nice ship to fly. It'll open quite a few options on the premium ship choices too.

Kael is a nice guy but he is incompetent at his job.

[darthnovawave]

Didn't they remaster those Borg queues last year too? Maybe they are upping the health of stuff again to make the DPS gods happy.

The console sounds like it could be fun. Kael suggested on the Ten Forward stream the other day that the new event campaign should offer the same prizes with the inclusion of 2021 box ships.

[trekchu]

Given the last time they did this, I got my beloved Discoprise out of it, I'm actually kinda looking forward to this.

It is the same post from 2 years ago.

Oh dear. I know Kael doesn't write them himself but you think he'd at least proofread them.

The blog has been fixed up, the event starts this Thursday (17th). Seems like a good excuse to get the new ships some field testing if you're going for any of them.

[Palechimera]

Who doesn't like blowing up Borg ships?

[Taku]

Who doesn't like blowing up Borg ships?

I like blowing up Borgs. I also enjoy grinding for a year. Then there's the whole "Free Promo Ship" thing. I like that a lot.

[Sorotia]

Well if nothing else it's nice to know will have another free r&d ship in the future!
