BUILT-IN REMODULATION!
We've updated how Remodulation works against the Borg. It'll no longer be a device you have to equip, and you can earn and build special remodulators!
By Ambassador Kael September 05, 2023, 08:00 AM
They’ve adapted!
The Borg strike fear into the hearts of warriors across the galaxy with their ability to adapt to all manner of attacks. The soldiers of the great galactic powers rely on remodulating their weapons to overcome this adaptive defense.
Previously, remodulation required you to fetch a special remodulator device, and to equip this in a device slot. Now, basic remodulation is a built-in function: When the Borg start to adapt to your weapons, the option to remodulate will appear over your power tray. You no longer need a frequency remodulator item, and basic remodulators will be removed from your inventory automatically.
You can, however, still access improved remodulator functions. If you equip a Fractal Remodulator—available through the R&D interface, by using materials from the Defera Invasion Zone—your default remodulate power will change to the improved, faster remodulation. If you have Presequenced Remodulator consumables—also now craftable through R&D—or the set bonus from various Omega Force reputation gear sets, you can still use these, too.
Going forward, we anticipate releasing additional specialty remodulators with additional benefits. Equipping one of these devices replaces your default remodulator, so that when the Borg start to adapt to your attacks, your remodulation benefits from the new abilities.
In addition, we’ve reworked Borg adaptation itself. The Borg should be slower to adapt to changes overall, and against weapons that fire rapid sprays or bursts, they tend to adapt partially only on a per-burst basis, instead of with every shot. Overall, the cadence of combat against the Borg should be closer to what’s seen in the shows and movies: You can drop a couple of Borg with some well-placed shots, but then they adapt to your weapons until you remodulate frequencies.
Of course, remodulation still takes time, so choose your moments wisely. And if you use the instant remodulate power of the Omega Force sets, while it’s re-processing you’ll have to rely on your default remodulator (or the improved device that you’ve equipped).
You’ll see these new changes in your upcoming battles with the Borg, and they’ll work in older missions as well. Good luck against the Borg—resistance is not futile!

I hope they still allow us to add the power to a hotkey after the change for convenience. Most of the time I just steamroll borg with a healthy does of space magics, mines, and/or season liberally with hot lead as needed anyway, but would be nice to know if I can just keep my Shaxs cannon handy instead if the adapted change is good enough. Also sounds like they are finally incorporating at least some of the Defera crafting into the regular R&D system instead of the buggy NPC interface on Defera itself, which is a nice change.

I'm hopeful for the hotkey as well. I'm not a fan of having to click something above the power tray. I'd rather they allow it to be a hot key or something I can slot with keybinds to the power tray like it is now. I don't mind having to hit the button. But then I also prefer the hot lead option and just run with my old west mentality against the Borg. If you fill them with enough lead, they don't assimilate you.

My name is Darthnovawave, and that's why I pay for ad-free streaming packages. American elections are basically around 22 and a half months of such ads featuring geriatric politicians that in any other vocation would have already retired consuming more and more time every commercial break, then about 7 weeks or so of freedom every other holiday season before the next cycle starts. With 2024 being a presidential election year, the ads are like 5 times more pervasive and virtually inescapable here.

As long as the Tommy Gun, the Shotgun, TR-116A/B can still bypass the Borg Shield and possible the I-Mod that was a lot of work for nothing.
