Would a Borg Octahedron be a nice idea to replace the by now proven to be incompetent Cube? Just to show something new?

You could have a whole range of Borg regular polyhedra. Borg Octahedrons, Borg Icosahedron, Borg Dodecahedron...

Hi-larious.

" Captain, three ships approaching at high warp! They're Borg Dodecahedrons!"

" Tactical, target the lead Dodecahedron and fire!"

By the time you're finished saying the name you'll be assimilated :p

What if Stafleet Academy forgot to reinforce spatial geometry?

"Dodecahedron? Now, is that the one with twelve sides or with-" *ZAP!*

Sure thing.... Here are some bigger ones, at wallpaper aspect ratios:

2000 x 1500

1920x1200 for the widescreen folks

1600x1200

1280x960

1024x768

I pity the tactical officer that has to report on the incoming ships.

"Sir! There's a Borg Icso....Iosoho....Ishco....a Borg Geometric Shape coming straight for us!"

I revised my pic.... expanded it significantly. I pretty much doubled the number of Federation ships. Added a Defiant "squadron", some excelsiors... and since, to me, it is sort of the forgotten class, some Ambassadors... There is even a dead Starfleet officer floating off on the left edge... Please give me some more suggestions, and whether you like this rendition better...

The New Fleet:

5 Sovereigns, 4 Galaxys, 3 Ambassadors, 2 Excelsiors, 7 Defiants, 4 Akiras, 3 Nebulas, 3 Intrepids, 2 Prometheus, 2 Steamrunner, 1 Saber, 1 Nova.

Total Strength = 49618... still a bit lower than the two Borgs, but i would guess that the attacks from so many vectors with such frequency, would put the actual power of the fleet much higher....

I love the Defiant group. A great use of the ship and exactly how I invisage them being used.

I think that this should be enough ships to take them down so long as they have a good fleet commander.

Makes sense, since that is why the Defiant was supposedly developed.

The body floating through space is a nice touch.

Dont bodies blow up in space due to no presure? So really that shouldnt be a person so much red blob.

Of course, but I attributed it to artistic license. Beisdes, it wouldn't be as clear a message if it were an undecipherable radiating group of red globules.

No. While the low pressure would cause the individual's blood to boil, and capillaries would burst, the bone and muscles are strong enough to hold the body together - cause of death would probably be either suffocation or hypothermia.
