The Borg
The Borg is one of the most challenging races in VGA Planets to play. Many newbies make the mistake of trying to play them to early, and fail horribly, and never play the race again. Boy, are they missing out! As long as you go into playing the race with the tactical knowledge and experience required, they are one of the most rewarding races in the game to play! The only down-side, is in most games, they can take a VERY long time to play a turn-- at turn #30 in a game I was hosting with 3 other humans (the rest computer-controlled), my turns were taking over 2 HOURS EACH! And at a minimum of 1 turn per day, it was eating my time up! So first of all, if you'd like to master the Borg-- or even just play them respectfully; be sure you have plenty of time to play your turns! Second, be sure to play another race first-- the Borg is NOT a newbie race by ANY stretch of the imagination. And lastly, have a calculator nearby-- it greatly decreases the time you spend with your turn. I normally use VGA Planets Assistant, so some tactics require, or work best with this program. (More)

Cyborg: Collective Strategies
I recently got in on a game of planets as the Cyborgs. Since I usually favour the Birdmen point of view, I began to search the Internet for strategies, hints--anything that might help me dominate the Echo Cluster quickly and efficiently.
The information that I found was a different sort entirely. (More)

I Cyborg: Part 1
Cyborg. The name conjures images of planets laid to waste by fleets of cubes while natives are cruelly assimilated into the Collective. Most players loath going up against a well heeled Cyborg player because of the awesome combat power of the Cube ship. Yet, this race is by far the most difficult to play, since before the ‘borg can ever become a threat the player must develop a superior economy and build an effective fleet. (More)

Collective Consciousness:
Autarch’s Guide to the Cyborg
The Borg are a race that is perhaps one of the most difficult to play. They lack medium warships. They assimilate natives, and you have to capitalize on the natives if you want to build a base with good tech levels. Their economy, in the beginning, is one of the worst. You are easily destroyable in the first 10-18 turn of the game. You must have time to coordinate your forces, and manage your planets. If you don’t have time to do your turns, don’t play the Borg.

Cutter's Guide to the Cyborg
The Cyborg, different than any other race in the game, although every race has to have a different strategy, none is quite like the Cyborg. (More)
