Good question. I'm betting that they have the capability for it, but they're too powerful to bother using it.

ya i guess that would make since i mean a cloaking device abroad cube wouldnt really match with borg tactics. i guess.....

i don't think they find it neccessary too hide. because they want too conquer and thats done by brute force accoring too them.

Just because you're unstoppable doesn't mean you have a cloaking device. Klingons have it and they aren't unstoppable. Im sure the Borg assimilated someone with knowledge of a cloaking device. But as others said the Borg don't really need it. Thet Borg should work at finding a way to fire while in cloak. If the Klingons did then they should be able to.

maybe they might have the knowlegle since they assimilated all those spieces and out of the millions maybe someone had an idea on how to make a cloak in whih you can fire in but i guess they never took him serlouly

sorry for the spelling

The cubes are too big? They don't need it because they can shoot almost every spieces to bits? Something like that

they plain just don't need it!

what about the cloak from nemsis they could warp to earth and assimalate everyone from cloak.

Founder · **Wed Sep 22, 2004 1:26 am**

The Cloak from Nemesis? Would it be that much of a difference? You would still have to decloak to beam down to the planet and assimilate people. Although it would take Starfleet longer to respond but still.....

oh come on. Would you really think that even the borg would sink too romulan or klingon level?

Angeldust · **Wed Sep 22, 2004 8:43 am**

Why the heck would such a technologically superior race want to hide itself??

Ensiqn_Vorik · **Wed Sep 22, 2004 9:23 pm**

The Borg are the second superior race and therefor do not need a cloaking device.

lionhead · **Thu Sep 23, 2004 6:51 am**

yes allright we know now. You don't have too repeat what other already stated.

if the borg whated to win a war shouldnt they go for the least amount of losses but deal the most amount of damage?

lionhead · **Sat Sep 25, 2004 2:19 am**

They don't care about losses, if it takes more damge too kill a couple of drones then they will. Its not the drones who are in control. Always remember that.

Besides, loosing a couple of million drones isn't really defestating for the borg, they are in the hundereds of billions.

but wouldnt that make the job alot easier

sabertooth1217 · **Thu Sep 30, 2004 8:06 am**

The Borg are power hungry. They think that They can take out anyone, no matter who it is. They might think that cloaks make them weak, but I am sure that they have the technology from all of the races that they have taken over.

Lord Borg · **Thu Sep 30, 2004 3:45 pm**

They may just feel that the use of cloak is irrelivant being as the "outcome" is inevitble, they will assimilate who and what they are after, why hid when theres nothing to do about it?

starnova · **Thu Sep 30, 2004 11:25 pm**

it may do nothing but somethings it may help

lionhead · **Fri Oct 01, 2004 5:57 am**

When? Perhaps if the borg cube that launched an attck on earth the first time would have used a cloaking device they might have reached earth yes, but they never thought they had too be that fast too reach earth. I mean, why sneak past the defenses when you can just simply destroy them and assimilate the fleet? Even after 3 tries they thought they could assimilate the Alpha Quadrant without much trouble, they where wrong 3 times. But they never thought of using a cloaking device, because being seen before they reach destination (earth) was never the problem, the problem was Picard, they even assimilated him but that worked out even worse than their invasion. So there you have it, using a lcoaking device would simply be, useless.

They can assimilate the alpha Quadrant without it, can they?

Even the almighty Borg are not the Almightist - It's Coming to Crush them into Nothingness.

Nate Jameson · **Sat Oct 23, 2004 1:20 pm**

I would have to say that the Borg don't have cloaking devices because they want to be seen by their enemy- they want to show off their power and "Perfections." And, I would say that they figure they are too powerful and perfect to need cloaks.

~Voyager Fan~ · **Fri Jan 14, 2005 4:33 am**

oh yeah, they should have one. or else they romulans and klingons can destroyed them easily.
