Hello again everyone. i was wondering if the reason the borg textures dont work (supposedly) is because the fleet ops team leaft out the borg child node in the model hierarchy? i did a model last night added the borg node and the command for the correct texture and it worked like a charm. i didnt verify if the borg textures worked before i did this. am i correct or was the borg textures feature added back into the game in the last fleet ops patch ?

Hello:
That might be the case, if the FleetOps team wanted to do their own thing, like they usually do, then perhaps they had other plans for the Borg and how they assimilate other ships... maybe they tried with 3d bits like in Armada1?

I'm pretty positive FO has completely broken borg textures on a foundational level. I assume some of the stock A2 conversion mods for Fleet Ops found ways around this or un-broke it, but I don't think its something you can enable without serious effort.

That seriously stinks, because I have friends that would like to expand the Borg side of things in FleetOps.

I think I didn't understand the issue and its nuances before. is the issue that when the borg build a ship it can have borg specific textures but when the borg assimilate a ship the textures dont show?
