More about the mods mechanics:
When savaging assimilated asteroids, there will be a chance to get the borgsystem or borg weapons of any rarity. Though higher rarities have a lower probability.

If you assimilate a member of another faction, then you will see a fraction of their territory on the galaxy map. The size of the revealed map will depend on the rarity of the installed Assimilation Control System.

You can also use this mod without starting a new galaxy, you will then first have to search for the upgrade, by the upgrade you will get the weapons, then you can salvage assimilated asteroids to get more turrets and upgrades….

You can build a borg scout, that is a ship with similar abilities as the Borg drone. Build a ship, name it (while founding it) "Beacon Beta 1" and this ship will have all buffs and scipts of a borg-scout. The ship-designs can be found in this folder:\steamapps\workshop\content\445220\1945002291\data\plans\ (If you already created a ship with another name, then you can rename it, reload the galaxy and it will have save buffs and scripts

You can start over a galaxy with your own starting ships and starting stations and spawn your own ships directly, just replacing the files( keep the names!)

Only the Borg Assimilation Control system can be found everywhere (wreckage, merchants, equipment docks) with similar chance like normal ship systems. Borg weapons can only be looted from assimilated asteroids and you get some when you permanently install the Borg system.
If you are close to an equipment dock then you can uninstall/reinstall the system to get more Borg weapons. These two mechanics are independent from the Game and do not change if Avorion is updated.

Borg weapon generation:
created by the Borg Assimilation Control system:
- the rarity will be always similar to the systems rarity
- all other weapon specs depend on in which sector you are when installing the system. The closer you are to the core the the weapon

loot from assimilated asteroids:
- weapon strength depends on the sector
- type of Borg weapon or system is random and a matter of luck
you only get Borg loot if you harvest the whole assimilated asteriod. If you leave one peace of it then - no Borg loot.
- the rarity is better if you use better assimilation beams and a better asm-control system.
Also the general chance to get somerhing becomes better by that.

Tips for more and better Borg loot:

- one shot- assimilate asteriods and do not transform all blocks, the cutting beam cuts stone faster than anything else
- only assimilate and harvest small asteroids, thus you can harvest them faster and increase your chances

Bigger asteroids that you transform entirely will give you more money and more normal items each converted block of an asteroid increases your chance for better loot, the conversion of square blocks more than edgeblocks.

Secret Assimilation - assimilation without declaration of war:

-The rule is that just everything (except for your target) that has a crew and belongs to the same faction as your target can be a witness.

-Any potential witness needs to be more than 60 km away from your TARGET (not you) for a secret assimilation.

-Any other thing e.g. a container or gate is no witness. So you could secretly assimilate a ship at a gate if no other witness is within 60 km.
