/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Dude, it was literally the first thing I linked to, and I even quoted the most relevant portions of the entry.
Is that memory beta or something? It's only reference is the destiny novels.
Oh, you're right, it's the Borg Wiki, it just looks the same because they both run on Fandom. Still, there's no reason to think that's no longer cannon just because Destiny is no longer cannon. We never see borg weapons adapting to anything other than phasers and photon torpedos, and there's lots of circumstantial evidence that they can't adapt to other weapon types.
There's also circumstantial evidence that they can adapt to other weapon types. Klingons and Romulans both ice disrupters and they're are drones of those species. But probably even more telling, star fleet never whacked plasma cannons on their new anti Borg ships, when it was a well established technology. On personal shields I'll grant you that they seemed to struggle (or maybe it just wasn't used enough) to adapt to holomatter based projectiles.
For the ships themselves I grant you the raw power and tonnage will tell. But for a Borg boarding party I see no reason for storm troopers to fare any better than others.
