Fun Facts on Starships vs. Borg for the day:
How big is a Sovereign Class Starship?
About 700 meters long (over twice as long as a modern aircraft carrier)
About 3 million metric tons (about 30 times heavier than a modern aircraft carrier)
665,000 square meters of deck area (over half a square kilometer)
(PS - color me skeptical that the crew size of the thing is about 1200 - that's 30 times the ship of an aircraft carrier with 1/4 the crew...)
How big is a borg cube?
Slightly over 3000 m on a side.
About 27 billion cubic meters, or 27 cubic kilometers.
Probably about 27 billion metric tons (assuming it’s similar density to a Sovereign Class and to modern naval warships, which are ~ neutrally buoyant in water)
Probably about 9,000 square kilometers of deck space, assuming each deck is about 3 m high (over twice the area of the US state of Rhode Island, about 2/3 the area of Connecticut, or about half the area of Wales for the Brits on the boards)
How’s that rack out?
Just in terms of mass, it would take 9,000 Sovereign Class starships to equal a borg cube.
Just in terms of equipment fitting into the space, it would take about 13,500 Sovereign Class starships to equal a borg cube.
Happy hunting.
I doubt anyone here hasn't seen this, but anyhow:

Also, something which might make an interesting mod: Star Trek VS Star Wars. It would be neat if there were a combination of Sacrifice of Angels and one of the Star Wars mods.
