Star Trek Fleet Command: How to Get and Use the Borg Sphere

To acquire and effectively use the Borg Sphere in Star Trek Fleet Command, you must reach Operations level 55 or higher and earn blueprints through Update 89's First Contact Part 2 events. Introduced as an Epic Grade 5 (G5) vessel, this ship serves as an offensive centerpiece for late-game combat, higher-tier node clearing, and endgame hostile farming.

Borg Sphere Acquisition Requirements

Unlocking the Borg Sphere requires meeting strict progression gates and participating in dedicated event activities. Attempting to acquire or build this ship before securing the necessary base infrastructure will strain your inventory, as maintenance and component costs in G5 space are exceptionally high.

Acquisition Area	Requirement or Action	Purpose
Operations Level	Reach Operations level 55 minimum	Unlocks access to the ship frame and G5 content
Blueprints	Complete First Contact Part 2 event tasks	Provides the specific event currency and blueprints needed to build
Materials	Stockpile G5 resources and speed-ups	Covers construction, component installation, and ongoing repair costs
Upgrade Priority	Focus initial investment on weapons systems	Boosts immediate offensive damage for efficient endgame hostile farming

Preparing Your Account and Resources

Before committing resources to the Borg Sphere, evaluate your account's financial stability and material reserves:

Participate in Active Events: Focus your daily play on First Contact Part 2 event milestones to collect all available blueprint drops and event-specific currencies.
Pre-farm Grade 5 Materials: Amass G5 materials prior to hitting Operations level 55 to avoid construction delays once the option to build becomes available.
Assess Speed-ups and Repair Stockpiles: Because G5 Epic ships incur elevated repair times and costs, build up repair speed-ups so daily rotations do not deplete your overall base resources.

Tactical Deployment and Usage Priorities

Once constructed, place the Borg Sphere at the core of your high-tier routine:

High-Level Hostile Farming: Use the ship's high defensive base stats and firepower to tackle tough daily combat tasks while reducing damage taken per run.
Weapons First Upgrades: Prioritize upgrading weapons components ahead of secondary systems to shorten fight durations and lower total repair costs over time.
Bridge Officer Synergies: Pair the ship with high-tier officers that enhance offensive yield or reduce incoming damage to maximize overall fleet combat efficiency in G5 zones.
