The Borg

Seems to me that 99ers just want to keep being miners, and everyone else wants to kill them.
When you find 99ers they're mostly chipping away at rocks or fixing bridges... then we roll up and gun them down.
It is sad.

As a huge Trekkie.....Thats all I can think about. Theres no way you get that close to a drone with Nim.

Nim looks like he just stepped off a Borg Cube.

Maybe the Pows transform at night? That could be kind of interesting. Would be a lot of fun running them over or trying to knock them off cliffs...xD

That's a more apt comparison, I agree.

Hellbugs: Starship Troopers
Raiders: Mad Max/Fallout
Mutants/Biomen: Fallout
Dark Matter: Dark Eldar [Warhammer 40k]
Nim Shondu: BORG
Scrappers: Geth or Reapers [from Mass Effect]
EGO: Cortana [Halo]

That's all I can think of for now. :p

But the 99ers DO show up en masse, take towns, and assimilate people. Anything to improve their production rates. There are a couple random missions where you have to rescue hostages from this fate actually and you can see people in tubes being transformed in certain areas.

Speaking of, why are there no female enemies? WTF Trion?
