This is something I've wondered about; how does the Borg weapon-adaption thingy work, anyway? I mean, what do different phaser frequencies do to the beam that makes them have to re-adapt to it? Are there types of weapons they can't adapt to? Can weapons break through their shields even after they've adapted to them given sufficient firepower (seeing as how most capital ship-based weapons in Star Wars have a pretty insane energy output)? I'm not that knowledgeable about Star Trek, so I probably missed a whole bunch of relevant information about how all that works.
