that conversion on it's own could take some resources and minerals.
the same would be with general Borg pop. it would grow, but needs to be converted into cyborgs.

and the conversion of their native people should be somehow cheaper and easier than converting captured alien pop.

Of course the borg would need a special electonics device that allows them to steal pop before even talking about assimilation. And if this pop-stealing gadget is assigned to a respective tech level then voila no fear of early game assimilation.
To balance the game, required tech level for this gadget should be set by considering the planetary defences. so not too early not too late.

if borg has this device it would still have to bomb the defences off the planet.

and once it gets the pop it would have to assimilate it. assimilation limit would depend on the nr. of assimilation capable ships.
these ships ofcourse would be expensive to build.

the stealing ability per one year is also limited. so if you can steal 100k or 200k from 0% defended planet then Borg still ahs to conver them into drones, before they do what it commands, and that takes time.
and if Borg goes on ground assault then if the defences are low and it has enough numbers, well what race would not fight to death. Maybe have here some low % of possibility for Borg to capture a small part of home-defenders. as long as it is some small number then it only serves to make the game feeling more real.
Also with random effects turned on there should be some low percentage of chance that the captured pop starts to rebel on borg freighter, takes the ship over and flees from the fleet...
without Borg noticing it before it has already escaped back to their HW or 1 turns distance in space with max speed.
