Or, a joint Ashalla Pact / Gorn alliance conquers the Ittick-Ka while we're busy putting out fires with the Breen and the OSA, and split the spoils/territory between them. We can't assume that the other powers are incompetent at long term planning.

Yank the Stalwart and the Dryad. Boldly is still better off because they traded a Miranda for a tech-cruiser. We may have to pull Kepler for the Breen as the TF specifically requests her or T'mir.
I don't see any choice to be made wrt the Gorn except pulling more ships. We have to grab them quickly because the fucking Imelak are coming and those bastards are outteching us at every turn.
App is here: ship-deployment
I've pinged Gravitas Hunt for a ship list.

Hm.
One thing we could do is send a not huge task force to the Gorn, then substantially reinforce it next year when federalization hits. We could get our foot in the door ahead of or alongside of the Cardassian task force, then start really pushing next year.
It would be better to send a large force right away, but I really, really do not think we can afford to do that without calling up more member world ships.
Swapping explorers for cruisers or cruisers for frigates helps a bit, but by and large there's no reason to bother except specifically to call up a good ship to act as a flagship for a task force. What are you proposing all this in aid of? What's the goal or purpose?

Drawing down border zone forces means having less ships on call to assist interior zone squadrons in event response, and tends to create more "doesn't care about Tellarites" scenarios.

If I'd known that I would've voted for Early Mobilization last turn with all three of my votes because the OSA war and Breen invasion together is a State of Emergency situation.
Out of curiosity, why doesn't this qualify for a State of Emergency?

Its probably SoE worthy if war actually kicks off or we find convincing proof the HoH is behind it all, but Dev and Pacifists are almost certainly screaming bloody murder at the thought of having to go to SoE period without clear and pressing danger.
A thought on this option... If we keep Opportunity in the EC, we also have the option to pick a specialized captain for the Coreward Border War task force.
Otherwise, Odyssey is the only EC ship available for the full year. (E: and costs 15 pp)

Odyssey is the only one that will cost 15 pp.
I'm not sure if that's a good idea in this case since we know it the Gorn TF may be rolling against an opposed TF from the Cardassians, and we do know from the HoH TF that failing rolls against opposed TF's will mean negative progress. In that respect, if we can't send enough ships to oppose the Cardassian fleet, then it would be safer not to send a TF at all.
Thanks for the clarification. In that case, if we keep Opportunity in the EC, we can also save 15 pp on assigning an EC ship to the Anti-War TF.

Point on the event response angle, but if that's the main reason to keep those two strong right now, maybe we can pull the Miranda and the Oberth since they certainly aren't successfully supporting any interior zones. As for the other bit, this wasn't being proposed as a modification to any plan in particular so much as sharing some thoughts on where we may be able to scrounge up more and better ships to shuffle things around until we can somehow do most of what we desperately need to. If we can replace a frigate with a cruiser in a task force and thereby bump up stat totals, the task force is now a bit more effective without actually finding any more ships. Simple as that.

Um... won't the Cardassians probably make even more progress by default in our complete absence than they would while making (admittedly winning) opposed rolls against our small task force?
I mean, unopposed task forces can chew through tags pretty fast, right? If the Cardassians have an unopposed task force, they're going to be building up a tag for us to overcome with corresponding speed.
Because it's not a direct existential threat to the Federation.
"The Dominion is here, and they're pissed" is a State of Emergency. The Biophage is a State of Emergency.
The Mirandas can be pulled from border zones, but they don't add much to a task force because they have S2P1. Unless the task force's primary mission is to fight, or the Miranda in question is Blooded, they don't provide much benefit and don't do much for the strength of the task force.
Well yes, but then we're short a frigate somewhere. I mean, you're not wrong, but we're sort of already doing this. Every ship that goes into a task force makes a hole somewhere, so the question "where do we make holes" still applies.

[X][EC] Assign a vessel to support attempts to stop the Coreward Border War between the Licori, Laio, and OSA.
[X][OPPO] Continue as Explorer Corps Ship
At the very least we want Task Forces for stopping the border war and protecting/interacting with the Dreamers. I don't want to see them hunted down by the Breen for saving the Courageous. If we somehow have ships to spare, a Gorn task force would be my next pick.

I think we're supposed to also pick the ship for the first vote option? Eg.

All of this is really making me want to spend the extra 40pp up front for yet another tranche of member world ships to support operations.
My current plan doesn't actually draw much from TF Beyond, so hopefully we'll be able to weather the reinforced Horizon force without too much trouble. But the price of that is that we have nothing to spare for the Gorn, and I have no idea where to get the strength for that from without gutting TF Unity and abandoning hope of preventing the Licori-Alliance War.

The Gorn are already being wooed by the Cardassians, who have taken advantage of our failure to allocate a task force. The Gorn aligning with the Ashalla Pact together are a significant long-term threat to the Federation.

I'm not sure we can thread this needle. We may need to pick a place to lose, and do so on our own terms. All else being equal, I'd rather lose in a way that hurts us as little as possible and leaves our enemies, taken together, no better off. With that in mind, if we can't find a plan that somehow does what we need, maybe we could reduce the scope of a Gorn task force to countering Ashalla pact diplomancy attempts (letting the Gorn deal with a bunch of slavery tags for us by defeating the Ittick-ka in that imminent war), pull back from protecting the Trill, minimize commitments in the Breen war for now, and if we are still coming up short let the Harmony take the OSA and thus bog themselves down with integration/brainwashing and be less trouble elsewhere for a while.

Again, what do people think about committing another 40pp to pull up some more member world ships? It'd be a big investment, but might give us enough flexibility to deal with all our must-dos (get to work with the Gorn before the Cardassians or at least alongside with them, continue contesting Harmony influence, and somehow try to prevent the OSA war)
My plan already minimizes commitments to the Breen and makes no allowance for the Gorn. I'm actually troubled by this and am hoping to draw on a few more ships.
Do you consider having a task force work to protect the Dreamers this year more important than having a task force to oppose the Cardassians' efforts to affili
Its hard to tell but can we move some ships from the GBZ?
At the moment things there are quiet so a 2 or 3 ship TF, something to get our foot in.
Would like to reduce Garrison but I let you guys be the judge of that.
More member world ships are a must in this time. As for where we should lose I'm thinking just abandon Task Force Beyond's struggle against the Harmony in the straight diplo front and dedicate it to preventing the war. After all the war is being caused by the Harmony so if they get to the bottom of things we'll probably come out ahead.
Aside from that, Breen versus Gorn is plain hard, but I'm inclined to move the task force on the Trill to the Gorn because if the Gorn-Ittik-ka war happens the Trill will be stuck in it anyways. It'll still need more ships but it's something to start with.
In summary, jettison every task force that isn't essential, and add more ships.

Guess we aren't going to be able to do the Dreamer task force this year. I think it's definitely worth dumping all the PP this year on task forces outside the 5 diplopushes what with everything on fire again.
@Briefvoice, what's your justification for reinforcing Boldly and Forward? I would say if anything we should be weakening them, and certainly moving those diplo attachments from Forward to Peace or Royal.

I know people think we should be weakening task forces but this is what we need. Forest for the trees and all that, we need to keep pressure up on all fronts if doing so is feasible. We've know that Boldly needs a bit more oomph to keep the pressure on the Cardassians, and we were just told that the HoH is going to be reinforcing their TF opposing Beyond and also interfering in our peace efforts.
Remember that this is the last year before Federalization.
