Big Thank You to @Gravitas Hunt. Although he's super-busy and the deployment app isn't in a perfect state, it was usable enough to shuffle ships around and create me a bbcode output of where they were for a single quarter, which was immensely preferable to not having that baseline.

Also big kudos to @Briefvoice for the insane amount of work he puts into this, that not only means he produces a deployment every year but also that everyone else can piggyback off of it. It took me a solid 2.5 hours to go from a deployment baseline to adjusting it for new federalization to listing all the task forces in complete form. And I was cheating by using one of his old TF lists and his attachment work.

Are we allowed to requisition ships from allies? It would be kinda neat to get the Sydraxians involved with TF Chorus, given their musical inclinations.

@SynchronizedWritersBlock, FYI @Briefvoice added a few more attachments to his plan right before you posted yours; you may want to see if any of them look interesting to you.

I have added several attachments that increased cost by 33pp.

Oh, I hope that doesn't bite us in the ass. On the upside, you've got Keplers in the Romulan and Klingon border zones for anti-cloaking work - that's the primary reason we kept Excelsiors out there anyways. Plus you've got five ships in Sol, so there's definitely serious coverage...

I'm aware that BV's plan will probably win by sheer inertia, but I like to encourage diversity.

It's the stupid sexy Alluppi mission. It sucks up Excelsior and task force attachments like a vampire.

Get Kahurangi and Chen up on the time machine and tell them to build me another 6 Excelsiors :(


e: OH, I should add, one thing I tried to do was account for distance in a kind of glance-at-map sanity check, because it seems the GMs are doing the same. Which is why I did a bit of an Excelsior shuffle instead of ramming the Salnas straight into the Hishmeri again, and why I felt the Basilica of Lakphet is best not sent across an entire quadrant.

The Dreamers probably aren't necessarily a priority right now but I can't not vote for a Dreamer task force sorry

I would like to see BV's additional attachments added however, because, well, screw the Cardassians

Guys, come on! This is supposed to be the year of "Fuck Cardassia."

The Dreamers are in the opposite direction, on the opposite side of Federation space.
 
The Dreamers aren't a priority until the Breen start shit with them, then they're an emergency. Just because the Cardassians have stuck a bee in our bonnet doesn't mean we have to drop everything else we're carrying. In fact, we definitely shouldn't. We can give a strong response without causing ourselves more trouble through short-sightedness.
 
Waited a bit to see the options. The Space Whales tempt me, but...I think BV's does more of what I want to see.

@SynchronizedWritersBlock I would suggest adding Hortance to the Dreamer task force, with all the science rerolls, we should get at least one or two good quarters to net pp.
 
Re: Raid attachments, I've added Yan-Ros Rangers to ROYAL, and Intelligence Joint Operations to SECURITY so that we can beat up some Obsidian Order hideouts (and maybe some slavers afterwards).

I did not take Orion Aerocommandos as they're best as a finisher somewhere: their yearly cost is more than their upfront cost so you ideally only want to take them for 1y. I did not add Amarki Gendarmes as I don't think we'll be doing much peacekeeping.

And yes, fair case for Hortance, if we get one hit he pays for himself.

@SynchronizedWritersBlock
Can we remove 3 ships from these TF's to send to trill to keep an eye on them?
-[X] Task Force: Security
Ships:
  • Explorers: 1 Excelsior-A [Liberty], 1 Amarki Riala-A
  • Cruisers: 2 Renaissance [Pralim, Mugat]
  • Frigates: 1 Centaur-B [Zephyr (B)], 2 Amarki Centaur-B
  • Notes: 7 Ships

-[X] Task Force: Goodfoot
Ships:
  • Explorers: 1 Excelsior-A [Discovery]
  • Cruisers: 2 Renaissance [Insight, Reason]
  • Frigates: 2 Indorian Centaur-B [ICS Foundry, ICS Thunderer], 1 STO Centaur-B
  • In 2324.Q3, add 1 STO Kepler.
  • Notes: 6 Ships, 7 Ships in 2324.Q3
I was thinking of a pair of centaurs from goodfoot and a Renaissance from Security.
As the ship design board was asked recently about designs for their fleet and that included 2Mt explorers, what means they have a strong fleet that can help us on that border.
This is also to keep make sure nothing strange is going on at Trill and it would get us a base between the federation and the Gorn.

We do have one last Excelsior launching from Luna at the end of this year. As well, Atuin will be moving out of EC at that time too. So there's 2 more Excelsiors for next year's deployment plans.

Technically three - the Vulcan's sponsored one that is being built in an Amarki berth - as a result it doesn't show up on BVs ship yard tracker so we have to keep it in mind.
 
Yes, between our own yards and the last big ticket spenders of the Federal fleets, we have 14 Capital ships currently under construction. 2 Excelsior-As and 12 Ambassadors. Plus whatever our non-Federal members have been working on. (I guess they got wind of the Federal plans before we did, as before we became aware of it, the original four all paid for new capital projects - 3 Ambassadors and 2 Excelsiors between them. I mostly remember it because I was at the time, asking why the Humans and Vulcans were starting new Excelsior builds)

There are plenty of minor polities out there that struggle to have 14 ships in their entire fleet.

Even if there's no explicit peacekeeping needed on the mission, the Amarki Gendarmes have good synergy with the culture of the Aluppi. At least to the point that both cultures have vague or less vague feudal trappings, and both enjoy a good sord fite. If we have an escort of Gendarmes along to events they should be able to provide some benefit there, at the minimum being able to fight on our crews behalf if we get challenged, and I think challenges will be happening.

Also, TF Dreamer might benefit from Lt. Cmdr. Sadd-Har's Cadet Field Training Team: 3pp on purchase, 3 pp per year. Effect: Increased experience gain for missions involving S rolls?
It's more of a 'nice to have', but for a TF that's going to be doing a lot of Science, it'd be nice. Might mean shifting around more SF ships to the TF to maximize XP gain though.
