Let's go through this. This is SWB's deployment plan compared to mine. My plan is
here and his is
here.
OVERALL: I want more Keplers for TFs than he does. Attaching a Science ship to TFs if good practice if you can, and they're also a good diplomatic vessel. But he wants them on garrison instead.
Tailwards Theatre - Two Renaissances in Theatre fleet (will not be responding to events so are basically unused) // My plan had none
Sol Sector - One of our busiest sectors, often gets two or three events a quarter. 5 ships, no Excelsior // My plan had 5 including an Excelsior
Vulcan - FEDERALIZED SECTOR. Only 3 ships, fucked if an Event missed. // My plan had 4 ships
Andor - FEDERALIZED SECTOR. Only 3 ships, fucked if an Event missed. // My plan had 4 ships
Rigel - 3 ships and Messed up. Has a ship going into refit that is not going into refit. // My plan had 3 ships
Okatha - 3 ships. // My plan had 3 ships
Paddah - 3 ships // My plan had 3 ships
RBZ - No Excelsior, down to 4 ships // My plan had 5 ships. (did give up Excelsior for Goodfoot)
KBZ - No Excelsior, down to 4 ships // My plan had 4 ships (gave up the Excelsior).
LBZ - 4 ships // My plan had 5 ships. Also I did not have a Kepler because I wanted it for Task Forces.
HBZ - 5 ships // My plan had 5 ships. Also I did not have a Kepler because I wanted it for Task Forces
Tailwards Theatre - Two Renaissances in Theatre fleet (will not be responding to events so are basically unused) // My plan had none
Tellar Sector - FEDERALIZED SECTOR. Only 3 ships, fucked if an Event missed.
Amarkia - 3 ships // My plan had 3 ships
Ferasa - 3 ships // My plan had 3 ships
Alukk - 3 ships; makes a substitution that is unnecessary and incorrect since he thinks a shit in Rigel is going into refit when it isn't. // My plan had 3 ships
SBZ - 4 ships // My plan had 4 ships. Also I did not have a Kepler because I wanted it for Task Forces.
Ruby Eyes - 4 ships, one an Excelsior // Identical to my plan
SpinwardsTheatre - Two Renaissances in Theatre fleet (will not be responding to events so are basically unused) // My plan had none
Apinae - 3 ships // My plan had 3 better ships because Apinae has more worlds than most sectors.
Rethelia - 4 ships // My plan had 3 ships; I presume he's making the mistake of not taking into account reduced event rate from the new border zone.
CBZ - 5 ships // My plan had 5 ships. Also I did not have a Kepler because I wanted it for Task Forces.
GBZ - 5 ships, but he switched in an Oberth. // I have 5 ships, but left the Oberth as a Miranda.
S-CBZ - 5 ships // My plan had 5 ships. Also I did not have a Kepler because I wanted it for Task Forces.
TF Beyond
SWB takes away one of Thuir's ships, a Honiani Reliquary. He's also playing silly buggers with drafted ships, pulling them in and out mid-year so he can send newly completed Keplers from Member fleets. I'd prefer not to pull those shennanigans.
TF Royal
SWB gives Leaniss one less ship; a Centaur-B. I switched out the "intelligence team giving you ship designs" for the "harder raid events" asset, since we have Yan-Ros and all.
TF Righteous
SWB does not send the Basilica of Lakepht instead leaving it in Beyond and sending another Excelsior. He does not give them the following two assets, which I think could be very useful:
- Starfleet Intelligence Field Intel Team: 5pp on Purchase, 5pp per year. Effect: Enables extra event types.
- Amarki Gendarmes: 5pp on Purchase, 5pp per year. Effect: +1C for Away Team action, fulfills a Peacekeeper requirement attached to a Mission or event
TF Security
SWB tries to have cake and eat too by basically making the anti-slavery team go do the Ashididi mission first. I think that's a bad idea; designing a TF for a mission other than the one it's doing. I also want to have the STO cruisers on the anti-slavery mission, because C is an important score. No Kepler either.
TF Goodfoot
Again, no Kepler until Q3.
TF Dreamer
Spends ships we can't afford on it.
TF Chorus
I packed it with Starfleet ships to take advantage of Vol Chad's bonus, but he doesn't do that.
