[x] UEF Stingray, for the aquatic creature that her flared half-saucer makes her resemble.
 
Interesting change in stats, but it makes sense to separate them out like that when we're actually working to define the starfleet combat style.
I do notice that impulse apparently isn't covered by anything except the overall tactical rating, I feel like the sublight engines' capabilities should be something explicitly noted as well.

I think this ship turned out... good

Next, lets get some huge ass science ships up in in this biz.

I'm talking fairly high cruise speeds, bad at sprinting, and less manoeuvrable than the average brick.

[fortunately, or guns turning out so well means that we can slap a few on the hull and forget about spending space on torpedoes.]
Unless I misread the update.

I like this idea, mostly because building a science ship means we can leave the spacers alone for even longer and maybe they can be an interesting quirk of this version of Humanity. At least until the Federation is founded at least, I cannot see them lasting too much longer after that.

Nevermind, went through and and looked in show and wiki and it was 80-500 gigajoules. It was just an incorrect conversion on some wiki page I saw last month or so when I was looking something up about the pulsed version. My bad. Should have looked the numbers up again before I said anything.

Yeah leave the boomers alone :V

That's true for any Greek mythology name really. People love to name stuff after Prometheus for example, yeah he stole fire from the Gods and give it to Humanity, but he has his liver eaten for the rest of eternity for that. Wild to name something after that.

Eh, he was freed by Heracles eventually, so it all worked out.

(Note to self: if we design a Prometheus science vessel, design a matching escort called the Heracles.)

2146: Project Daedalus (Investment)

    • [X] UES Stingray, for the aquatic creature that her flared half-saucer makes her resemble.

    The UES Stingray launches with much applause and celebration, though the ship is unlikely to leave Sol for many years. It nonetheless provides a certain amount of in-system security that has been sorely lacking. You wouldn't find any other spacefaring species unable to defend their own homeworld, and if Earth wants to join that club then it needs to be prepared to do that.

    The phase cannons were certainly worth requesting an acceleration of their development, and the new impulse thrusters now coming out of the labs and getting ready for field tests look attractive in their own right. So while the Stingray enters service and generates the useful reports that will demonstrate how the design and your manufacturing techniques hold up under prolonged use, other eyes are turned firmly to the future.

    On the one hand, you could request further investment into another prototype technology. On the other hand, that same investment could be used to set up more factories and manufacturing systems for your own use. Some inquiries suggest that an up-and-coming company called Yoyodyne is making some interesting steps in warp coil technology that could benefit from having an extra injection of funds. Alternatively a new industrial shipyard in Iowa could provide some welcome overhead as you spin up capacity for the NX project.

    Maybe if we intervene and get them off on the right foot they won't curse us 200 years down the line.

    [ ] Type 1-B Warp Coils (Prototype)
     
    On the one hand warp coils would be GREAT

    On the other hand, extra industry could pay dividends in the future and we'd not be helping yoyodyne yo yoyodyne us.....

    Tough choice.
     
    I do appreciate this quest having gained some coherency beyond just doing stuff on vibes and coolness.
