Even our "budget" cruiser takes 1/5th of UE's entire industrial capacity.As part of the New Economy Transition Plan of 2164, the prototype budget was limited to 2.2 million Terran Credits, equivalent to 2.2 million Federation Credits, with an industrial footprint of 20% United Earth's annual capacity.
I read that as 2.2 million credits in total for a run of 10 ships. That means each ship is only 2% of the UE's entire industrial capacity.Even our "budget" cruiser takes 1/5th of UE's entire industrial capacity.

Imma just write in UFS, because I think it sounds better.
10 in the first batch. If they prove themselves in that 5 years I could see a second run of 10 being called for quite easily.Now I'm thinking of the magnificent FUS Ro Dah

I like this as the class' namesake so the Cygnet would be one of the ships built.

We could also lean into horse with something that's just fun to say but too long for combat so every ship would get a nickname, like all trusty horses do.

Dang on them only making 10, I was really hoping for something in the 20+ range per batch.
The prototype budget. An entire run of 10 ships isn't a prototype.I read that as 2.2 million credits in total for a run of 10 ships. That means each ship is only 2% of the UE's entire industrial capacity.
This is still the relatively early days, we're not quite the resource powerhouse that is the OTL UFP. Yet.Dang on them only making 10, I was really hoping for something in the 20+ range per batch.
