Some small under 400kt escorts from member fleets

Patroller-A [371k t] C2 S3 H1 L3 P2 D2 (two of those may be a choice over larger frigate for missions that require area coverage)

Risan Light Corvette[370k t] C1 S1 H1 L1 P3 D3 (will get +1S, 1P, +1D after refits. 4 Presence ship for 0.25 points can be viable for some task forces.)

I can see the Light Corvette A Giving the Patroller-A stiff competition on the export market.

From: Vice Admiral Rachel Ainsworth, Commander, Starfleet Explorer Corps
To: Admiral Hikaru Sulu, Starfleet, Commanding

Subject: Explorer Corps Panel of Captains


Hello Admiral,

I appreciate your continued faith in my services leading the Explorer Corps.

The USS S'Harien and USS Atuin have completed their refits, and the USS Courageous and USS Voshov have completed their Five Year Missions. Voshov is going in for refit, but the other three are preparing for their next mission.

Captains Sulu and Sabek have both requested to remain on the panel for a second Five Year Mission. We also welcome one new officer to the Panel: Zara ka'Athnon, whose recent extradimensional work showcases her exploratory spirit.


Captain Jeanette Devereaux
Human Female, 45
Current Assignment: Captain, USS Sojourner
A science division officer at heart, Captain Devereaux is in rare company among officers for protesting being assigned the brand-new Typhoon over the old Suvek. +1 S, +1 to First Contact missions

Captain Percival Amin
Human Male, 46
Current Assignment: Deputy Director, Mission Control Room, Starfleet Operations Command
A man with a surprising knack for finding himself in dangerous areas, but who learned much from Rear Admiral Uhura. One of the very few fluent non-Vulcan speakers of that language. +1 L, +1 to any internal diplomacy.

Captain Shurg kap Klasch
Tellarite Female, 51
Current Assignment: USS Reason
Possesses a legendary devotion to her crew, keeping them safe no matter the odds. 50% chance of nullifying a crew casualty, +1 to any event involving medicine.

Captain Sabek
Vulcan Male, 59
Current Assignment: Captain, USS Courageous
Even by Vulcan standards, Sabek has nerves that could put warp core housing to shame. +1 C, +1 D, +5% Evasion

Captain Zara ka'Athnon
Andorian Female, 44
Current Assignment: Captain, USS Pathfinder
A woman whose exploratory spirit is second to none, Captain ka'Athnon is unafraid of any situation. +1 S, re-roll failed Anomaly mission results.

Captain Hassan Aharani
Human Male, 43
Current Assignment: Captain, USS Avandar
A man of legendary patience, Captain Aharani has played a major role in shaping our early response to the Harmony of Horizon. +1 P, +1 to any internal diplomacy.

Captain Demora Sulu
Human Female, 50
Current Assignment: Captain, USS Voshov
A woman who feels she was born for the stars, Captain Sulu has completed a successful Five Year Mission and is ready for more when her ship returns from refit. Gain +1 P, re-roll any diplomacy test in Federation space, +1 to Espionage attempts, re-roll event hull checks

Captain Abigail Taggart
Human Female, 46
Current Assignment: Captain, USS Endurance
A protege of Victoria Eaton, Captain Taggart's polite demeanor belies an astonishing facility at combat. +1 C, +1 H.

Captain Jennifer Zhang
Human Female, 42
Current Assignment: Captain, USS Spirit
Patient, meticulous, and insightful, Jennifer Zhang has spent years far afield from the Federation both on Enterprise and as part of an officer exchange with the Honiani. Since her return she has served capably as captain of USS Challorn. Re-roll any failed diplomacy roll, +1 P, +1 H


[ ][FYM1] USS Atuin Captain
[ ][FYM2] USS Courageous Captain
[ ][FYM3] USS S'Harien Captain

Sorry, @LeilaHann is stuck with poor wifi and we didn't want to show any sort of favoritism, so no art on this one.

[X][FYM1] Captain Abigail Taggart

Put Abby on the Atuin, why not. Solid combat bonuses help boost a non-elite ship.

[X][FYM2] Captain Jeanette Devereaux

She has good bonuses and she served under Rosalee McAdams on the Courageous. A former officer coming back to captain the Courageous, a ship that's very traditional, seems right.

[X][FYM3] Captain Demora Sulu

And Sulu can continue on the S'harien.


We also welcome one new officer to the Panel: Zara ka'Athnon, whose recent extradimensional work showcases her exploratory spirit.

I know those logs were supposed to be cute, but as far as I'm concerned she's a crazy woman who has no ability to balance her curiosity with common sense. Sort of the anti-Thuir

So, Sulu's a must. Fan favorite and quite possibly the strongest captain we've ever had mechanically.

Zhang is amazing - +H is by far the worst +stat, but she's also got +P and a hilariously broad reroll.

ka'Athnon is strictly better than Devereax - Anomalys are MUCH more common than First Contacts, rerolls are better than +1, and her bonuses synergize.

Taggart's meh. +C +H is not good for an EC ship, especially with +C +D +Evade on offer. A good chunk more evasion will do more to boost combat survival than the Hull.

IIRC thread agreement was to give Zhang an Amby.

[x][FYM1] Captain Hassan Aharani
[x][FYM2] Captain Zara ka'Athnon
[X][FYM3] Captain Demora Sulu

So, we know we want Zhang for captain. The question is give him a ship now, or wait for the Enterprise or Ambassador?
Wait.

I'm SORELY tempted to save the other for ka'Athnon because holy shit rerolls on the most common hazardous Science mission and +1S is all kind of bonkers. Don't think I will, though.

Taggart's a great character, but mechanically she's pants because her bonuses basically never trigger outside of MAXIMUM CRISIS and we aren't at high enough level crisis for that. IF we could add EC ships to the anti-EE task force I'd give Sabek Courageous and Abby one of the others and stick them into Burgandy. But that's not a remotely viable option.

Aharani gets a slot for Avandar's antics. Also because that's a damn bonus.
 
[x][FYM1] Captain Hassan Aharani
[x][FYM2] Captain Zara ka'Athnon
[X][FYM3] Captain Demora Sulu

The weird part is I'm not voting this way because of the bonuses at all.

Hassan Aharani was one of the captains that brought the Avandar from obscurity to prominence. He's done a lot for us already and I look forward to seeing him on a 5YM.

Zara ka'Athnon I just want to see more of. She's fun.

And Sulu is Sulu. Her work with the Sydraxians was A+.
 
This is the conversation from earlier I was referencing:

So I just want to alert the thread of something that we plotted out on Discord.

We complete prototype phaser arrays this year, and we can then fit it onto a ship just like our isolinear computers. That option will be available 2321.Q1, as in next MWCO. The Enterprise launches in 2321.Q4. We have a 3mt berth available at 40E that's awaiting the Tellarite Amby and isn't likely to be put to use. Sending her for a 1Q refit for prototype phaser arrays brings her launch date to 2322.Q1 and avoids delaying the Amby wave since it doesn't use the UP berth.

Now here's the rub. Captain Leaniss of the Tarrak completes her first 5YM in 2321.Q4 and is available for another ship in 2322.Q1, one quarter too late to be granted the Enterprise. But if we delay the launch of the Enterprise's 5YM by one quarter...
I'd rather Zhang get the Enterprise, personally.
Zhang for Enterprise.
I don't mind that either, although I'd like to promote Zhang to the EC sooner rather than later.
We could give the USS Ambassador the prototype phasers and make Leaniss the captain unless people already have the Ambassador's captain picked out.
Will installing prototype phaser array give a +C stat buff?

This works for me. The USS Ambassador was meant to be the prototype ship anyway. And I prefer Zhang for Enterprise C too.

Keep Zhang for TF Jade and then Enterprise C.

Sulu's good, but as I recall she's had an FYM already and hasn't saved the Federation to earn a second one.
