[X] Recommend a three-ship run over the next five years. (-27.6 Industry)

With no other industry expenditure we would have enough in 5 years to build two NX class at the same time
 
So, by Season 2, the Max Speed was 5.2 and by Season 4 the Cruise Speed was 4.5.

As of Episode 1, Archer chooses an approximate cruise speed of Warp 4.

Our Cruise Speed is 3.8 and our Top Speed is 4.9.
I guess this is what we get for investing in industry instead of Warp Engines.

Lack of confidence in Yoyodyne in an era where such skepticism is not warranted coming back to bite us.

Those are both season 4 episodes. Enterprise is strongly implied never to stably hold Warp 5 until Season 2end/3start when it gets a LOT of refits.

I'm thinking three ship run. It's an impressive ship, but do we really need five more right now? Four total should be enough to fulfill our exploration and diplomatic needs for the near future.
I would rather build up our industry or spend it on building/refitting more workhorse ships.

uhm up gunned ship so less likely to get into unwinnable fights also far more industry to grow and build/refit other ships yes please

ps what would be the cost of 4 in 5?

Because there needs to be enough of an allrounder to do allrounder things.

We want time to address some of the teething issues with the Warp 5 engine before going full blast on production.

As has been stated before, industry compounds like a snowball. I'd rather have the ability to build some NXs AND upgrade the Stingrays. This would be immediately useful as it increases their power, range, and maneuverability. But it also might help in development of the Warp 5 engine as there will be a lot more warp 5 engines around and the configuration for the Stingray is for max speed. It may actually go past Warp 5 without modification and give information for overall development.

And, on top of that, have industrial growth so that we could build more ships at the end of the 5-year period. Compared to losing all that for an extra 2 NXs within this 5 year period.

Edit:

For math:
3 ship run industry at the end of 5 years: 100.4 Industry (Can do 2 NXs and still have leftovers)
5 ship run industry at the end of 5 years: 82 industry (Cannot)
Your math convinced me. I want to build 2/year eventually especially if that's in time for the Romulan war.

So, by Season 2, the Max Speed was 5.2 and by Season 4 the Cruise Speed was 4.5.

Sweet so by season 4 ours will cruise at Warp 4.7!
