[X] UFS Everest, named for mountains.
[X] UFS Sagarmāthā

For such a mountainous ship, I can't think of a more fitting and majestic name.

It is the judgement of this report that the Copernicus (NX-900) meets these requirements under-budget. Details follow.

Damn, that's near enough a miracle!

In concordance with the findings of this review and in consultation with Starfleet Command, Supervisor San Francisco authorises one (1) production run of five vessels, further orders to be reviewed after a performance analysis in five years.

Yeah baby! That's as much as the first run of Galaxy-class starships!

I mean, we basically built a modernized Thunderchild and then attached a bunch of science labs to her. A strong start to the Star Fleet tradition of exploration ships that can kick your battleship's ass.
 
[X] UFS Beagle, named after ships of exploration.
[X] UFS Sagarmāthā
Voting against the people-names, though I have a preference for Beagle

...We went nearly all out on everything and still came in below Starfleet's expected costs?

but remains prohibitive. Accordingly the Copernicus is awarded one point out of eleven for both civilian and starfleet cost metrics, resulting in a D- in these sectors.

Never mind then. Heh. On the other hand, we chose well enough in protection. tactical, and SCIENCE! capabilities that we still get some nice kudos from Starfleet for making a good hull. A run of 5 vessels for the first batch for something this ungodly expensive is actually a feather in our cap imo.

Sniffing out new things to do SCIENCE! on one system at a time.

Super glad for that computer core synergy with the specialized labs. With her amazing pathfinding, I wonder what wild events she's going to stumble into.

Under-budget but still expensive? Ah, either they expected the final cost score, or they budgeted for more problems during the production of the initial ship.
 
Honestly I expected 3 ships, 5 is great.

Anyway, obligatory animal ship name joke.

[X] UFS Olympus Mons, named for mountains on planets other than Earth.

I like the idea of naming it after mountains, but this is an exploration ship. Everest is just way too close to home.

I am imagining a ship with long armatures that fold out into a full on spacedock capable of doing intensive ship repair on the fly.

I was sort of imagining a half-saucer with a very large/long inline secondary hull 'neck' that has space to dock a compact escort, so that if needed the mothership can even go to warp with at least one clamped on without messing up the warp field.

Well, I suspect that Starfleet is OK with this because it's not ONLY an exploration vessel, but also this ship generation's thunderchild and will be the linchpin of our fleet if a war breaks out anytime soon. It's a dreadnaught with a day job as an explorer. We made some really critical development progress with the photon torpedoes, significantly better hull material, and even pushed up a new thruster design that performed adequately despite being rushed.

Nah, picture something that looks like a normal ship with a full saucer when not deployed. With the flip of a switch four slices of the saucer separate and it is revealed that they are actually giant boom arms, that fully extended are twice as long as the saucer. The boom arms are covered in tractor beam emitters capable of catching anything between them in extremely delicate and powerful tractor beams and cutting phasors all powered by direct EPS conduits running down the arms allowing the ship to tear down and rebuild starships as well as a spacedock.

Imagine the capability to just fully remove a broken nacelle from a ship and open it up for repairs, to pull the armor off something and do repairs to it's warp core. Things that you would normally need dock time for done in whatever system a ship needs them to happen in.
