Can we do a 2327 cruiser, instead?
Sure we can but that is a decision that needs to be made this year as we can get more tech ready for a 2327 cruiser build.
- Utopia Planitia [Skill 6 Cruiser/Capital Design]: 2310s Cruiser - Engineering [ETC 2322]
this one of the reasons we have to choose a year soon as i expect that after the HC the next ship designed will be an explorer
And we want this team ready to research the prototype as the other cruiser teams have 2 and 3 skill
- Generic Team 5 : 2320s Explorer - Combat [unchanged] *Derp* [ETC 2328]
Is an option for UP if we go for a 2325 design as UP will complete this in 2325
If we go for a later cruiser UP should research a cruiser subframe tech.
- Generic Team 4 : 1mt Escort Design [unchanged] *Derp* [ETC 2322]
A generic team can be placed anywhere but work benefit a lot from bonuses so i would put them on T4 engineering subframes for explorers so they get the research bonus from way of the anchor.
If we put UP on the 2320s Explorer - Combat i would put the Generic Team 5 on the T4 ops frame
- Daystrom Institute [Skill 6 Computing/Shields]: 2320s Ship Computer Cores [unchanged] [ETC 2322]
Can research the low SR variants of T3&T4 shields (that tech has 2 40 point parts) if we go for a 2327 cruiser.
But the stats of the low SR shields are unknown.
- Yoyodyne [Skill 6 Warp Tech/Starship Construction] : 2320s Core Efficiency [unchanged] [ETC 2322]
Will finish its project but i think this is the team that will complete replicators in time for the HC project.
Was looking at the list of teams and this is where i would put the non shipbuilding related teams:
- Herelund Tomographics Division [Skill 3 Sensors] : 2330s Phaser Tracking Sensors [unchanged] [ETC 2322] *Derp* (Eaton stays this year)
2320s Sensor Installations is on of the few sensor projects that can be started.
- Federation Broadcast Service [Skill 4 Communication/Xenopsychology]: 2320s Encryption [unchanged] [ETC 2322]
2 other Communication tech teams finish their projects and we could make this team to Xenopsychology to start working towards
Unified Psychological Model(T3 diplomatic packages, members at 400)
Options here are
2330s Active Diplomacy,
2320s Xenopsychology and 2320s Xenoarchitecture.
- Vulcan Science Academy [Skill 6 Xenopsychology/Sensors] : 2310s Xenopsychology [unchanged] [ETC 2322]
Keeps working on Xenopsychology
Other non ship tech teams finishing research are:
- Aerocommandos Research Corps [Skill 3 Personal] : 2320s Equipment [unchanged] [ETC 2322]
- Starfleet Science Academy [Skill 5 Computing/Communciation]: 2320s Colony Datanets [unchanged] *Derp* [ETC 2322]
- Starfleet Intelligence Office 44 (Diplomatic Analysis) [Skill 2 Communication/Foreign Analysis] : 2320s Signal Intercepts [unchanged] [ETC 2322]
- Admiral Lathriss [Skill 5 Fleet Design/Defensive] : Dispersed Industry [ETC 2322]
- Games & Theory Division [Skill 4 NOW 5 Foreign Analysis/Offensive] : Arsenal of Liberty *Derp* [ETC 2322] (with Uhura for this year)
