I'd rather have more berths than we need than find ourselves short when we suddenly need every patroller we can get to fight the blorg.

@OneirosTheWriter can we request an Excelsior Berth at a Shipyard we're only just starting?

If you want them at the Sol system, wait for UP and the very cheap expansion we were promised. We are already doubling our current capacity with my plan.

I dunno if planning to fight the Borg is the best idea. The Federation is never gonna allow the level of militarization necessary to defend against he Borg until we have to defend against the Borg.

And unless something goes very, very wrong, we're not going to encounter the Borg for decades should things go like in canon.

Why double when you can more than double?
It'll be real nice to have the capacity to support a veritable swarm of lighter ships next time shit gets fucked in space. If there's a ship a day away from any concievable incident, it doesn't matter too much if it's only a small ship. It represents the capacity to potentially nip problems in the bud. Plus, having more ships means having more commands avaliable, which means more opportunities for ambitious and awesome people to make names for themselves and become Space Heroes.

Yes, you can do that.

Actually didn't we just damage our ability to get a more military focused SF? Considering the Klingons are at peace with us and the Council now has in with the Romulan Senate?

- Because we can do that cheaper in the future.
- Because being thought of as a racist is bad.
- Because berths without the resources to run them or the manpower to crew the ships they build are sort of useless (even for repairs you at least need to be able to also make up for crew losses and outside a crisis they also cost resources. Perhaps in the next crisis as well if the mechanics are reworked). My plan addresses that by also increasing our income and recruitment (academy and budget increase as well as accelerating member accessions).

Not really, we just got a huge boost to our max Combat value. We've got lots of room to work with there on having a strong Starfleet.

Because we are already massively expanding our shipyard capacity, but without the requisite budget and recruit increase those things are useless. We need the academy and budget expansions, but more importantly we need to increase our full member count for a really large permanent increase to both.

Mmm, I'm still going with my Aftermath of War. I think those Starbases make Fleet Concerns much easier to handle, especially given that our D requirements are going up.

What happens if the expansion finishes before the shipyard itself? Does it stay inactive?

It's entirely possible that we'll butterfly Q's asshole "toss the Enterprise right where it'll inform an extinction-level threat about the Federation" shenanigans somehow.
@OneirosTheWriter What happens when a Federation Affiliate's Diplomacy total reaches 500? I assume they become full members of the Federation, but what benefits does that provide, both for the race and for Starfleet?

Has been answered before. We get an income increase (br, sr, pp, rp, academy intake as appropriate) and possibly some of their infrastructure and/or tech teams. Also full tech sharing in both directions, and presumably they get a seat on the Federation Council.

Correct. The berth may be there but without the supporting infrastructure of the shipyard itself it sits idle.

On one hand, I like the Renaissance project more than the Constellation Refit - it's cheaper in pp cost, and with the more-experienced Light Cruiser design team, should only take about 4 years to complete the project (and then another six to build the prototype, admittedly).
On the other hand, we do have a bunch of Constellations around.
That being said, I prefer the Centaur refit. A new escort project is a ways away, would take longer to develop, and is more expensive in pp; a Centaur refit would be a pretty darn good escort.
All that being said, any refit programs or new design programs could probably wait. (not too long, ideally - I rather like the Renaissance class.)
So...
