Well that and changing them is liable to cause your entire set-up to explode underneath you.

Edit: To elaborate, when your combat bonuses are no longer discounted by the Council and before the new doctrine eventually kicks in (these things don't change on a dime) then you're liable to get a lot of heat from the Council, plus you lose your combat bonuses and other goodies in the interim.

It would have been really nice to know that before calling the vote. Because I and a whole bunch of people read the lack of mutual exclusiveness while the tactical doctrines were mutually exclusive as meaning they could be stacked. And we had a decent discussion about which one to do first with no one thinking we couldn't stack Lone Ranger and Combined Fleet.

Mind you, I would still pick Lone Ranger. An Explorer heavy fleet will usually be outnumbered even in combined actions and still benefit.

Oh, I agree. Explorer plays to Starfleet's real ace cards: Goodie boxes from 5-year missions at peace and elite Explorer Corps capital ships when at war.

    Starfleet Personnel - Discipline

    The matter of Captain Michael O'Hara has finally been assigned to a Courts-Martial Board to determine if the officer was in dereliction of his duty during the events of the Battle of Arcoria III, leading to the loss of the SS Skegal. The matter will be keenly watched. Commodore T'Maris will preside over the Court Martial. The case against Captain O'Hara may swing on the ability and inclination of Commodore T'Faer to testify. The court-martial is expected to render judgement mid-to-late next year.

    Starfleet Personnel - Replacement

    From: Rear Admiral Seruk, Starfleet Personnel Command
    To: Admiral Vitalia Yukiko Kahurangi, Starfleet Command
    Subject: Chief of Staff

    Admiral,

    I trust this missive finds you well.

    As requested, I have investigated candidates for the position of Starfleet Command Chief of Staff, and located the following. I anticipate that you will find them satisfactory. Should any questions arise, I will endeavour to answer them. Otherwise, please advise this office of your selection.

    [ ] Commodore Rani Prakash
    Human Female, 60
    Current Posting: Headquarters Operations, Starfleet Operations Command
    Rani knows her way around Starfleet Command's Headquarters, and around a few Federation Organs as well. +5 Political Will per Year.

    [ ] Rear Admiral Sevok
    Vulcan Male, 79
    Current Posting: Commander, Starfleet Medical Command
    Sevok has spent the last five years commanding Starfleet Medical, and is ready for something of a sea change. +2 to any research tech involving medicine or crew survival.

    [ ] Rear Admiral Shey ch'Tharvasse
    Andorian Male, 58
    Current Posting: Commander, Starfleet Intelligence
    Shey still has ambitions in Starfleet, and despite being an appointee of your predecessor, has noticed which way the wind is blowing. +2 to Diplomacy results.

    Dutifully,
    Rear Admiral Seruk

    Continued Diplomatic Push

    Betazoids 285/500 + 3 = 288/500
    Amarki 279/500 + 9 = 288/500

    • Hmm so +2 to diplomacy rolls or +2 to medical tech and crew survival techs.

    [x] Rear Admiral Shey ch'Tharvasse

    I want us to get affiliates and full members more rapidly. So this is key.
     
    Mine is the kind of choice that is influenced by what happened with the Biophage.

    "We may have succeeded overall, but there were many who died. Never again."

    More diplomacy! More! Get those affiliates, get those members!

    We're going to be making diplomatic pushes on the Romulans soon and it looks like the Klingons may push for war with the Romulans. We need more diplomatic clout for this eventuality.
     
    [X] Rear Admiral Shey ch'Tharvasse

    Not only is the diplomacy bonus at least as good as the other options, we also bring an old guard admiral to our side for free and will be able to pick a new Intelligence head with their own bonus as well.
    Even if the direct bonus was the weakest this would still be the best option, and IMO it's actually the strongest.

    I like science, Prakash is kind of shit, and ch'Tharvasse has been consistently useless during his time in Intel.

    [X] Rear Admiral Sevok
     
    [X] Rear Admiral Shey ch'Tharvasse

    This is a double bonus. We get the Diplomacy bonus and it opens up the chance to appoint a new Intelligence Chief without spending political will on it.
     
    Wait, I thought ch'Tharvasse quit Starfleet Intelligence due to an omake reward?
     
    Rani gets us halfway to a diplomatic push each year; Shey gets us something like 10% of a diplomatic push on every push, and on the annual diplomacy rolls. Sevok just gets us a small push on Medical and a few other techs.

    [X] Rear Admiral Shey ch'Tharvasse

    I think he's the most relative benefit, even if that benefit's kind of spread out. And sure, intelligence hasn't done well, but we'll get a replacement sooner this way.
