I think the federation should have some group capable at Xenopsychology, given that Diplomacy is their shtick. I'd like someone capable at Personal Tech, but given how terrible away teams seem to be equipped I can understand a decision otherwise; however, this would then become something I'd support fixing soonish. Lastly, I feel that your decision to have all doctrine handled by the single group "Starfleet Tactical Command - Games & Theory Division" is a missed opportunity. Instead, as in Hearts of Iron 2, I'd have doctrine be done by individual officers. This gives us a reason to pull good officers off their starships: turning them into good tech teams.

Maybe we should talk over our goals for long term fleet doctrine. That's as important as immediate resources.
@OneirosTheWriter offers the following options:
Lone Ranger Doctrine - If you want to focus on small numbers of big multi-megaton types as the core of your fleet
Swarm Doctrine - If you want to focus on Escort types anchored by a few heavy hitters
Combined Arms Doctrine - If you want to keep a mix of ships
For our defense fleet (as opposed to the exploration fleet), I favor the Swarm doctrine. Simplifying greatly, my logic is this. I like having options. When there's trouble in multiple places, it's much easier to spread a fleet of Escorts out over a wide area and balance them as appropriate to the threats. I don't value Light Cruisers very much. I think a Heavy Cruiser like an Excelsior anchored by a support group of Escorts is an effective and flexible fleet, and it's easy to split off the Escorts in their own small groups for missions requiring minimal firepower.
The main detriment is that you get less Defense for your total combat power, making it more difficult to garrison key worlds. But I think it's worth it.
@Nix for ship building, don't forget that we can also build to replace obsolete models with newer models. We have 4 Soyuz that can be retired just as soon as we build better Escorts to replace them, plus the Constitution as soon as we have an Excelsior that doesn't need to go into the Exploration Corps. And we can always spend poltiical will to straight up reduce miltiarization and allow more ships.

I know, that's why I mentioned replacements.
I don't think lowering militarization directly affects the combat limit, raising threat does though and costs the same.
We might also consider looking at more/upgraded starbases for defense without counting towards the combat limit.

Mmm, I'd prefer somewhere between Lone Ranger & Combined Arms. The massive defence value increase from the Cruisers is way too valuable given our crew restraints. Right now, we need three Centaurs to match an Excelsior for Defence Value. That actually results in a higher expenditure of both crew and resources.
Which is why I'd like to base our Defence around the Heavy Cruisers. Then give some extra padding with Escorts so that we can move firepower around as needed. It won't allow us to be quite as min-maxy with Combat distribution as if we were favouring Swarm, but it costs less and allows us to have a strong backbone.

Indeed. As far as I understand, in OTL Starfleet Starbases had the firepower to hold off an entire fleet all on their lonesome. It'd be nice to be capable of producing a Starbase that could handle the Defence requirements of Sol all on its lonesome. I'd expect it to cost a pretty penny though.
this quest is enabling your addition too much

I might add in a Diplomatic Service group - I'm just a wee bit wary of overloading the number of research groups. Might tweak preferences.
I might switch Tactical Command to Foreign Tactics focus instead and as officers finish their missions you can get specialised doctrine teams.
There is a reason that I talked about british tradtion and clearly they are already 90 days away from the spacedocks.

QM/N: 2020 update here - Friendly heads up, this variant of the Research phase has been replaced by different mechanics.
------------------
Stardate 20712.4
The Starfleet Ship Design Bureau was the somewhat innocuously named hub of all research within Starfleet. That in turn meant that the Vulcan Rear Admiral T'Laur was the hub of all research within Starfleet, for it her role to direct the technology teams of the Bureau. This was determined annually at a date late in the human calendar year, when T'Laur met with representatives of all the various technology teams and other Starfleet departments to iron out the assignments, and who would be allocated to Federation service for the coming year.
As the attendees of the meeting began to shuffle in a crimson tide of prestigious uniforms, wearing ever more fancy rank designs on their chests, T'Laur reflected to herself that what she was looking forward to most about her upcoming retirement was the promise of pure solitude. Then the fanciest rank device of them all walked in as Admiral Vitalia Yukiko Kahurangi entered the room with her entourage of aides, officers, and Yeomen in tow. T'Laur had heard good things about the Admiral, and wished her well in her service for the years to come. But for this meeting, T'Laur had a number of logical objectives to achieve and for her final year of service, she was not going to let anyone get in the way.
"I see we are all in attendance," announces T'Laur. "Then let us begin."
==========================================================
Current RP Pool = 35pt
10pts are required to activate a Tech Team
35 / 10 = 3 rem 5
3 Tech Teams may be activated, 5rp carry forward to next year
T'Laur would like to carry on research in the areas of:
With this in mind, T'Laur then looks at her roster of available tech teams.
The Vulcan Science Academy has "Sensors" as a preferred tech area, so their Skill will count for double against techs in this category, so T'Laur begins her vote with:
Next on the hit parade, T'Laur looks for a tech team that can handle "Computing". It so happens that the Daystrom Institute think they are pretty handy on that front, so T'Laur gives them the tick.
This leaves just Medical. Now, although T'Laur would like to eventually get Starfleet Medical to create a research team to work with her, at this stage it's no dice. Since she doesn't have a Medical specialist team, T'Laur looks for the highest skill team that remains. Spock may not be a doctor, but at Skill 4 he is a fine scientist and he no doubt knows a good doctor or two to join his team for the coming year. As a result, her final vote is:
Through the power of superior Vulcanbloody mindednesslogic and reasoning, T'Laur's vote is successful, and is implemented.
So voting is as simple as: count your tens, then pick an area, then pick a team!
=====================================
As a result of this infusion of research material, the Vulcan Science Academy is able to take to the Sensor research with a will. Now, there are three techs that make up the sensor category.
All three of these techs get the boost from the Tech Team's Skill, which is 3. However, because their Preference is also Sensors, they double their productivity.
Further, every tech team will give one field in their area an extra +5, because research is often about getting the right breakthrough. However, because science is unpredictable, this field is chosen at random. A roll of d3 = 3, so Enhanced Sensors 1 gets the +5. So at the end of the turn of research we get.
Enhanced sensors is not far away now!
This continues on to the other two tech areas, which nets us...
-and-
Spock does not have a preference for Medical, so he only applies his natural skill. Of course, because his natural skill is so high, he gives as much of a bonus as some teams do in their native area! Clearly, some people need to practice!

=====================================
As a result of this infusion of research material, the Vulcan Science Academy is able to take to the Sensor research with a will. Now, there are three techs that make up the sensor category.
Sensor Tech
0 / 20 SR Anti-Cloaking I - Chance of intercepting cloaked vessels before battle
0 / 20 Targeting Sensors I - (2% weight savings for combat)
0 / 20 Enhanced Sensors - (2% weight savings for Science)
All three of these techs get the boost from the Tech Team's Skill, which is 3. However, because their Preference is also Sensors, they double their productivity.
Further, every tech team will give one field in their area an extra +5, because research is often about getting the right breakthrough. However, because science is unpredictable, this field is chosen at random. A roll of d3 = 3, so Enhanced Sensors 1 gets the +5. So at the end of the turn of research we get.
Sensor Tech
0 + 6 = 6 / 20 SR Anti-Cloaking I - Chance of intercepting cloaked vessels before battle
0 + 6 = 6 / 20 Targeting Sensors I - (2% weight savings for combat)
0 + 6 + 5 = 11 / 20 Enhanced Sensors I - (2% weight savings for Science)
Enhanced sensors is not far away now!
This continues on to the other two tech areas, which nets us...
6 / 20 Data Analysis Center I (-1 RP required to activate Tech Team)
6 / 20 Targeting Computer I (2% weapon weight reduction)
6 / 20 Ship Computer Core I (2% Science weight/power savings)
11 / 20 Ship Operating System I (1% warp core power improvement)
-and-
4 / 20 Sickbay I (Improve Crew Survival Rolls)
4 / 20 Away Team Medical Equipment I (Improve Rolls for various Distress Call missions)
9 / 20 Infectious Diseases Lab I (Improve Plague handling rolls)
Spock does not have a preference for Medical, so he only applies his natural skill. Of course, because his natural skill is so high, he gives as much of a bonus as some teams do in their native area! Clearly, some people need to practice!

Just for clarity, that big research post is the tracking post which will be updated each in-game year with the results.
Everything seems clear enough how to make a vote for research? I think it's less scary than it might seem at first.

You have five left until next turn.

We definitely need Away Team Equipment I, because that's Uniforms With Pockets.

Explorer design is a must-have, considering we want togo all in on the five year missions, but where are we going Doctrinally? I personally favour Combined Arms, as it's the middle of the road does-everything doctrine that best fits the Federation (Swarm is for Klingons with their cheap birds.)

I agree that Combined arms is the best fit for the Federation. Because in the event of a war, we're going to call back in all our yuge explorers and will have to use them with the escorts and handful of cruisers that we keep around for basic defense.
It's best to keep that in mind when planning.
My priorities are:
- Computing (with Daystrom Institute) for '6 / 20 Data Analysis Center I (-1 RP required to activate Tech Team)'
- Communication (with Starfleet Science Academy) for '0 / 20 Research Net I (Gain +2 RP/turn)'
- Xenopsychology because Spock is awesome and I don't expect him to be reliably available forever
- Sensors with the Vulcan Science Academy or Warp Technology with Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems since those are the next two best teams.
- Everything else
Note that we currently have nobody with a specialty in any doctrine. I'd wait to see what our teams are good at, and in particular, what Captain Nash ka'Sharren's specialty is before deciding.

Romulans = Lone Ranger doctrine + cloak
Klingon = Swarm
Cardassians = Combined
Ferengi = ... Probably Lone Ranger with their Marauders
