@OneirosTheWriter, this linked post really needs to be threadmarked into the "how this quest works" threadmark section. Explains a lot about how ship design works, and especially indicates what research is going to get us, and the costs of prematurely designing a ship.

Are refits like ship design projects, in that they're effectively research projects but with more limited parameters? Can we use this extended design time mechanics for them as well?

Nope. It's probably something that deserves to be stated in the game mechanics post, but Refits are allowed at the GM's discretion and they choose the stats that will be improved by them.

I know. Still does nothing for me. I want to do a ship name that means something to me as a reader.

And Challenger does?

It's about as generic a name as you can get.

Shuttle names are leading over Tellarite names, but split the vote.

Liking that post made me feel dirty. Good job.

Just think, I decided to give her the "Happy" ending. > :, (

OneirosTheWriter · Oct 16, 2016

Okay, vote closed!

USS T'Mir has been seconded to Starfleet Intelligence Command.
USS Miracht-B is about to be commissioned. A new ship will bear the name of the Tellar homeworld, and carry on the memory of its predecessor.

I see the Obsidian Order is making headway on their anti-Ka'Sharren psychological warfare program, which presumably consists of doing horrible things to the people who find Nash attractive until she goes away and stops being so pretty and blue.

Well, she IS going away, at least by default unless she stays in the pool and we re-select her? The 5 years are over at the end of this quarter. She won't stop being pretty and blue of course.

@OneirosTheWriter sorry to bug you but did we ever get the results of that court martial?

I'm pretty sure we're going to be sending her back out again for another 5YM, you don't just break up protagonist crews like that!

Might not have the option to, Seruk might promote her to Commodore or something.

The Darkest Timeline!

Then again Commodore Matt Decker was still out there doing exploring work so it wouldn't necessarily be The End

Hmm, right now we only have four Captains on the Panel of Captains who aren't already on 5YM. So if we have to replace all the current ones, we won't have any more choices to make. Though I guess Q4 promotions board changes are still to come.

I'm pretty in favor of giving Captain Rosalee McAdams her shot. After all experience as XO on a 5YM, she brings a lot of experience to the table.

She and Commander/Captain Ajam will be on the board. So we should be good for options with recent experience. We do have more Excelsior's coming along too.

I like her, but her bonus seems extremely situational. How many events happened where that bonus applied at all? I think just 1 across all 3 Explorers? So there is something like a 1/3 chance her bonus will be used so much as once during the entire 5 year mission?

Huh? Rosalee McAdams was an XO and is on her Honeymoon right now, we have no idea what her bonus is?

Edit: MY BAD. I FORGOT TO CHECK THE THING

Are you one of those who INSISTS on stringing up a captain who refused direct orders to KILL INNOCENTS? Yes I know there was a very good reason, doesn't change the nature of the orders at all.

Hell, in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't even seem to have mattered that much in the end, with all major infected ships accounted for and the biophage effectively wiped out, the only negative consequences for his actions are a list of "could-have-happened, but didn't".

True, but on the other hand it's arguably a roll where the consequences for failure are at their highest. And honestly, this isn't a choice where I feel particularly constrained to be maximally mechanically efficient. We like Rosalee, we've gotten to know her in various mission logs, and I want to see more of her.

Well, we aren't playing as a Vulcan, so...

HearthBorn · Oct 16, 2016

Hey folks, a quick thought on the Amarki and Betazoids becoming full members. Currently as advanced affiliates, they need D0. Do we have the ships available to provide D6 once they reach 500/500?

I was just curious what the result was in general.
