Seems consensus was pretty strong on this one, with the exception of the Amarki shipping. Logistics, truly the most heated and dark part of this quest.

On another note, EVERYBODY GETS A RENAISSANCE.

YOU WANT A RENAISSANCE? YOU GET IT!

The design is coming out of the yards like hotcakes! We have plans to build a bunch and our member worlds are already hard at work on them, and now we're selling to not-even-members.

Looking at the stats [I'm not sure how BR/SR and crew stacks up] I wouldn't be surprised if the Rigellians will want to get a few as well as a complement/replacement for their turtleships. Wonder if they'd go for a refit/variant that adds +1 H or S, maybe at the expense of C.

SynchronizedWritersBlock · Apr 18, 2017

The Turtleship is a fantastic design though. It's more durable than the Rennie and Excelsior, and has better sensors than the Rennie. I would say it's competitive with the Renaissance unless for some reason its crew costs are unreasonable.

UbeOne · Apr 18, 2017

The Turtleship is not so good at responding to events though. Just 3 Defense?

SynchronizedWritersBlock · Apr 18, 2017

It's true, the D score is low, but the Rigellians also have a great patrol cutter to support it (S4/P4/D2, which in total is more effective than the Centaur-A), and they're a single-sector polity too. I really like how their fleet is built.

That was my thinking, actually. The Rennie could fit into a faster patrol cruiser role and also be a beefier cutter. Probably not an outright replacement unless it actually is cheaper in crew and BR/SR costs.

This is probably more relevant to them if they actually plan on expanding though. They might not need to worry about low speeds if they stick to their current space-geography.

SynchronizedWritersBlock · Apr 18, 2017

The Kepler as we've been conceiving it in the SDB thread is basically the Oda-Gach cutter taken to the extreme. They might have some interest in that.

UbeOne · Apr 18, 2017

~~Oh yeah, and isn't the Turtleship an Explorer while the Rennie is a Cruiser? They wouldn't really be directly comparable.~~

Edit: Never mind, that was the Megatortoise.

No, they're both cruisers. The Megatortoise is the capship equivalent.

2315.Q1.M1.F1

Rear Admiral Eaton's forces are already on the move, her Task Forces pushing out to see if they can draw out the Licori forces. Apparently so far, no dice, but if they don't come out to play, her paths will allow her to cut off Gammon from the rest of the Empire. Gammon, you are told, is where the first stroke will fall. Eaton wants to draw its defenders away, as even on their own a Starbase is a dreadful opponent, and she fully expects to lose ships in the process. As a result, she'll force House Kortennon to respond, or else wither on the vine.

You know Eaton, though. If she has to spend those ships, those lives, to win out, then she will do so. After all, the woman was almost a legend for being close to the only Starfleet captain to routinely walk about with a phaser pistol set to kill.

On the home front, the news of the war has hit the population of the Federation like a struck bell. On the streets of San Francisco people are walking into lamp posts in a daze. One of your Vulcan staff officers likened the atmosphere back on that planet to something more akin to central American holonovellas than the Vulcan he expects. And they say Vulcans can't tell jokes; you had to shift your 1500hrs appointment after he said that to let you compose yourself again. But by and large there is stunned disbelief that no diplomatic solution could be found. The Licori, after all, bear little resemblance to the Klingons, or the intractable Cardassians for that matter. Heat will come Starfleet's way soon. Days of protest are already swarming through the streets of the old core of the Federation. And this is without casualties or lost member world ships.

Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea, then.

Win fast, win cheaply, secure lasting peace. The public want all three but your experience tells you that it's going to be a case of pick two.

=====================================

State of Emergency, 2315.Q1.M1.F1 (Turn 7 of State of Emergency)

You are currently operating in a State of Emergency.

This entails an increased operational tempo and an increase to available assets.
These assets usually will require no additional resources from Starfleet, as you are directing the resources of a Federation that does not embrace money. Any additional requirements will be noted on the actions themselves. The most notable brake on your mobilisation of assets comes from their effect on the war support of the various member groups. You have already been provided control over a large fraction of fleet assets from the member worlds nearest the LBZ, but more can be requisitioned.

This State of Emergency will endure until such time as the cause of the crisis is resolved. In this case, until the Mentats of the Arcadian Empire no longer poses a threat to the Federation.

Assets that you can employ to conduct relations with other nearby powers, such as the Ked Paddah, the Honiani, the Laio, the Gaeni, and others.
Engineering Teams: Engineering Teams

Field deployable units consisting of Engineering Ships, construction crews, and the like. They are capable of conducting operations abroad in unsettled systems.

@OneirosTheWriter , should "Starfleet Engineering Command" still be on the list of things we can call up?

There are still two more Engineering Ships - however, removing them from circulation will have consequences (and I just updated the option list to include them).

Engineering command has six engineering ships. Two are in the GBZ, two were deployed last month, so we could requisition their last two. It would mean no construction elsewhere though.

Edit: Lecarred by GM

Glassware · Apr 18, 2017

So, we want probably one more external diplomacy team, right? And I think after this we can reassign an internal team since our initial mobilizations are complete. We probably want Abnett too.

Ahh. I understand now. Well, that's an option we should seriously consider- but we may want to hold off on doing that at least until the 2315Q2 snakepit.

We already have one external diplomacy team 'loose' this turn for reassignment. I think we should hold off another turn, unless we KNOW we're going to need three running at all times.

Me, I'm going to argue for calling up a third engineering/industry pair. Two teams of each kind lets us build up our border defenses, but still relatively gradually (there are a significant number of things we could do, that will perforce be left totally undone until mid-year or later). Furthermore, we may have a lot of repairs to accelerate by the start of the second quarter or so... The big-ticket item here is the engineers. I'm drawing on Andor for them because they are not directly involved in the fighting, so their war support is likely to take fewer random hits over time. We don't want support on Earth or Tellar to collapse to anywhere near Vulcan/Betazoid levels or we're really in the soup.

Costs:
5 to Starfleet (155 -> 150)
10 to Andor (97 -> 87)
5 to Earth (130 -> 125)

Didn't we have a plan for that External diplomacy team that's unassigned? I want to say it was something to do with Gaen.

I believe the plan was 1 engineering, 1 heavy industry, and the remaining doctrine specialist.

We do want an external team but it's not urgent.

[x] Plan Engineers, Industry, Doctrine
-[x] East Asian Productivity Commission - Heavy Industry (5 Cost to Earth, gain Heavy Industry asset)
-[x] Gorc Belth Colonial Engineers - Engineering Team (10 Cost from Tellar, gain Engineering Team with 2 Engineering Ships, 3 Cargo Ships, 1 Freighter)
-[x] Retired Vice Admiral Lachlan Ablett - Doctrine Specialist (5pt Cost to Starfleet, gain Doctrine Specialist)

Taken from our highest war support. I'd rather have the Tellarite engineers than the Andorians given the difference in support. The Tellarites also have an extra cargo ship of supporting assets.

What would we use another external team for? We've got Gaen to join us, and we're working on the Ked Paddah. We've got a free team to do a diplo push or coordinate with the Laio if we want. We should get some more Recon assets, get Ablett for Doctrine, and then get some Heavy Industry teams to help rush repairs.

More engineers is probably the most crucial given that we want to start sensor projects.
