We can afford to lose operatives. We cannot afford to lose excelsiors.

Besides which, waiting for the Anaxa to go offline gives Baron Pedofat more time to try something stupid like sending ships on a mission outside of the Gamon system. He probably won't, but as I'm fond of saying; never deny your enemy the opportunity to make mistakes.

With our crazy luck, they'd probably get it back up and running before our fleet arrived.

Would that 'mission' be to blow up a star?

Assuming that blowing up a star can be done with small research vessels? The ideal time to launch such a mission would be after we've begun the invasion, when our ships are busy fighting his defenses and there's plenty of chaos to get lost in. We'll have to cross that bridge either way.
 
[x][GAM] Attack when sure the weapon is destroyed

we have another war on the horizon in a few years. we can't afford to risk losing too many ships.

So, just to keep track of what the Gaeni have been up to over this whole crisis... annotated the Gaeni status section with start and completion dates:
Article:
Illuminated Technocracy of Gaen

Recon Units
Inid Uttar Institute (Runabouts + Research Cruiser) - Assigned to Gaen [since at latest 2314.Q4.M2]
Nitta Oian Institute (Runabouts + Research Cruiser) - Assigned to Thunti [since at latest 2314.Q4.M2]

External Diplomacy Teams
Technocracy Interstellar Ministry - Attempting to demonstrate the difference between Gaeni science and Mentat science to the Ked Paddah - Making progress [started 2315.Q1.M2]
- Lobby for Federation entry to war [completed 2315.Q1.M1]

Internal Diplomacy Teams
Central Technocracy Council - Arrange for invasion training for Technocracy Guard [started 2315.Q1.M3]
- Increasing Asset Mobilisation until 2315.Q1.M2
Chamber of Commerce Council - Run Internal Recruiting Campaigns - +2 O/ +2 E/ +2T [since at latest 2314.Q4.M2, so at least a quarter has gone by and thus they've got +2 O/E/T, and are now working on 2nd recruiting campaign by now]

Engineering Teams
Henn-Makad Engineering Institute (1 Engineer [typo-ed as "Cargo" until 2315.Q1.M2.F1 :p], 1 Super-Freighter, 1 Freighter, 2 Cargo) - Thunti II Minelaying, 1 Depth, .4 Density, Strength 65, Stealth 8 - ETC 2315.Q2.M2.F2 [started 2315.Q1.M2]
- Assembling Staging outpost [completed 2315.Q1.M1]

Heavy Industry Teams
North Apada Industrial Council - Accelerating Tech-Cruiser Build in [Gaen Man. Coop Bay 1] [since at latest 2314.Q4.M2, the build commenced in 2314.Q3]
Thunti Industrial Council - Building Components for 2x1.5mt repair bays (will complete by 2315.Q2.M1) [since at latest 2314.Q4.M2]
South Nadaia Industrial Council - Accelerating Tech-Frigate Build in [Colonial Yard 1 Bay 1] [mobilized 2315.Q1.M1, started 2315.Q1.M2, definitely a new build commenced this quarter, since Colonial Yard 1 just finished an upgrade by start of 2315.Q1]

Doctrine Teams
Kedaia Naar Institute - Developing Anti-Minefield techniques (+1 to detection attempts - ETC 2315.Q3.M1) [started 2315.Q1.M3]
(have gained +1% anti-Licori) [completed 2315.Q1.M3]

Largest takeaway here is that new tech-frigate build commencing this quarter.

Note that I'm assuming start dates are the month they actually are listed in status section, not on the month when they're "voted on". This is based off the example of UESPA Deep Space Engineering being mobilized in 2314.Q4.M3.F1 vote, Onos IV outpost build started in 2314.Q4.M3.F2 vote, the first text indicating its actually working on that outpost in 2315.Q1.M1.F1 update, and the ETC of that outpost being 2315.Q2.M1.F1 which is exactly 3 months since 2315.Q1.M1. Starfleet Engineering Command commencing Kappa Tau outpost build also required a month after finishing Betazed starbase, considering the Betazed starbase ETC of 2315.Q1.M2.F1 and the Kappa Tau outpost ETC of 2315.Q2.M3.F1. Doctrine teams are a possible exception to this "1 month downtime" thing, since Kedaia Naar Institute finished Anti-Licori techniques and started Anti-Minefield techniques in this same month.

  • Threadmarks
    • 1.25 standard Officers. Ouch. Its going to be a while before we can fully crew all our ships again. And more losses from the Battle of Gamon are likely coming. :(

    The good news: lots of new member and affiliate heavies are being laid down. Even with the losses they took against the crystalline entity, the Seyek are able to afford a new Sign of Rethelia class battleship, and the Indorians are building a Renaissance; the CBZ will be that much more secure. Vulcans building the first Constie-P. The Gaeni are building their first ever explorer!

    edit: Ah well, I can just assume one of the rolls in 2314 actually was one point higher than indicated. There were arithmetic errors somewhere that year.

    The Humans only have one Excelsior currently (we have it over in Licori space) and we had to build it for them.

    They obviously want more if they are adding two 3.1 berths.

    As an aside, the ship building capability of the Sol system, already the biggest in known space, becomes even more ridiculous.......
