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

There were an option for Heavy Industry somewhere ...

An excelsior weighs 2.3 megatons. Even a Rigelian megatortoise or a Seyek battleship is only 2.5 megatons. They have something larger in mind.

Most likely true. However, more room should make rushed emergency repairs easier and safer.

Edit: Kadeshi super-freighter (ie, freighter able to reach the Kadeshi's new home)

Hmm. I wonder. If we buy that, would the Human's Luna ship yard also benefit, or would it only apply to our Sol ship yards. @OneirosTheWriter, care to comment? If it does, maybe we can get a discount on building it if we can get the Humans to support it more.

Or maybe it would get more expensive as everyone else complains about the Humans get everything ....

3.1mt is so that they won't get caught if the Ambassador design slips over 3mt.

Edit: Wait, you were talking about something else, nvm.

Yes, there was a good reason for 'the captain stays with his/her ship' ...

"Yeah. It turns out that paperwork is the Gaeni weakness. They have bureaucracy, they just never let it get in the way of killing people with 'scientific misadventures' before. See, they're still not afraid of dying through things going 'boom.' But they are afraid of surviving and having to argue with the bureaucrats about whose fault it is that something went 'boom.' Same way Klingon reactor safety protocol works, only with less beatings and more meetings. We figured out how to game the system after the Aman-Dradd report. Wonder what happened to her..."

So we should be enlarging our 3MT berths then?

Given that we're the ones designing the ship, if we don't want it to exceed three million tons, it won't exceed three million tons.

Thing is, UESPA can't be SURE we'll decide not to let the design exceed three million tons. They don't actually have control over the process; if we decide it's worth expanding all our heavy berths a little to make room for something wonderful on the new explorer, they can't stop us.

So they build the berth a liiiiittle bigger than they expect to need it.

... wow the return of the captain log and Sydraxian government falling! The first cracks in the Cardassian client system and not the Dawiar like we thought. Shame we do not have the coverage of ships to pass the events and get an advantage in the diplomacy actions. Also nice to see the groundwork we laid with the Yrillians is paying off.

The Dawiar have entered a siege mentality and expected to be left out in the cold. The conflict they faced was also a much more limited conflict and the Federation and their associates have been observing the treaties between the Dawiar and them to the letter. The Sydraxians expected to be able to take at least part of the Gabriel Expanse, but they got beaten hard and kicked out of the Expanse. There's also that the Cardassians have done basically fuck all while the Sydraxians could fight, and only did some demonstrating afterwards 'to allow the Sydraxian colonists to withdraw.'

This looks to them like the Cardassians just plain don't care about their associates except as a bullet sponge.

6 months is plenty to break a government. The only question is how messy the situation has gotten. It's implied to be 'very' so this would've been brewing for a while.
