For the Tauni, I would say Constitution-A, Constelllation and Miranda-A and maybe the Oberth. Once they have been affiliates for a few years I would pass on the Connie-B and Centaur-A
 
The Connie-B is a slightly de-tuned cruiser version of the Connie-A...

We're not even making Connie-A's anymore.

Yeah but I don't want to give them the Excelsior and this way we should get them caught up to T 0 in all techs at least as from the description they are all over the place in terms of tech. So Constituton A and B, Constellation, Miranda-A and Oberth would be all I consider for now. Probably pick two designs, and send the rest once they hit 300 and send the Renissance once they hit 400.
 
Maybe the SDB could take a look at what parts are actually in each ship? If it turns out that all the parts in those 4 are all that's in the Centaur-A, for example, then would we really be giving anything extra away by giving them that as well?

Presumably they can budget which ships they should build better than we can.

Starfleet Colony Team - Building mining colony on 41 Miele IV - ETC 2316.Q4
[Planning to work on 29 Miele V SR Mine Next]
Do you mean 29 Baker V?

-Apiata Task Force- Moving to 33 Dorsata urgently
Shouldn't they already be there? They were "urgently" moving there last quarter as well.

Starfleet:
USS Nicholas Barton, NCC-632, Prospector (21 Baker / 29 Baker / 34 Baker) - 29 Baker II 15br/yr mine, 29 Baker V 10sr/yr, minor colony potential
USS Somak, NCC-635, Prospector (- / 46 Miele / - ) - 46 Miele - Boring
[Starfleet collects 30br from 32 Baker system]

@OneirosTheWriter, can you clarify whether we actually picked up 30sr or 10sr in the Q2 GBZ? We should have gotten 30sr, but only 10sr was mentioned in that update:

2316.Q1 GBZ:
USS Nicholas Barton, NCC-632, Prospector (32 Baker / 19 Baker / 29 Baker) - 19 Baker I, Class K world with minor colony potential, 19 Baker II, 20sr available for pickup next qtr
USS Somak, NCC-635, Prospector (38 Miele / 40 Miele / 46 Miele) - found 60br and 10sr collectible resources, available next turn
[Starfleet collects 35br from 3 Baker system]

2316.Q2 GBZ:
Starfleet:
USS Nicholas Barton, NCC-632, Prospector (29 Baker / 32 Baker / 21 Baker) - 32 Baker V, 10sr/yr SR mine option, 30br available for pickup
USS Somak, NCC-635, Prospector (46 Miele / 38 Miele / - ) 38 Miele VII - Research colony site available, 5rp/yr
[Starfleet collects 60br, 10 sr from 40 Miele system]

As you can see, the 20sr from 19 Baker II is not listed as picked up.


Member World Assets in Sector

Also this section is still out of date (doesn't list Caitian forces) and still redundant.

Should be 30sr.
 
The biggest danger of sending them a design is someone leaking it to the Cardassians and them exploiting any weaknesses they find during a war, isn't it? So I don't think we should send the designs of any of the main classes we would fight such a war with, no Excelsior, Renaissance, Connie-B or Miranda-A. IIRC they were specifically asking for cruisers and I think Constellation-A is a good compromise of sending them a modern design that doesn't expose us to as many risks since those would probably mostly stay away from the front-lines even in a war.
 
The Constellation-A would still give hints of the capabilities of the Connie-B. It'd just be unreliable hints, which would be a nasty surprise to the Cardassians.

Not viable. The Tauni want our ship designs, like they want to join us, because they want to be better defended. Not sending them at least the Miranda-A would be downright insulting towards them.
 
On fleet distribution, I'm mostly fine with Briefvoice's earlier draft.

My only issues with it are that I think short-changing the LBZ may not be wise, since it now effectively covers diplomacy to 2 or 3 affiliates (Ked Paddah, Laio, maybe Tauni*) and the Licori.

That and I agree with SWB that the SBZ could replace the Miranda-A with a Centaur-A for Sydraxian diplomacy reasons.

* Tauni could be part of Rigel sector's responsibility instead, like Yan-Ros and Honiani already are.

Because in their position the implicit request is for combat ships. The Tauni only recently became a free people, and they did so by force of arms. They affiliated with us in the belief we would help them defend themselves. That's been a very consistent theme. We need to give them something that can be seen as working towards that goal. And we're probably not going to give them Connie-Bs or Rennies, so the Miranda is it.

[X][TAUNI] Constitution-A, Constellation-A, Miranda-A, Oberth

As I just stated before your post, can you find a way to put an extra diplomacy ship here? The LBZ is responsible for the Licori and 2 to 3 affiliates: Ked Paddah, Laio, and Tauni (if latter not already the responsibility of Rigel sector).

Perhaps shift over something from the RBZ or KBZ, now that we have a Caldonian task force in the vicinity there?
 
Note that the QM rated my post where I advocated against giving them designs we would fight a war with as insightful.

[X][TAUNI] May Provide Constellation-A, Oberth, and Patroller-A Designs
