How are we doing on Crew surplus right now?

We could definitely use a bigger Officer surplus. Enlisted gets a bit low at times. We have Techs coming out of our ears.

The current build plans account for this, but if we have some bad fights and take heavy causalities in the O/E brackets, we are going to have problems...

Depends whether the causalities are grandfather paradoxes or time-clones, I'd think.

It looks like from your list that we need to build a couple of research colonies or better to increase our RP. If we get the chance we should do exactly that along side the Berths and Academy expansions.

We build research colonies pretty much every chance we get. We haven't found any since last year, but we have one completing 2318 and in 2319 we finish a tech that will give us another 30RP a turn. RP wise, we're doing well.

This isn't "theory", we know that the Gaeni, Caitians and Rigellians all choose to use superfreighters for their engineering teams, despite having more than enough spare freighters to use instead. If anything there seems to be a slight preference towards it, of 5 member teams that could use superfreighters 3 actually do.

Interesting. Adding this factoid with Engineering teams needing a million tons of ship to house them (currently using two Engineering Rangers), what if we combined these two facts and made our next Engineering ship based off the Ambassador? It's three million tons, and the Engineering Team can stay in the Saucer section, and then use the Stardrive Section as a Super Freighter once they're on site. And being based on a modern Explorer, it will have enough defense and toughness to discourage raiding attacks, letting them operate in contested areas like the GBZ or battlezones.

So, @OneirosTheWriter, what do you think?
 
I think the engineering section requires much more of the machinery needed to make a starship functional and capable of warp travel, like the power plant and nacelles. Whereas you can put pretty much anything you want in the saucer, so it makes more sense to put huge cargo bays in the saucer than in the engineering hull unless you have a bulky, oversized engineering hull.

A massive engineering ship that enables "one-stop shopping" might work, but I can think of good reasons not to do it. It decreases flexibility, for one- with a team of engineering ships, work can get done if any one ship has a problem and can't work for a little while. With a single ship, not so much. Furthermore, there's no possibility of easily replenishing the team if one ship is lost in an attack, though this may be compensated for by the sheer size of the engineering megaship discouraging such attacks.
 
The last time someone asked if the Engineering Teams wanted new ship designs, the response was pretty much they are fine with the current design.

Hospital ships needed more room, faster ftl and updated facilties, so the change to a 1mt cruiser hull was good for them, but if the Engineers are happy with what they have ... *shrug*

And the argument of making them faster doesn't really apply, as they are limited by their attached cargo ships low speed engines anyway.

Well, in theory if we could fit all the cargo space AND the engineering equipment inside a single ship with a military-grade warp drive it would be nice, buuut...

Thing is, engineering ships don't have to hurry. They're going to spend weeks, months, or even years working on their tasks anyway. There's no rush to get there a week faster, most of the time. Hospital ships, on the other hand, have a lot of time-critical tasks where showing up a week early could save thousands of lives. So, there it is.
 
Engineering Teams are currently split between two Rangers.

That is not an efficient setup, and they need at least a Rennie version to put them all on one ship.

And as far as the Stardrive section not being big enough, we can build up to 3.3 million tons in a 3 MT berth now, so we can plump the Stardrive section up enough to serve as a decent Super Freighter, even if it may not carry quite as much.

"No need for hurry"? Sure, we can take all the time in the world during a SoE, so what if that outpost takes an extra month, or those minefields won't be finished until a week after the battle, it's all good.
 
As I said, the last time it was asked, the Engineers where pretty un-excited about new ships. If they don't want it, we cannot really force it on them.

Maybe they have changed their minds, maybe if we give Aux a Vice Admiral position then we can argue with them about their needs.

And maybe they genuinely have absolutely no need for a new design and know the current one and how to use it break physics like the back of their hands.
 
Exactly.

Why not, exactly? Why is it a bad thing to have two ships that share work? For tasks like laying a minefield or setting up a network of sensor outposts it would seem to be virtually ideal; it's hard to imagine one ship doing that sort of thing faster than two. Two ships enable you to make arrangements like "ship one, go collect the minerals we need to make concrete out of in-system resources; ship two, your teams will continue work on assembling the structural girders."

One ship, no matter how capable, can only be in one place, doing one thing, at one time. The fact that it has twice as many resources to work on any single task does not automatically mean it can perform all tasks twice as quickly, especially tasks that may require coordination or actions taken in different physical places at once.

I am reminded of a joke about trying to arrange to have a baby born in one month by having nine women working on the job...

And as far as the Stardrive section not being big enough, we can build up to 3.3 million tons in a 3 MT berth now, so we can plump the Stardrive section up enough to serve as a decent Super Freighter, even if it may not carry quite as much.

Uh... you kind of missed my point, which is that it makes a lot more sense to put stuff in the saucer. Plump up the saucer if you have to, but trying to block out lots of space for cargo and other stuff in the engineering section is just going to reduce your parts and design commonality with the ship class you're basing the design off of.

[sighs]

Engineering ships do vast amounts of extremely important work during peacetime, and their designs are inevitably going to be configured heavily around peacetime needs. An Ambassador-based engineering ship designed for 'one stop shopping' is going to be an extremely expensive investment in peacetime. Its upkeep costs are likely to be as high or higher than an entire squadron of more ordinary ships, and while we don't pay upkeep costs mechanically, it's worth thinking about them when making decisions that we intend to make realistic sense.

And while this great investment MAY pay off in wartime by having some critical installation be completed just barely in time to defend against an enemy attack... then again, it might very well not. Think about all the engineering ship work we did in the Licori War. None of it turned out to matter very much. We may sow minefields, only for them to not detonate and blow up any ships for months. We may finish fortifications that are never attacked- and sure, they deter attacks, but the incremental advantage of such a fort being done a month earlier is relatively narrow.

It's not that getting your engineering team to the scene of a task has literally zero importance. It's that the advantage of doing so is rather small, to the point where one might honestly prefer having five cheap but slow-moving engineering teams over having four expensive but fast-moving teams. Because the ability to do five construction projects in parallel, rather than four, is more important and saves more time in the long run than the ability to transit from one project to the next faster.
 
We can come up with many reason why one or two hulls on the task are better.

Another argument for two hulls that came to me on way to the train station, is if a lot of the work is done via carefully manipulating opposing tractor beams, then one ship just isn't going to be efficient.

2316.Q4 - GBZ
  • Threadmarks
    • Admiral Sulu,

    The Cardassians have regathered their enthusiasm for reaching Sydraxian space. Commodore ka'Sharren has reported brief encounters with Cardassian forces on four occasions, though never proceeding to the loss of shields. We are left with a somewhat classical defender's dilemma, in which we either spread out to ensure that they are not by-passing our positions and run the risk of being defeated in detail, or consolidate and run the risk of being by-passed. Therefore, I intend to attack.

    In other news, the Apiata have given a proper name to the 2 Dorsata site, naming the system Apruzza, which I am told is a term indicating the regrowth of "spring" among those planets which have a winter-time.


    Sincerely,
    Rear Admiral T'Lorel

    • Figures that we'd go on the attack just after we drew down on the GBZ force, in the first year in a while where we didn't get a tactical report.
     
    I had to resist an urge to burst out laughing at the planned response - on a crowded train.

    Best case - the Syndraxians are firmly kept out of Cardassian hands. Worst case, we need new ships and are flanked again.

    To be honest, 'if you can't win make the other guy bleed too much for it to be worth the effort' is a good decision to make, if you can make him bleed too much.

    Yeah, but it's kind of exasperating to have this happen right when we're having to draw down the Gabriel Expanse forces.

    It could be worse, though, we could have pulled out a lot MORE ships to chase the Hishmeri away...

    How do you say "T'Lorel" in Cardassian, because I get the feeling we're about to find out what happens when two people orbitalphaserstrike each other at the same time...?
