Fleet Distribution Vote Test

Okay, so I've tried to come up with three Fleet Distribution plans were voters can understand the high level goals and make decisions without having to read through where every single ship is. Let me know what you think.

Fleet Strength/Requirements Changes - Same for Any Plan
2317.Q4 – All starbases have +1D.
2318.Q1 – Alukk Sector Requires D7
2318.Q1 – Dryad completes refit as Miranda-A
2318.Q1 – Calypso completes refit as Miranda-A
2318.Q1 – Excelsior [Excelsior] completes refit for Excelsior-A pattern
2318.Q1 – Odyssey [Excelsior] (Explorer Corps) goes into refit for Excelsior-A pattern
2318.Q2 – Spirit [Excelsior, UP Berth A] completes
2318.Q2 – Opportunity [Excelsior, UP Berth C] completes – Explorer Corps
2318.Q2 – Renaissance [LOCF Berth 1] completes
2318.Q2 – Selaya [Constellation] goes into refit
2318.Q3 – Kearsage completes refit as Constellation-A
2318.Q3 – Vigour completes refit as Constellation-A
2318.Q3 – Docana [Constellation] goes into refit

Blooded Ships: Challorn, Docana, Zephyr, Bull, Yukikaze, Gale, Thirishar, Kumari
Veteran Ships: Cheron, T'Mir

[ ][FLEET] 2318 EVEN DISTRIBUTION: GBZ = 2 Excelsior-A, 3 Constitution-B , 4 Renaissance , 1 Centaur-A , All other Border Zones = 4 ships, only Amarkia and Tellar are single ship sectors

This option tries to keep a more even distribution of ships, making sure that important sectors with lots of homeworlds like Sol, Ferasa, and Rigel have at least three ships even after taking Mutual Support into account. Non-GBZ Border Sectors get 4 ships each by Q4 so that they can use mutual support, and the GBZ itself is reinforced by an Excelsior-A and a Blooded Centaur-A (for Scouting phases).

[ ][FLEET] 2318 MAX GBZ REINFORCE AND CUT TO BONE ELSEWHERE – GBZ = 3 Excelsior-A, 4 Constitution-B, 5 Renaissance, 1 Centaur-A, 1 Constellation-A, 12 Miranda-A; Border Zones mostly only 4 ships, interior sectors even more stripped and mostly 1 or 2 ships

This plan goes all in on reinforcing the GBZ, to the detriment of other sectors The interior sectors are stripped bare and the border sectors only get 4 ships each. A few more missed events are likely, but on the other hand the force added to the GBZ likely outstrips what the Konen added.

Okay, so it this something people could vote on with a reasonable understanding of what they're getting into, even if all the stuff in spoilers is confusing detail you probably won't bother to look at?
Uh, no, not really. I would rather have detail in the plan itself because I would rather make a plan if I don't like any of those. I'm rather against presenting them as the options. Frankly, none of these plans do what I want.

You and others are still free to make a fleet distribution plan. However there were complaints that people were having a hard time reading the deployment plans. So this was an attempt to format them better. And the plan details are in the spoiler for each plan. Basically each plan has a high level summary followed by the details in a spoiler. Hopefully this will make it easier for voters to see what the intent of various plans submitted are.

Well the detail is there in the spoilers if you want to look at it. The main thing I'm trying to do is have multiple plans with short summaries of how they're different on a high level, since so many voters simply aren't interested in details and want to vote based on the high points.

If you have your own ideas, by all means make your own plan. I'd simply suggest trying to boil down a few sentence summary of how your plan is different than the other three and why voters should care about that difference.

Plans don't often actually fully achieve their stated intent, but moreover, my issue is with the ability to compare plans that may have the same intent but differ in the details. That's no longer possible.

It's completely possible. Again, the details are there in the spoilers, and if you post a plan that has "the same intent but differ in the details" you can write in the summary how the plan differs.

The problem I'm trying to solve is that many voters have no interest in reading through all the details, so they need to be able to make decisions based on a summary. This does mean that there will only be as many "differ in the details" variations as people bother to make, but what can you do?
 
[X][FLEET] 2318 BORDER FOCUS, FRIGATES INTERNAL

This is the Border Focus plan except it dispenses with the suboptimal idea of placing Miranda-As in a border sector come Mutual Support. They are, in a word, poop there, the equivalent of D0 in mutual support rolls. Instead, I send most of them to internal sectors with low BZ support (Ferasa, Vulcan, and Alukk in particular). I also do the same for a handful of Centaur-As as they have a similar problem (D1), and replace them in BZs with Connie-Bs as the Lone Ranger bonus makes them excellent at mutual support (D4). Overall our mutual support response is stronger and some internal sectors have supporting responders where they previously didn't.

[X][FLEET] 2318 EVEN DISTRIBUTION

What is called Even Distribution still puts significantly more and stronger ships in the Border Zones than in the interior Sectors. Every Border Zone will have at least four ships at the end of the year, one of them an Excelsior.

I think that Plan 2318 BORDER FOCUS overdoes it.

I kind of felt the Border Focus didn't go far enough to be a true border focus plan. The details were about what I expected from a relatively even distribution, where major sectors kept their garrison, which is what I wanted.

The argument about our current frigates being trash for border zone stuff makes a lot of sense.
 
[X][FLEET] 2318 BORDER FOCUS, FRIGATES INTERNAL

The argument about our current frigates being trash for border zone stuff makes a lot of sense.
It's not so much trash for the BZ itself - they're fine at responding to events in the zone, and we've used them heavily for that currently. It's just that they don't do much for mutual support, which in a mutual-support-focused plan doesn't make as much sense anymore.
 
Hey Everyone it's time for more Cardassian Logistics with Noca.

Today, the Trunk Loop.
Starfleet doesn't have a trunk loop, it's a thing that you care about when you're a complete government and economy, and not a joint star navy supported by treaty, economic magic and good PR.
We do, however, get to take a look at what the member trunk loops look like. The homeworld and each major colony generates 10 Sm and 5 Blk. Trade partners generate 10 Sm and 10 Blk each.
The Cardassian Trunk loop is estimated at ~70Sm and ~50Blk.
Here, we can tell that something weird is going on from the get go.
As of Ghosts and Whispers, the Cardassian Union maintained 1 homeworld and 6 major colonies.
1+6=7
7x10->70 Sm. Right on the money, no new major colonies. (Not unexpected, but this is checking your math territory. And it would be a terrible surprise to know that they'd managed to whip one up. So.)
7x5=35 Blk
50-35=15 Blk from somewhere else. With no Sm to balance it against it clearly isn't trade.
Everyone remember Trangot, the agricultural planet, as reported in Ghosts & Whispers? They're feeding 50,000x15=~750,000 people somewhere by shipping grain interstellar distances.
We can be sure that this is about the demand too, unless there's an engineered famine taking place, since there's plenty of spare Blk space lift capacity floating around unused and last report had 200 Blk of agricultural capacity available.
NB!: To avoid starvation, as much as possible leave the superfreighters alone when targeting Cardassian shipping. Maximum Blk per hull, minimum Sm per Blk.

Also! The Cardassian Union doesn't engage in trade at the trunk level. Not even with its Pact members. We might miss one or two, but there are four Pact members that directly border the Cardassian Union and I'd hope that even we should be able to see a 40 Sm and 40 Blk increase in shipping.

"border zone stuff" was my attempt at referring to Mutual Support without having to think too hard about how its called again first.
 
Differences between the two Border Focus plans:
Sol- Same
Vulcan-SWB keeps Lion (Miranda-A) in Q3, Briefvoice has it go to the SBZ
Andor-SWB moves Gale (Centaur-A) and keeps Dryad (Miranda-A) in Q3, moves Huscar (Connie-B) to RBZ, Briefvoice sends Huscar to KBZ, Dryad to CBZ and brings in Hood (Connie-B)
Tellar-Same
Amarkia-Briefvoice sends Svai (Miranda-A) to LBZ in Q1
Ferasa-SWB brings in Calypso (Miranda-A) in Q1
Rigel-SWB sends Korlev (Connie-B) to SBZ and pulls in Zephy (Centaur-A) in Q3
Apinae-same
Alukk-SWB pulls in Dynamo (Miranda-A) in Q1
RBZ-Briefvoice pulls in Calypso (Miranda-A) in Q1, Gale (Centaur-A) in Q3, SWB brings in Huscar (Connie-B) in Q3
KBZ-SWB sends out Dynamo (Miranda-A) in Q1, both bring in a Connie-B in Q4 though different ones
CBZ-Briefvoice pulls in Lion(Miranda-A) in Q3
SBZ-SWB pulls in Korolev (Connie-B) and sends out Zephyr (Centaur-A) in Q3, Briefvoice keeps Zephyr and pulls in Lion (Miranda-A)
LBZ-Briefvoice pulls in Svai (Miranda-A) in Q1
GBZ-Same

Sol-Same
Vulcan-SWB +1 Miranda-A
Andor-SWB -1 Connie-B, +1 Centaur-A, +1 Miranda-A

@SynchronizedWritersBlock
Small editing error in your plan, you have Dynamo still in the KBZ during Q4 despite sending it to Alukk Q1, this seems to be a copy paste error
 
Something to remember is that not only does Mutual Support finish next year, but we also finish the tech that increases events in Border Zones. The Mirandas could help with addressing additional events in the border zones, not so much for Mutual Support.
 
Ship response rolls-

Oberth () is a Veteran

Techs that enhance:
+1 Response rolls where we have Starbases (not sure if this applies to ships using mutual support) 2310s Starbase Design-Control
+1 Cruiser Response Roll Way of the Anchor-included above
+2 Explorer Response Roll Way of the Anchor-included above

After 2318.Q3
+1 Response Rolls 2320s LR Comms

I included the Kepler and Ambassador for comparison.

SWB does make a good argument.
Once more border tech is completed, the Miranda's might be better in the BZ, but for now...
