You uh...you do know that failure to repair our main base in this sector and leaving it a smoking ruin for a year and a half are gonna have ramifications regardless of who's in politics, yes? You don't need to blame politics and those who engage in it for their being consequences for figuratively leaving Pearl Harbor To Burn.

It sounds like the bulk of the political ramifications are specifically for not repairing the mine, though.
The military ramifications are going to be an issue too, as will the loss of the merchantmen. But we were going to suffer those problems anyway, because realistically we can't delay our offensive long enough to fully repair the base.
The outpost got damaged too, remember? And yes, it sounds dumb but this is a major fuckup and we need to remember that this is the price for delaying our attack by a quarter to not interfere with politics. We need to take our lumps with dignity and accept our bloody nose instead of winging about it.

We can and will not delay the offensive any more than we absolutely need to, the Ashalla Pact needs to remember the order of things, and what happens when you hit civies and noncoms. I could honestly care less what N'Gir and the council Think, our people are dying In a war we didn't ask for or want...but we stand to protect the Federation and expand her horizons, as has always been the case.

Weakening the offensive's effectiveness when we delayed in large part so that we could reinforce it seems... counterproductive.
This is pretty much how the BDS Harmony operated, only they really freaking hated fighting. Spoken word communications among the crew were the exception, rather than the rule.
Also, it could work if the Horta are just really, really good at expressive silences now that they've got the hang of Federation culture.

I'm not too sure why we pulled the Engineering team for this offensive in the first place. My understanding was our objective is to clear the Enio subsector of Cardassian installations. Deciding to occupy it ourselves is sometime to decide later, preferably after we've mapped it out and can safely patrol it. We shouldn't be throwing down major fortifications during this campaign in any case, so we might as well save the pp and get the mines reopened.

I strongly suspect the engineering ships are there to provide machine shop and fabrication support to any of our ships that take damage passing through the Badlands. We know that the Badlands are a dangerous area to fly around in, and the same facilities that let engineering ships build orbital doomforts probably also help them do field repairs on starships.

How much are you willing to spend on auxiliary berths? We're treading water on logistics in the short term without loses to wolf packs. Partly because our multipliers keep getting worse, but I don't see any way out but through.
An engineering team, with all the trimmings, is 6 years and three berths. 4 years with a 2mt berth for a superfreighter and getting the third cargo ship's construction time somewhere by hook or by crook.

The Foragers is a given - we need to be able to see the Konen ships.
The Engineers is the issue - if we were launching an offensive to take territory I'd say they were critical and keep them. But I understand it as we are launching a punitive expedition, more concerned with pushing them out than actually claiming the territory right this moment.
