Snakepit is next turn when we would get the resources and they Centaurs are being built Q4 or two quarters(turns) after the snakepit.
Maybe try a budget increase next year?

Not to mention that we have a bit of a crew shortage. A race of atavistically loyal eusocial workers could come in reeeeaaaally handy.

Regarding pushes, I'd prefer to see a mix of one near four hundred advanced affiliate (if any; Betazed has decent odds of hitting it without additional help), 1-2 pushes of 200+ to 300, and a non-affiliate. The Sydraxians (as a band aid if nothing else) and Yrillians would be good, as would Risa and the Caldonians.

@Steven Kodaly could you bracket Build so it looks like [BUILD] that way it has a better display in the vote tally program

We're actually gonna need to start requesting 2mt berths since a 1mt light cruiser isn't viable anymore
I haven't been following the ship-building thread very closely. Is the plan to give up on the Renaissance in favor of a new non-canon ship class that's bigger than 1mt?
Didn't we have some good 1mt designs? Was it reliability that changed that?

To elaborate: changes to the ship design spreadsheet make the Renaissance class impossibly out of reach at any reasonable reliability, likely even after, say, six years of future general research.
The best we can design right now is a C4 S3 H4 L4 P3 D4 at 100/80, which compares unfavorably to the ConnieBee (assuming that stays as is).
Ship Design thinks that the best option for the 1000kt berths is a new escort. We do have a C3 S3 H3 L3 P3 D5 escort at 90/55 which seems promising.
To be exact, changes to the penalty for stats over scale murdered the Rennie in her crib.

So, they are suggesting that we destroy a ship and a base of a nation with which we are not currently at war, right? This is some extremely dodgy shit. If it gets out, the Cardassians are fully justified in declaring war on us.
If we get to vote, I will definitely try to stop this operation. Wtf, Mr. Sulu.

We will have 5 3m berths, 2 2.5m berths and 6 1m berths. The 2.5 will be cruiser with the next set of explorers we do so there is 2 dedicated berths, and we may e able to use one of the 3m berth and still keep an explorer per year. Still we will need to build additional berths depending on final cruiser size.

Pretty sure this is a blacksite. Possibly even a Syndicate base that the Cardassians are just employing.

The biggest issue for the Rennie is the massive STOC penalty for having 5 stats over it's 3.5 scale, with 2 of them being over by 1.5. Ship design has concluded we'd be better served with a Rennie as a scale 3.5 escort rather than a scale 3.5 cruiser. No, I'm not kidding, that seems to be the most viable way of solving the issue as STOC penalties scale differently between classes, though more research would still be require to reduce power reqs.
Current thinking is if 1mt cruisers are a non-starter might as well go max size for now, which is a scale 6 cruiser(or 1.8mt). So, @OneirosTheWriter I'm seriously asking what the pp cost for requesting a 2.1mt berth would be(give a little flex so we can eventually build scale 7 cruisers in them).

Actually a temporary base inside our territory. I am feeling kinda dodgy about it myself, but I think this action is being taken below "our" (Admiral Kuharangi's) level.

I don't ever see us build anything at 2.1mt, since that kicks up build time for little benefit. Our cruisers are either going to be scale 6.66 or scale 8+.

So you're thinking simply keep requesting 3mt berths? We'll need to do so because we need to be building at least 3 cruisers at a time(and they're cheapr at 180br 110sr, at least compared to an explorer

We'd better of just continuing to build the 2.5s we've got everywhere.

Either that or an option for 2.5m berths. We do have a tech for scale 7 cruisers that we will hit at some point, how big a berth would we need there? That way we can make sure we are not building berths that can't be used on cruisers in the future

I think requesting any of 2mt, 2.5mt, 3mt, 3.5mt would make sense. It's specifically 2.1mt berths which I consider nonsensical. We'd never build anything over 2mt in those anyway.

1pt of scale is 300kt, so scale 7 is 2.1mt, which is why I asked about that size

So 2.5m would be my favored choice since that let us build ships up to scale 8 in it, so our biggest cruisers and smaller explorers.

Alright, I can dig requesting more 2.5mt berths. @OneirosTheWriter what would the pp cost of adding more 2.5mt berths rather than 3mt berths?

I suppose the fact that I named my plan threw off the script, huh? Gimme a few minutes to break it down.
That's not actually being given as an option, mind you. It seems that when a new shipyard is started, we get a 2.5mt berth and after that expansions are either 3mt or 1mt. There may be some sort of below-level-of-game-mechanics engineering concerns which make that make sense. Though then again the UP shipyard starts with 3mt and 1mt berths, so who knows.
