At least one of the plans had a name vote inside, but a lot people made their own name votes outside of the build plan. It'll be a pita to parse out, and I don't think Discovery v. Endurance is really controversial enough to be worth the effort.

With the recount though, it's 15 to 6 for Endurance leading.

Apparently, some votes nested a name in the build plan, but than people voted both for a plan, AND a name, accidently spoofing a second name vote. If you want details, ask @SynchronizedWritersBlock since he counted them... twice.
Perhaps, but the effort has already been committed, so may as well use the correct verdict!
EDIT: correct name edited in! I'm helping! yay!

I think it depends on where problems might occur. If the hull and the warp core are 100% reliable I'd be okay with substantially higher problems overall. On the other hand, if the only problems are in those two places, then I'd like reliability to be above 99.5%.

Is this the first time we've technically gone into debt? We're intending to spend PP in the next quarter to get Excelsior's worth of resources to get out of debt. But I wonder what would happen if we actually did NOT do that, and ended the year in debt.

Technically no, because the Centaur-A's don't start until Q4. So while the resources are deducted now for convenience, they won't be starting construction for another nine months. So right now all we need is the resources for an Excelsior, which we have.

Hull and warp are designed at 100% reliability pretty consistently. Notably, this is because those are the only things that would, possibly COULD, scuttle the ship in a failure. So, any failures in the ship would happen in the other systems, and will likely only stall it for a Quarter, if it even slows the ship down at all.

You can go into debt on a given turn, but I advise in the strongest terms not to be there again for the rest of your tenure or your PC will be cleaning out their desk.
But you still have a couple quarters to get the funds before starting the build and I'll ask if you'd prefer to hold up construction when the crunch time comes.
We would probably lose our job.

With net tally if you chose partition by block it works out right

The Federation council might cut us a break on "going into debt" if some completely unforeseen disaster blew up and destroyed resources we were counting on, and we had literally no choice but to "go into debt" to deal with the issue without accepting further disaster for the Federation.
But it'd be a black mark on our record and no mistake.

So we could delay some of the production by some amount of terms in order to get the resources as well? Does that have any negative consequences (other than time)?
Edit: Not that it's a good idea, just curious about how debt mechanics work.

I think you may be overthinking this. We're not actually spending resources we don't have. We simply told our shipyards, "Hey, I'm going to go get some more resources so be ready to spend them at the end of the year." That's not being "in debt". That's planning.
Has it been? Did whoever did the recount manually count every vote? Or cross reference every name vote and plan vote which may or may not have a name vote embedded inside. Differentiate between every person who vote [build] Build Plan v Build Plan?
That's the only way I can think of to be sure.

@OneirosTheWriter in future turns can we build ships that will be put in mothballs right away? More of if we are running low on crew we can still build ships but they would need to be activated later once the crew has been trained

Probably on the other side of the world from you
Note that
It tends to puts the blame (and warehousing) of supply and demand on the raw goods/components suppliers, lest they get fined to death on missed contractual obligations.
Edit: Our quest's supplies are more or less stable, right?

@OneirosTheWriter : right?

we dont. no connibees exist at all right now. not even the design exists.
and if we had other mothballs, wouldn't we have been told of it by now? been given the option to recommission some for the biophage crisis?
we have what we have.

I think it's pretty clear that keeping these around is not worth 40 BR and 80 SR.
