Because Super Freighters, Freighters, and Cargo ships all carry different ratios and amounts of Bk and Sm goods, it is often most efficient to mix'n'match them. Bear in mind Starbases are part of your logistics net and require Bk goods, never mind the fact your various loops generate them and they need to be moved around.
 
So, depending on the situation in the Romulan Empire next year, we may want to send some diplomats to the Sotaw. If we need to push sophontitarian aid to the Romulans, it's going to be through Sotaw space.

Also, crazy thought, but did we run into the Hirogen this quarter?

Pretty sure the Hirogen are literally on the other side of the galaxy.
 
My take from that is, stop building Cargo Ships. Start mass producing Freighters.
Bluntly: You're wrong.
In more detail:
Cargo ships mainly move small cargo. That includes SR, RP and support for ships. They also have a limited capacity for bulk cargo, which is BR and parts for starbases and repair docks.
Freighter move mainly bulk cargo and a limited amount of small.
A super freighter moves twice as much bulk as a freighter, but slightly less than twice as much small.
We need more of all of them, and even if we didn't get any new members (ha!) or new mining colonies (double ha!) with the ship building schedules for the non-support fleet alone, more cargo ships just to maintain our far flung forces are required.
So.

More of everything and delivered as close to yesterday as won't require monitoring or intervention by Intel Office 0.
 
TF "Doing Stuff #3 = 2/8 points
USS Docana (Starfleet Lead Vessel)
4 member Frigates

TF "Doing Stuff #4 = 2/8 points
USS Enlightenment (Starfleet Lead Vessel)
1 Member Cruiser
2 Member Frigates

4 Task Forces for a cost of 40pp plus any special detachments we want to order, and tying up four Starfleet vessels.
I'd go for something like this

1st task force
USS Spirit + Riala (2/8 points) for dangerous missions that have a good chance to roll combat.

2nd task force
Cheron + T'mir + 2 member cruisers + 2 member frigates (3/8 points) for missions may benefit from many vessels. Also, I want to have two legendary vessels in a spotlight

3rd task force
Blooded constellation + member cruiser + member frigate (1.5/8) budget option for less important missions and way to get veteran constellations

4th task force
Blooded constellation + member cruiser + member frigate (1.5/8) budget option for less important missions and way to get veteran constellations
 
Once we have sufficient Centaur-B, Kepler and Fast Response Frigates deployed, serving as Task Force leaders may well be the optimal usage for our Constellations.

The majority of non war time Task Forces will be S and/or P focused and we need a Starfleet capital or cruiser platform to command from.

I suppose the question will be if they have sufficient D...

..That's interesting timing for Chen to go on Sabbitical and... Pathe Lathriss getting blocked is also intriguing.
 
Does Chen know something about our newish President, and is going quiet to wait out the term?

((Or maybe that long ago omake that Chen is an augment and the Romulans know about it, mean that the Romulans are pulling her strings?))
 
I just had a thought about that shipyard that the Indorians found and claimed. Since one of the berths is a 3MT berth I think we can forgo buying more berths or shipyards this year and spend the PP on other things we might need come the next snakepit. that is if we don't need to spend the PP on repairing the Berths at the Orion Shipyard.
