Ah, I tend to ignore that part as there is nothing interesting there usually, to the point that I forgot that it exists it would seem. Thanks.

I had originally been planning to agitate for additional expansion of the number of engineering ships Starfleet could order in line yards; this is a more cost-effective option.
So as a newcomer to this thread what do I need to read from for catch up info?
The start, honestly, though you should be able to stick to the thread marks and even skip some of the omakes if you want. You still won't really know what's going on without the stuff from the thread these last couple of IC years, but it's a good start.

Given that we are choosing where to park various structures and resource extraction efforts, the map will almost certainly be of interest.

I really do like looking at the Map. So much to see and plan. especially when it comes to the Cardassians.

So, giving snakepit planning a try, as none of the current plans look quite right to me.
384pp to play with, lets see...
[X][COUNCIL] Plan 8 Colonies, Risa Starbase, Coreward Diplo, All the Crew, Kepler P, and spare points to Auxiliary shipyard.
8 mining colonies, all the ones in Adrazzi Gulf included.
A Starbase to complete our ambition, and one for Risa because seriously that's an ultra exposed member homeworld on a problematic border without one, I am more willing to wait a year with the UP2 then with this.
HoH counter pushes and the Dreamers.
Both Academy developments.
Vanguard A is mandatory.
Kepler is my choice of a P refit. More efficient P then the Rennie, faster to build, and an oh so very appropriate ship to turn into a diploboat. Am opposed to the Renvoy due to cost, in my opinion unnecessary response stats (there will always be a diplo TF to put them in, or a sector with likely P events. P events are secondary in frequency only to S.), and the fact that it is the closest thing the UFP has to a warship currently. IC it doesn't fit for a P variant at all.
This makes 319pp, which means 65pp are left. Considering that we won't have the Chen bonus next year if I understand correctly, that it is a full quarter discount, and that our Shipyard ops admiral seems to think that we could use more auxiliary shipyards, I have decided to spend the remaining points on one in the name of spending pp efficiently.
I would have liked the UP2, but it really isn't urgent, and I would have to remove the Risa starbase along with 4 colonies or the EC expansion, which I have decided against. Along with the Aux Shipyard ofc, but I don't care that much about that.
As for research, I leave that to our research gurus. Only opinion I have is that it is harder to level up a team the more skilled it is, so we should bias that way.
@OneirosTheWriter I would ask for and recommend granting XP instead of skill levels in the future in choices like these please.

We don't have enough engineering ships yet to do all those colonies IIRC.

I'd like to congradulate @anon_user for being the first non-Oneiros person to do one of the big yearly policy posts as far as I can remember.
Our guideline has been about half a year per colony per team. The very tiny 4 restriction was when two full teams were occupied in the GBZ. We have enough eng teams now and we're allowed to borrow them if truly necessary.

We have 4 teams of 2 ships, each of which can build a colony in a year, or half a year together if we are in a hurry.
We might have 5 teams, maybe, not sure, but that we have enough for 8 colonies I am certain of.

Actually, with the Influence tag disappearing, why is Beyond an opposed TF? How does that work? HoH actively and obviously trying to prevent us from acquiring better relations with someone would look damn shady. Beyond should be a race now with the changes as I understand them, not a tug of war.
What am I missing?
Also, what was HoHs TFs progress? We need that info at least once a year.

It's opposed because events are shared between us and the HoH. If only one responds, that side gains the benefits. If both respond, usually the result favors one or the other and not both.

Remember, a while back, when I said that the Cardassian official CB was one that we would consider valid and might well R2P a minor in our back yard over?
Turns out ... I FUCKING CALLED IT!
Someone doing that on our borders would likely find a fleet ball informing that the experiments are OVER, they do not have a choice in the matter, the only choice they get to make is if we have to blow up their fleet or not.

I very much doubt it. We haven't declared war on the Shanpurr or anything. We'd ask them to stop, engage in propaganda, and maybe send an EC ship to intervene, but escalating to war for something like that would be extremely out of character.

In fairness to the Chrystovians, the ones experimenting on pre-warps appear to have been doing so without any sanction from their government; sometimes scientists go off and make Nazi-planet or whatever because they're bored and have no ethics. Happens all the time.
The Chrystovian government instead experiments on their own people using planets as their petri dishes. Putting a stop to the systematic dismantling of the welfare system on Kyo is what gives the puppet government legitimacy, and it was a really good justification for rebellion. If we'd affiliated the Chrystovians, that would be at least a 300-point tag.
