@OneirosTheWriter For the topics for the Renaissance Research Project , do our research teams get bonuses for their specialties? For example, the Yoyodyne team has a specialty in Warp Drives - do they get their bonus if they're working on the Propulsion Systems of the Rennaisance?

Research doesn't work that way. The Renaissance ship design project is a single research category (like one of the slides in the research megapost), and you can only assign a single research team to a category. This particular research category is classified as ship design cruiser, so we should assign a team that includes preferences for that for a 2x bonus (namely, Utopia Planitia Design Group). We also get a nice +2 ship design research bonus from our Starfleet Ship Design Bureau Vice Admiral Rinias ch'Vohlet.

edit: more clarification

Ship Design (Cruiser) is the spec required.

Somewhat out of the blue question. How old is our admiral?

It hasn't been canonically set, but you're probably around the late 60s and eyeing off retirement soon.

Can you provide guidance on where Vintus and 15 Themis are for @Nix's map? Or should they just be arbitrarily placed?

15 Themis should be placed near the other Themis star system. Vintus should be placed centrally.
 
Right now, UP is level 4, so they can get a nice level up.

However, we don't exactly need it soon, and I would rather push explorer design for the Ambassador.

To get a canon commissioning date, we need the techs ready in 4-5 years, so we need to hurry.


Also, we should look into getting another Light Cruiser team.

Utopia Planitia needs to be rushing explorer tech.

So it would be Utopia Planitia Group researching the Rennaissance Project as a whole as that choice, and all those topics in the Project gain the same amount of RP based on the team's skill? Okay. But I thought that the UP Group's speciality was Explorers rather than Cruisers....

They do both.

We need another LC team so that UP and SF can keep pushing explorer design techs.

That Seyek diplo roll.... when we range from -3 to 37 it comes up a 2, and all we needed was a 10. Well hopefully we can get another positive event with them. Well at least we are getting the improved diplo roll tech from Xeno Psych this research phase.
 
Okay, so the accessible levels of the remaining research categories are unlikely to change when converted to the new research system, but you won't be able to look ahead until they're done.

I may be able to get those complete tonight, probably tomorrow. What would people prefer, just start up the next research phase now, or wait until all the research categories are in order?

Now I think, we still have a lot locked before it branches so it won't be too much of an impact this turn. That way you can do the remainder as time permits as it will be a bit before research rolls around again. Also you shared all of the doctrines earlier so that is even less that remains that we have not seen.

Don't care all that much. But please, please fix the various bugs in the revamp thus far people have spotted and called out in the last few pages.

Especially Starship Construction not having gotten the research results from last turn.

I'm worried that improved is increasing the current 2u10 to 3u10 - which means our +17 modifier won't cover as much of the spread anymore.

Also, a 2 for the Sayek? I suspect hidden factor shennanigans, such as the current political climate.

Let's all get our ducks in a row with the modifications to research, then start the Research Phase. If nothing meaningful changes, oh well. If it turns out you do need to tinker a bit more with what you've already put up, no votes will have been miscast.

The last time we got that tech it increased the modifier by +5, originally it was 2u10+10, we gained +5 from tech and +2 from our chief of staff

Start it now. No reason to delay, and the fast pace of this quest is one of the reasons I love it so much.

Like phoenix89 said, I'm fine with starting it now since we're pretty sure there aren't going to be any surprises, but the bugs he pointed out should be fixed.

Aw, geez. I just had a thought (hopefully not a burst of precog). Given the past antics of the Sayek, what are the odds they are about to 'help' us in the next quarter or two by steamrolling the Dawiar?
 
@OneirosTheWriter also Admiral Lathriss should be at 1/5 XP as we activated them last research phase

To the thread, Starfleet Tactical Command can either do Romulan or Klingon analysis or start one of the offensive doctrines, if we chose offensive doctrine which one do people prefer?

Slim to none? The Firial and Seyek were at war many times before the annexation. They finally got sick of fighting the monarchy which is why they went for annexation. The circumstances with the Dawiar are completely different. The Seyek aren't even affiliates, and as far as we know they have no ties with the Caitians. They have literally zero reasons to intervene and many as to why it's a terrible idea.

Decisive Battle, definitely. Those United Starfleet techs are extremely awesome and we should get them ASAP
