Ah. Dangit.
How about Saratoga?
Personally, I'd recommend you just go with
Huáscar for NAME3, because that was a badass ship and I like the idea of having a little non-Anglophone diversity.
You know what? I'm going to vote '
Huáscar ' for one of the new ConnieBees. Just so we have something cool. By the way, I'm not putting the accent in during the vote, but will do so when the ship is actually being named. Because
Huáscar was awesome.
Huáscar (ironclad) - Wikipedia
"I was dodging torpedoes
before it was cool!"
[No seriously, the then-Peruvian ironclad
Huáscar, named after an Inca emperor, has the honor of being the first ship to evade the first self-propelled torpedo ever fired in battle on Earth. This is probably a good omen.]

I thought we were on schedule for a 8 Combat Ambassador by 2313?
That was before Oneiros decided to completely revamp the custom ship design process. Fortunately, it seems as though maybe this was a false alarm, but you see why there's an issue.
Also, it isn't actually capped at 5, unless you mean phasers alone.
Okay, that's reassuring- if so, this was a false alarm.
If you have additional questions we should really go to the SDB thread with them. Questions that are directly about the design spreadsheet is exactly why it exists.
SWB, the problem is that the separate design thread has caused us to be so...
insulated... from the design process that people who aren't actively involved in design don't even know basic things about the process. A lot of people are working on the basis of information or assumptions that may well be a month or two out of date.
A certain amount of confusion is an inevitable result of this process. And frankly, trying to cram all the expression of that confusion back into the SDB thread isn't going to solve the problem, because of the large number of people who either don't read that thread, or who simply aren't going to be able to figure out enough of the details to get fully up to speed in the time available.
Was it already allocated? I just remembered it being the Connie that the Duranium Lady served on.
Side note: Duranium Lady is a lot easier to spell.
Alpha, you liked the omake where I reviewed this stuff. You
hugged the one where I had Leslie riding on
Lexington ... you did
read it, right?
The USS
Lexington is the new flagship of the anti-Syndicate task force. She and
Hood come out of Utopia Planitia in 2312Q2, and the Andorians will be wrapping up work on their sister
Republic at the same time.
Meanwhile
, Korolev and another, unnamed ConnieBee will be leaving San Francisco later in the year. The Vulcans turn out a pair of
Constitution-Bs next year, the Tellarites will finish one the year after that, and if the plan I'm voting for wins, the Andorians will complete the ninth and final Starfleet
Constitution-B some time in 2315.
At the moment, NAME2 and NAME3 are us voting on the names of the
Constitution-Bs being worked on by the Vulcan shipyard.
Defiant appears to be the overwhelming front-runner for NAME2, but there's disagreement over NAME3, especially since a lot of people voted
Intrepid, but there is already a ship by that name in Starfleet service.
Lexington was a valid Connie name.
Still, I'm open to suggestions. USS Everest?
Just to be clear, NAME1 is a vote on the name of the 2313
Excelsior, not on a
Constitution-B. There's at least one
Constitution-B coming out this year that doesn't have an assigned name, but I don't think Oneiros put that up to a vote.
*shakes fist at the universe*
Also, didn't we get pp when we named the 2nd Miracht?
That was right after the biophage crisis, and the first
Miracht died a particularly ghastly death. The loss of the explorer
Miracht to a random planetary survey mission gone wrong isn't going to have quite the same impact, so replacing it probably won't either.
Personally I'm with the crowd that want to wait and name the second
Ambassador-class explorer
Miracht.
