I'm guessing that only some of the reports should say refits.

Why?
That's the Gretarians.we were explicitly told that they were being extorted by the sydraxians
refit of the UES Liberty (Excelsior-class Explorer, Federation Registry NCC-2017) is
the refit of the USS Torbriel (Oberth-class long range explorer, Fleet Order NCC-1511) is
oh, right. the yrillians were the raiders.
make undertakings to start the design of the new Hospital Ships out of schedule

To Whom It May Concern,
As per Starfleet Regulations IV-12 (a), as Superintendent of this Shipyard Berth, I herein certify that the project under my command, the construction of the USS Torbriel (Oberth-class long range explorer, Fleet Order NCC-1511) is complete, assessed, and ready to be added to the Fleet Register.

Admiral,
In addition to our own Constitution-B class starships, the following ships have also been completed by UFP members:
VCS Eridani (NCC-1749) at Chelok-An Shipyard Berth B in Vulcan
TS Krinuk (NCC-1750) at Grand Duk Berth A in Ord Grind Duk
UES Equality (NCC-1751) at Luna Orbital Berth A in Sol
Also, as you have no doubt been informed by Starfleet Shipyard Operations, the UES Liberty has been commissioned at Utopia Planitia.
The UESPA fleet has gone from giggle-worthy to respectable overnight!A big jump to Member World fleet power this turn. Collectively that's 21C/21D.

Honestly, better hospital ships sound like something we would like to have anyway. They can carry out humanitarian missions, transport both refugees and supplies, and should hopefully have the defenses and defensive weapons to survive without issue in dangerous space.
As an added benefit, they should also have the space to fill in as ground-troop carriers (for the Caitian police, for example), should we ever need them. Not that I foresee us actually conducting planetary assaults on a large scale anytime even remotely soon, but at least having the option should we ever need it is nice.
Wikipedia said:Hospital ships were covered under the Hague Convention X of 1907.[9] Article four of the Hague Convention X outlined the restrictions for a hospital ship:
- Ship must be clearly marked and lighted as a hospital ship
- The ship should give medical assistance to wounded personnel of all nationalities
- The ship must not be used for any military purpose
- The ship must not interfere with or hamper enemy combatant vessels
- Belligerents, as designated by the Hague Convention, can search any hospital ship to investigate violations of the above restrictions
- Belligerents will establish the location of a hospital ship
We should NEVER, EVER transport military units or military supplies on a hospital ship. We cannot ever afford to train our opponents to fire on hospital ships or for anyone to suspect that our hospital units are being used for untowards purposes.
...It might actually be a form of warcrime IIRC.
This is almost certainly the reason why the Olympic class looks so wildly different from any other Starfleet design. One should never allow hospital ships to be confused for military ones.I'm completely agreed on this, they shouldn't even share the same hull design/shape. Our hospital ships must never have the chance for being mistaken as anything other than what they are.
Are member world fleets actually listed anywhere in this thread? I couldn't seem to find them in any of the reference posts.
Yep
*cough* well, your current Hospital Ship and Engineering ships are both (narratively) based off of the pre-Connie Ranger class. (I prefer the version of it in STO).I'm completely agreed on this, they shouldn't even share the same hull design/shape.

In this case we are talking about a police action against criminals, after getting the approval of the local goverment. And the Syndicate is definitly not above attacking civilian or humanitarian targets.We should NEVER, EVER transport military units or military supplies on a hospital ship.

Edit: It is
Even with the Syndicate, it's problematic if anyone we do eventually go to war with sees us doing it.In this case we are talking about a police action against criminals, after getting the approval of the local goverment.

It's still not a good idea to transport police-supplies on the hospital ships, but not nearly as problematic as it would be in case of an actual war.
