make undertakings to start the design of the new Hospital Ships out of schedule

New hospital ship design? Interesting...

If Night's mini-omake is true in TBG, then this might mean one of our older designs being repurposed into a hospital ship design.

Perhaps some Constellations could be refit for this role? Those are speedy ships, and the high enlisted crew indicates that they have a decent amount of room for personnel that could be reconfigured into wards.

23 Cost To Date (13 After Resilience)

Can you inform us what our total cost is now?

If the total cost is halved every year, then our total cost should be: 51 (41 w/ resilience) (might be off by one due to rounding).
edit: 55 [2311 EOY] / 2 + 23 [2312.Q1]

Or is it only the total cost accrued last year (including or excluding resilience?) that is halved every year? And/or is the cost from more than a year ago now discarded?

Request Mining Colony at Corvo, 8pp (4 turns, gain +10 (15) sr/year) - ETC 2313.Q2

I just noticed that this will be getting us 15 SR with our current SR tech. I thought it was a +5 (10) colony!

Does this mean that once we get "Special Refining Techniques II" researched this year, this will become a +10 (20) colony?

Diplomatic Pushes:
Yrillians 90/100 + 23 = 113/100 - Affiliate Membership Internally + Externally Obstructed, but lines of dialogue opened

Well that's a pity. Curious to see how those "lines of dialogue" will play out.

Man, we've been really spoiled with our diplo pushes under the expansionists. Now the bulk of our relationship improvements with non-affiliates will have to come with events. Hopefully the SBZ and more FYMs can help out with that.

"Let's put together some numbers then," you say.

[Options to initiate a Orion Union Mercy Mission will be presented at the end of 2312.2.1]

Nice!

Council Sessions Preparing
After using the channels available to you as head of Starfleet, President sh'Arrath will be adding to the agenda for this year's Council Sessions closed sessions to address the pressing matters of Apiata-Cardassian-Federation antagonism, plus the matter of Sydraxian aggression.

You are being advised that the Apiata-Cardassian agenda item will be called at the end of 2312.2.2, and the Sydraxian agenda item at the end of 2312.2.3.

I'm hoping the Apiata Ambassador will be available for their sessions. We need to have a meeting of minds on this.

Well, we knew they weren't going to leap straight into affiliate status, but it's good to hear that at least something has changed. The Yrillians are listening to our pitch now.

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.

That sounds like an Amarki name.

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.

A big jump to Member World fleet power this turn. Collectively that's 21C/21D.

We just need the next UE centaur out of the docks to be called Fraternity and they'll have the whole set.
 
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.
 
Are member world fleets actually listed anywhere in this thread? I couldn't seem to find them in any of the reference posts.

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.

Edit: It is

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

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.
 
Hopefully we can get some relation boost events with grateians, Dawiar, holiani and ked peddah. But opening lines of communication with Yrillians is a good start.

Not as such. @OneirosTheWriter has given us looks here and there, but he doesn't keep any post continually updated with Member World fleets (probably because it would be too much of a pain in the ass). If you go back to the Grey October crisis posts, you can see member world assets listed there.
 
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.

Yea it's what I figured as well.

*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).

Well then we definitely need a new hospital ship design.

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.

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.

Even with the Syndicate, it's problematic if anyone we do eventually go to war with sees us doing it.
 
Did we just gained back-channels into the Syndraxians though the Yrillians?

Hmmm... if so, this can be very good, we can hope to de-escalate the situation and maybe even flip them.
