[X][REPORT] Ship Analysis Report: Sydraxian Kalindrax Cruisers
[X][REPORT] History and current status of the war between the Licori and the Ked Peddah
Here is my argument. If we're going to start skirmishing with the Cardassians more aggressively, extra combat strength could be very useful. Romulans, well, I had to pick something from the list and getting a report on their newest cruiser seems like a good idea. As for the open reports, if we're going to war with the Sydraxians at the end of the year, understanding the abilities of their ships as well as their shipbuilding status could be very critical. I think for a war that's about to start, devoting two reports to them is reasonable.
The last report is a wildcard, but there is a war on our borders that we have been warned risks dragging in our affiliate, the Gaeni. The Gaeni have told us that if the Ked Peddah defeat the Licori then they might be next on the menu. I think it's critical to get a grip on this war before it blows up in our face.

Sydraxian fleet strength from 2310:

The other is a Kalindrax, which is a heavy-weight cruiser, sort of like a more well-rounded, faster Jaldun-class that masses about 1.8mt.
7~10 Hasque Escorts

Constellations should be categorized as escorts for tactical purposes; they lack the firepower and especially the durability to be a competitive 24th century cruiser design.
True, but not by a large margin. I'd take five of our cruisers and five of our escorts against five of their cruisers and five of their escorts, and be comfortable with the result. Plus, half our "cruisers" are heavy explorers that can handle themselves against their cruisers quite nicely.
The only thing that might be awkward is if they start rolling out their next-generation cruiser design faster than we can roll out Rennies and Excelsior refits later in the decade, and that seems unlikely.
They're a military dictatorship and can do pretty much whatever they damn well please, unless they have an armed enemy likely to attack them on the other side (possible) or restive subject races that might rebel (possible). And the latter doesn't require them to concentrate modern starships.
If they send half their fleet and the Federation sends enough ships to counter that, we're out of "skirmishing" and up to "it's a war zone." At which point other options are on the table, like us forming up a fleet to strike at their logistics, or threatening their continued control of Bajor.

Fleets, I note. I think this is only useful in an open war situation where masses of ships may fight directly. I'd save that bonus for a time where fleet actions are more likely myself.

@Briefvoice... I don't think we actually have ANY information on the size of the Romulan navy.
@OneirosTheWriter, it isn't listed as an option. Is that an oversight on your part, or is it intentional? If it's intentional, I'll change my vote to get a report on the latest Romulan cruiser shortly.

I think you're construing the report unreasonably narrowly.
I'm not to worried about the exact stats of the Kalindraxes, they're weaker than Excelsiors, stronger than any of our escorts, and probably about as strong as a ConnieBee but probably not stronger.
For this reason, I swapped the report on Sydraxian cruisers for the report on Syndicate resilience we've wanted for a year or two.
I'm not worried about the Lecarre since they don't seem to be an urgent problem that we need a military solution to. We need a counterintel solution to them, but Linderley is probably already on MAXIMUM INFILTRATOR DETECTION OVERDRIVE as it is, even without us telling him to be. I doubt that us ordering him to do stuff differently would result in better results. He may not be great at foreign analysis, but by Qute the man can play spy games.

I think Fleet strength has to be one of the General Reports since the Romulan and Cardassian give specific option with no write in.

Maybe, but it is kinda the letter of the thing, and I'm a bit cautious.
@OneirosTheWriter is it only for fleet actions or does it count for single-ship/small-group skrimishes as well?

I mostly agree with Briefvoice here but I think we should get the Romulan fleet strength report. Since we can't get it with our locked ROM action we do have to request it. It's a major flaw not to have this for such a crucial major power. If we had another report I would certainly get an analysis of the Hasque or Kalindrax, or Orion resilience. But we don't.
By the way, if you're asking for Syndicate resilience, I would phrase it like this:
[ ][REPORT] Syndicate resilience and potential vulnerabilities to reduce resilience.
As that gives us actionable intelligence instead of just knowing about what # it is.
EDIT: Vote changed as we are allowed the ROM fleet strength report.

Oneiros has repeatedly offered us Romulan Fleet Strength reports as a Romulan option in the past, as I recall. To me, the most probable explanation is that he just forgot and left that option out.
If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, I'll edit my vote later. No time now.

Even if you don't take it that way, it probably doesn't matter. A C6 ship with a 5% boost is...C6.3. It just isn't going to matter very much in single-ship actions regardless.

[X][ROM] Romulan Daljerra Cruiser Report
[X][REPORT] Cardassian Diplomatic Posture Report
[X][REPORT] Dawiar Diplomatic Posture Report
[X][REPORT] History and current status of the war between the Licori and the Ked Peddah
It has been since before their brief diplomatic silence that we asked about Cardassian diplomatic posture, so we should get an update. For planning a possible war it's important to know whether the Dawiar are going to stay neutral, and it would also be nice to know how easy it would be to get them to break away. I think "more well-rounded, faster Jaldun-class" is enough for planning, that basically nails the Kalindrax' stats down as 4 4 4 4 4 5 (with perhaps presence or science off by a point). If we are going to inquire about one of the Sydraxian ship classes the Hasque would make a bit more sense, but we can more or less assume 3 across the board and should be close enough, so no high urgency there either.

I assume that it would apply even if each 'fleet' consists of only one ship.
I agree that if Romulan Fleet Strength is a legal vote for the 'free' Romulan report than we should take it. It didn't appear to me to be a legal vote, and I didn't want to spend a general vote on it.

It's for anything I need to go to my combat app for, which can admittedly be a little on the arbitrary side.
Yeah, I would swap to ROM fleet strength in an instant if it was allowed.

We can get resilience maybe, but I'm very skeptical that we can get extra options to reduce resilience out of a Syndicate Report. Our guys are already trying as hard as they can!
@OneirosTheWriter is Romulan Fleet Strength Report allowed for the locked ROM tactical report?
I'd like to understand how their resilience is structured, even if our people don't have the ability to act on it at this time. It will guide future strategy, especially future amendments to our legistlation. e: For example, if Intelligence concludes that the Syndicate is resilient because we aren't really touching their cash streams, then we need more mercantile oversight like the Vulcan investigators.
