[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I'm going to respond to Neutrino's critiques, since I assume that it's not going to be part of the next question. If it is, I'll just have my work done early! ;) I took the word "escorts" to mean "combat-capable starships" for general defense of the sector. I requested the [i]Miranda[/i] and the destroyers mainly to free up the equivalent heavy ships already assigned to the sector for anti-pirate duty. I view the strategic deployment of starships to be a bit more fluid -- at least, in theory. Any of the ships should be able to be redeployed at any moment. For example, what if I've got a huge convoy, and some intel that the Penxi intend to throw their heavy cruisers against it? Then I'll need to send in the [i]Miranda[/i] for adequate defense. As far as the deployment of "hunter-killer" teams, all Starfleet transports are well capable of defending themselves for short periods of time (c.f. "The Pirates of Orion"). Long enough for any nearby starships to respond. My hope (and I forgot to mention this, actually) is that I'll be able to catch the pirates in the act and nail a bigger percentage of their forces in the bargain. But just sending in heavy escorts will do nothing but discourage attacks against the escorted transports, and the pirates will just focus on civilian traffic instead. (You did remember the civilians, I hope?) By spreading the net a bit wider, there's the chance of a few attacks slipping through, but I'll still be in position to close the net and catch the attackers, with a minimum of overall damage done.
