[QUOTE]Originally posted by akb1979: [QB] 2A – Criticise someone’s answer to Q1 I chose to criticise all answers. Everybody’s answer appears to be OK. The only problem I have is the merchant fleet issue. How can every convoy be defended at once? A fine balance needs to be made but with the boarder being patrolled as well I don’t think it can be covered very well. However if the Akira’s in my plan were to come with some runabout and the starbase was equipped with some that [i]might[/i] help a bit. So too would the attack fighters – they could extend the patrol range of the Akiras. Mmm, some more thought is needed me thinks. 2B – Loose two largest/best equipped ships from fleet. This is a toughie. Largest (determined by length) would be Excelsiors. Best equipped – I’d say Nebula. Or it could be Akiras with their fighters/runabouts. Which ones do I loose? I’ll go for two Nebulas. As a result of this loss I’d assign the two Excelsiors on primary diplomatic duty with secondary duties of defence. 2C – Possible scenarios (i) Pirate Attacks Well since I still have my Akira’s this should be no problem. Having each ship fitted with three squadrons of attack fighters they’d make pretty good “hunt and destroy” groups. I could always pull some runabouts from the starbase to assist in the interception/hunting missions as well as pull the two extra Excelsiors from their diplomatic duties (leaving the teams on the planets). I could also use my command ship as well. (ii) The nearest ships would be my command ship – the USS Courageous, NCC-62579 and one or both of the Intrepids that would now be on boarder patrol. If the planetary survey is not finished then the other ship would be the Excelsior on diplomatic duties at Kestu IX. I’d move my command ship to investigate with the other Excelsior also as support. I’d also put all ships within the sector on yellow alert and have the nearest Akiras move closer to the boarder (the ones on the Kestu IX/Tekanan trade route and the Kestu/Lysar route). (iii) I would take my command ship to Tekanan III and respond personally that a ship has been sent to investigate. This ship would be one of the Akiras – whichever is closest (probably the one on the Kestu/Lysara route). I’d move a second Akira (Tekanan/Lysara route) and the Excelsior on diplomatic duty at Lysara into a support position which does not hinder convoy defence. Should the convoys look threatened at this time I’d pull one of the two Intrepids over to investigate while pulling the other back onto my side of the boarder to ensure it is not considered to be trespassing. 2D – My own scenario! :D A distress signal is received from a Kestu taskforce. Upon arriving at the scene you discover that of the ships engaged in the fleet manoeuvres (5 warships and 10 fighters) only two warships remain in one piece – both being heavily damaged and requiring immediate evacuation – and only one fighter left but crippled and with the pilot dead. This event has severely weakened the Kestu’s position and strength in the sector, but (excluding Starfleet) it is still the most powerful and well defended. The other two planets don’t want you to assist the Kestu forces – if you do then Tekanan will withdraw its application to join the Federation. While Lysara has made no demands, its trade to Kestu has been reduced by fifteen percent and its warships have moved closer to Kestu. The cause of this incident appears to be a catastrophic “accident” with the training packages that caused the ships to fire using full-powered weapons rather than simulated. With no shields, the ships were exposed and easily vulnerable. Sabotage is suspected. You should also consider that the Kestu, should you not assist them, will declare all non-Kestu enemies and declare war on everyone in the sector as they suspect everyone in playing a part in this sabotage. What do you do? Do you help the Kestu forces rescue their injured crews and investigate who is responsible for the sabotage? Would you be willing to risk losing the Tekanan membership? Or would you stay out of it and face a war? [/QB][/QUOTE]
