[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] [b]Ship commentary[/b]: I�m basically going by Timo�s Guide so for any detailed technical questions go there. [i]Excelsior[/i] Mk.III: A cruiser size vessel seems appropriate for a sector command, being big enough to house a command staff and appropriate fleet C3I facilities. In addition, a starship of this size is big enough to impress the locals, as well as mounting sufficient firepower to deal with any likely threat in a non-front line sector like this. The I]Excelsior[/I] also has fairly decent diplomatic facilities and I�ll make sure mine has a good chef and well stocked cellar for any events we may have to host ;) . Finally, there are plenty of [i]Excelsior[/i]s around, even after war losses, and the war construction programmes have provided many more modern ships for exploration and defence missions in more important sectors. [i]Nova[/i]: Small scientific vessels seem appropriate for the survey and exploration needs of this sector rather than anything bigger. With the elderly Oberths being retired or occupied in safer sectors and given the scientific potential of this sector, Starfleet wants its most modern surveyors on the job. [i]New Orleans[/i]: Again, not the most modern class in the fleet, but still a pretty capable vessel. A ship this size gives me a mid-sized multi-role vessel in case my flagship is disabled or otherwise engaged. The modular mounts also give the [i]New Orleans[/i] a certain amount of flexibility (although changing modules would require a certain amount of downtime). [i]Sabre[/i]: Decent light cruiser. Good for patrol, can take care of itself but also has fairly good sensors for preliminary scientific surveys. [i]Istanbul[/i]: Large general purpose transport and tender ship. Useful for any number of things; humanitarian missions, re-supply, emergency towing etc. [i]Orkney[/i]: this is the beefed up corvette version of the [i]Nova[/i]. The Starbase and Dorza are the primary fixed Federation assets which need to be protected; an [i]Orkney[/i] has more than enough punch to defend the system and I doubt Starfleet would mind parting from just one given that these were mass produced during the war. Now for Question 2� a) Critique of Harry�s response; three Defiants for a sector which isn�t on the front line and in which there are no significant and immediate threats? Seems slightly excessive. Other than that, do you have any specific plans to try and persuade the Dorzans that they should modify they culture? b) The following ships have arrived in sector: USS [i]Palmerston[/i] (NCC-36710) [i]Excelsior[/i] Mk.III class USS [i]Adrianople[/i] (NCC-34853) [i]Istanbul[/i] class The following ships have been delayed: USS [i]Thermistocles[/i] (NCC-58064), [i]New Orleans[/i] class USS [i]Katana[/i] (NCC-60259), [i]Sabre[/i] class USS [i]Stormbringer[/i] (NCC-60265), [i]Sabre[/i] class USS [i]Fortney[/i] (NCC-73551), [i]Nova[/i] class USS [i]Scott[/i] (NCC-73560), [i]Nova[/i] class USS [i]Arran[/i] (NCC-73607), [i]Orkney[/i] class 3) With only two combat capable ships at my disposal (and one of those a somewhat aged [i]Miranda[/i]) I don�t want to risk a confrontation with the Gorn, particularly as the specifics of their ships are unknown. Until the remainder of my fleet arrives [i]Palmerston[/i] will deploy a sensor net in the Zemch quarantine zone. 4) b) The civilian craft poses no threat to Semma. I�d point this out to them, along with the fact that Starfleet intervention would allow them to remain isolated and dispatch the [i]Adrianople[/i] and [i]Runnymede[/i] to recover and repair the civilian vessel before it reaches Semma. Any approach would be cautious. c) The Prime Directive allows me to do nothing except act a mediator in this situation. I�d also attempt to (discreetly) determine the extent of domestic opposition to the current form of government. This could possibly act as a catalyst to reform on Dorza. 5) The Gorn ships arrive in one of the uninhabited systems reserved for the Zemch. Once there, they rendezvous with what at first appears to be a small asteroid. Upon the arrival of one of your ships in the system, however, it becomes clear that it is the remains of a spaceship. The Gorn make contact, claim that the ship is theirs and that it predates the Federation presence in the area, meaning that the system (and possibly others) belong to the Gorn. The plentiful resources in this system make it one of the most important for the future development of the ZemchHow do you respond? [/QB][/QUOTE]
