[QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [qb][b]QUESTION THREE (Four Parts)[/b] A) OBJECTIVELY CRITIQUE one of the answers to the hypothetical attacks in Question 2A.[/qb][/QUOTE]Hmm, well Timo and MinutiaeMan are clearly trying to start a trend of general niceness, and whilst I'd hate to see that continue I really can't see much to critique in any of the battle plans posted. :( [QUOTE][qb]B) Answer one or more of the questions posed by the other participants in Question 2C. Remember, at this point your fleet has not yet arrived. [/qb][/QUOTE]Timo's looks the most interesting. My first thought is "Ketracel White". If these are JemHadar then where are they getting their fix from? Either they have the backing of a group who can supply the drug, or these aren't JH at all but someone pretending to be JH. I'll make a public broadcast stating the second option (but not the first) with some luck that will downgrade the threat in people's minds and halt the spread of panic. Until my fleet gets here there's not a lot I can do (the Ataturk is busy as visiting Bifour IV or searching for the Ki; and the Rigorous isn't up to chasing a JH ship, even if its only a bug crewed by non-JH). So apart from asking the Jovali and Bifour Cardies to pool inteligence on this alledged JH ship I'm just going to play the public relations game and site tight. When the fleet gets here we can go a-hunting. [QUOTE][qb]C) The fleet you requisitioned in Q1 arrives in full, with an additional present: the USS [i]Aristophanes[/i] (Miranda-class, Saratoga-refit, NCC-31923).[/qb][/QUOTE]Basic assignments are shown on http://steve.pugh.net/fleet/gamma-3.gif Note that the Naginta and Assesgai will be patrolling the shipping lanes, specifically Jovalis - Federation Core and Lucreazea - Federation Core. They may also patrol the Jovalis - Lucrezea route if needed to but that area will mostly be covered by the Ataturk and the Indefatigable. The Aristophanes will have a standing order to stay at least two light years away from the border. [QUOTE][qb]1) The Lucrezeans get their act together and purchase some ships to head up their militia.[/qb][/QUOTE]Three warp capable warships for a population of 12,000? That's more firepower per head than any of the major powers! I'm going to apply diplomatic pressure to make these guys cool down a bit. I'm also glad that my best warship, the New Orleans class Indefatigable is patrolling the Lucrezea/G'Sall region. If things turn nasty she's a match for any one of these ships and could hold her own against two or even three of them. [QUOTE][qb]2) Whatever search party you sent out to find the USS [i]Ki[/i] finds a gaggle of escape pods close to the pulsar in the adjoining sector, containing about a third of her crew.[/qb][/QUOTE]I'll ask the Bifour Govt if they have any details on the extent and density of this minefield. Further I'll ask them if they want to start a joint clearance operation. On the quiet I'll also ask the main Cardassian Union authorities whether Central Command records have anything on this minefield. Whilst waiting for replies I'll put out a warning to all shipping and update the Starfleet star charts. The Ataturk will leave some marker bouys behind as she brings the survivors back. [QUOTE][qb]3)However, a bombshell is dropped when a cylinder holds a referendum not to separate, but to move – separatists in a Deyal group cylinder want to move their home the Cluster.[/qb][/QUOTE]Ah hell. They couldn't have asked before the Rigorous was decommissioned could they? Well there's no need for to tie up two ships for the whole period. Welcome to Operation Newton - ships grab the cylinder with tractor beams and apply impulse thrust to change the momentum of the cylinder. Ships go off and carry out other duties. Cylinder drifts nice and slowly into new orbit. Ships return, grab cylinder with tractor beams and apply impulse thrust to stabalise orbit with respect to the rest of the cluster. If the really want to be under tractor the whole time they can go and hire commercial shipping to do it. I'll use the Ushos and the Aristophanes to do the initial and final tractoring, in between the Ushos can get on with ferrying in supplies for the DS12 upgradinga and the Aristophanes can cruise round the sector doing training type stuff. [QUOTE][qb]D) Create another scenario like those in part C, except this time it involves your whole fleet. Feel free to follow up on the scenario you created in Q2.[/qb][/QUOTE]Okay, following on from before... Whatever action you take the Ferengi and Cardassians start shooting at each other. After inflicting some damage they both turn tail and run in opposite directions. If your ship(s) was in the middle then it may have sustained some light damage as well. All is quiet for a while until the Ferengi Marauder returns, but this time she has company - another Marauder, two smaller Ferengi ships and five Nausican corvettes. They head straight for Zechs. The DaiMon contacts you and says that he is a legitamate trader and will deliver his valuable cargo whatever it takes. He refuses to discuss what his cargo is, who on Zechs is the buyer, or why it is so profitable that he's hired mercenaries to get it there. He asks you to either stay out of his way or to provide an escort. The Bifour Cardassians, who now have a Galor and two Hidekis around Zechs remember, say that they will not allow any cargo to be beamed down. They send a second Galor and another Hideki to Zechs, but these ships will arrive after the convoy, unless you do anything to slow it down - which is exactly what the Cardassians ask you to do. Oddly enough, up to now intelligence hasn't suggested that anyone on Zechs has large amounts of money... Over to you. [/QB][/QUOTE]
