Getting into politics will very likely make us some enemies as well as allies, but neutrality will better ensure less enemies

[Nirur Torir]

B.
At a minimum, it helps make up for us bleeding rep. At best it will help us get independent faster, so we'd hopefully get more missions like "Get ships able to deal with the fighter-heavy rebels, before they break out into open rebellion" and less like "Get a ship with X Y and Z stats by date N."
And befriending the admiral (of 3 converted warships) will really help cement our position.

You decide to have a conversation with Mrs.Surar.

7!*

You manage to convince her that such a fine vessel was made at such a budget, a larger budget will only get the UEP forces much better designs and stronger research division.

"I've always wanted to put my business work into something important." She sighs, looking as Oceanic slowly flies past the observatory's windows. "Now I know where our budget must be directed - into the stars! I shall do my best to convince the higher-ups in Parliament to give your Bureau more money at the next budget session."

Stardate 25.9

You receive the Parliamentary evaluation of Oceanic-class cruiser.

In the report, the Committee points out that it is a design that was put together quickly nad without proper development, owing to the short deadline. Despite this, your Bureau managed to fulfill some of the demands set by the Parliament. The Committee believes the Bureau is doing its work and should be given better support from the Parliament.

Speaking of the Parliament, they've sent you the new design demand...

"They want a corvette." Your department heads look at you.

"And that's it?" Your Chief Designer asks, looking at his colleagues in confusion.

"Apparently, yes? There are no further demands on the marks or capabilities of the craft." You explain. "We have until Stardate 26.6 to present the Parliament's committee a space-worthy Corvette."

"At least this time we have much more time. Should we spend the time on beefing the vessel up? We could make it bristling with small batteries and anti-fighter cannons." The Chief Designer is followed by the Dr.Volantis, your Science Director.

"My team is few days from testing the 'Warp Modulators', as we call them for now, in the field on board a science vessel. If we postpone the design making until 26.0, we could implement the Modulators into the corvette's engines."

As for making the corvette extra-shooty...

A) "Firepower is important, and the more guns the better!"
B) "Let's be conversative with the corvette's design, Chief Designer."

As for waiting for Warp Modulators...

A) "We will deliver them a prototype and test Dr.Volantis' theories in one go!"
B) "I would rather not implement experimental devices into this design, Mrs.Volantis."

My reasoning is that they didn't specifically ask for firepower, so why put expensive extra guns on a ship that might blow up in our face experimental vessel?

I’m guessing that since the previous ship we built specified weapons, we are in a war, so adding weapons to the ship will assist in this war we are in

There's been nothing said about a war as such, rather a stage of rising tensions*. And I'm only saying skip the extra guns, not leave them all off.

(*Of which I suspect our employers are not the least innocent party. Which I guess would feed into wanting more guns, actually.)
