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."
