UT has definately noticed that we put out four ships of a new class. They will know that we've learned of the existence of jump points, but probably won't think we've developed jump tech that quickly. Since gravimetric sensors are revealed along with Jump Point Technology, any indication that we are surveying Sol will indicate that we've developed the ability to exploit jump points through ship-based jump engines. We have may have a potential bounty of TNE to be found and exploited in addition to the apparently plentiful near-ideal colonization candidates, and it won't take long to know. Right now, knowing what is on those planets is more important than finding new systems - and potentially an existential threat - next-door.
Therefore, we should pretend that the newly launched Tangaroa-class ships are a new type of destroyer or frigate, and dispatch it towards Triton base. At some point in transit, change directions and hit the new jump point. Once in system, perform a geo-survey of planets/moon. Such a maneuver is not likely to conceal our capabilities for long, but if we can delay our advancements being revealed it may bring an advantage down the line. As the captain of Dubious Distinction, I volunteer my ship to survey the fifth planet of -A star.
Same diversion should preferably be used for our jump-gate construction ship, but that may be too late, and not as likely to succeed due to larger Thermal signatures involved.

Just a few quick work ups. Should cover most of the requirements for a fleet, and open to tweaking. I don't think multi-purpose ships are that useful -- if you're going to do something, do it all the way. Some of these are not as useful at this tech level -- like the missile escort cruiser -- but can get better easily with better missile tech, which requires 0 modifications to the ship.
We 100% need some fast fuel tenders to go along with these fleets to give them any sort of legs, but they fit the requirements.

Overcrowding doesn't kick in for 5 days. I.e. until after the battle is over. If you really want to bring cryo, put them on support ships where they aren't degrading the effectiveness of combat vessels.
It's really fun when your combat occurs during that 5 day production cycle. And I think Saros has the production cycle set to a much shorter period, though I might be mistaken on that.
Your point still stands, though.

I think I've come around to the hybrid approach, but with a kinda of Melissa Meyer twist. Using a crapton of box launchers, you can add a lot of missile capabilities while closing. Going to size 4 vs the size 6 I was anticipating changes the calculus also.

for those that are unfamiliar with how jumps work in Aurora, there are two kinds of jumps: standard and combat.
Standard jumps can be accomplished by a fleet with at least one jump engine and all ships under the size of that jump ship/engine. They drop you out exactly at the jump point on the other side and give jump delay 5 or so minutes. A ship with a jump drive may sit on either side of the jump point and allow fleets with appropriately sized ships to transit the jump point- such a ship is usually referred to as a tender. A jump point that has a jump gate built by a construction ship acts as a infinitely sized tender for the side that it is built on, allowing standard transits for everyone.
Combat jumps can carry a number of ships of appropriate size through up to the jump drive rating, with the default fir military drives being 3 ships, including the jump ship. These jumps drop the fleet out a distance away from the jump point - any where from 50k to 2.5m km depending on tech of the jump engine - and give ships a much smaller delay. Combat jumps require the fleet to have adequate jump capacity within it to cover all the ships.

Another problem that came up is our woeful lack of civilian shipyard capacity. The IC blew up all but 3 of our civvie yards, and those three need to go to 1) gatebuilders, 2) troop transports, and 3) tankers. You'll notice there's a distinct lack of freighters and colony ships, which are critical for both shipping as many Earthers as we can to Mars and as many Martians as we can to the colonies.
Lucky for us, the TFS has a shiny new civvie shipyard complex they got as reparations from the IC, and desperately want some work for it. I propose that we contact them about contracting as many of their slipways as they're willing to rent us to build 1) colony ships, 2) terraforming ships, and 3) freighters, all of which we're gonna need an approximate metric fuckton of to properly develop our colonies.
Just to tidy it all up in one line, Saros, can we contact Earth about opening immigration and contact the TFS about building civvie ships?
Here's a quick design for civilian ships. If a yard is tooled for either the colony ship, troop transport or tanker, it can also build the cargo ship

What's the load/unloading times for those? You usually want to get under a day and I usually shoot for 8-10 hours.
12 hours for the troop transport, 1 day for cargo, 2 for colonists. Each has 2 Improved Cargo Handling Systems on it, can be increased to suite Mars' needs.

The lead scientist on the Dubious Distinction pens a report to his superiors on Mars simply titled "gently caress this system, its bad news and I hope we live long enough for me to say I told you so."
quote:"It just feels like a bad idea right now" opines Sloshmonger, captain of the Dubious Distinction.
I'm so incredibly proud of my crew.

Oh and if you are on this list and not commanding the Farseeker I am going to need for someone to put their hand up to scout the far system if the vote goes that way.
B
As commander of the Dubious Distinction, I demand this honor.

So.
I'm wondering if those Raks were all that was on the other side of the JP, if it's clear to explore. Or if there's more crabs on the way and now aware of humanity.
Well, if you do go, please remember to grab my corpse.

There's a chance that both of those large ships are civilian ships, right?
Right???
