You slump deeper into your chair in the conference room after having to sit through a recorded message of High Admiral Ruhi expressing how very dissappointed she was over the outcome of your designs disastrous first battle. Bad luck, that’s all it had been. Blasted Ryu class had knocked out the drone controller with a cheap shot, if those idiots manning the cruiser could have held out for just a little longer the Hot Dogs would have annihilated the Imperial battlegroup!
“Acting Director?”
You blink and look up. Naturally Lt. Ferris and Solei had sat in on the message and now looked to you for the next course of action.
“Hrmph… we were so close. That cheap shot from the enemy flagship was such BULLSHIT!”
“Whether from a lack of luck or skill, a loss is a loss.”
“A ram ship might not have been the best way to counter our adversaries capabilities.”
“Are you admitting that you made a bad call Merik?”
“No, when I suggested the ram ship concept I was merely trying to make the best of a bad idea.”
“But it almost worked!”
“It was cringe Glasner…”
“You’re opinion has been noted Sub-Director!”
“CRIIINGE!”
“Ahem,” coughed Ferris. “Moving on. Despite the High Admirals displeasure there are many among Fleet Command that are intrigued by the possibilities of the plasma shield. Perhaps we could build on that?”
“It would be feasible to upgrade our existing Glory Class cruisers with shield projectors. This would increase their survivability.” Another simplistic idea from Solei, typical.
“Pfft! As long as they retain their short ranged batteries and handle like bricks, giving them a shield would just delay the inevitable.”
Ferris, scrolled back through the battle report. “The long range firepower of the Ryu class combined with its command and control capabilities proved decisive. If only we could find a way to counter or at least match them it would help tip the scales in our favour.”
“I’m telling you, the Hot Dog will turn the tide! It just needs… refining.”
>Work on the Mark II Hot Dog. (How will you improve it? Quick project although more extreme changes might take longer.)
>Create shield upgrade packages for your existing capital ships. (Quick project.)
>Design a counter to the Ryu. (Write-In, this will be a longer project.)
>Back to the drawing board. (Build something completely different, Write-In)
>Acquire or develop better technologies. (Will move onto a new decision.)
