User:Kimagurena/Miranda-B Refit Proposal

This page catalogues my efforts to build a better Miranda, and hopefully will serve as a more comprehensive explanation (for anyone who might happen to desire it) of why and how the Miranda has essentially reached a dead end of development, and the fact that further improvements are largely cost prohibitive.

The version in the sidebar, a moderate tweaking of the refit put together by Forgothrax (who deserves most of the credit, both for putting together the initial refit and for mapping out the Miranda-A design), cuts costs enough to sneak in an upgrade to the recreation package. This isn't enough of a change to have a mechanical effect, but I hope we can still find it in our hearts to choose to help out those poor Miranda crews stuck on the rickety old rumps of our fleet. At least until we can pawn our Mirandas off on some member worlds. Or possibly allies. Or even affiliates. Or anyone willing to promise they won't use them to shoot at us, really. Possibly even if we think they're lying about that.

Like Forgothrax's design, this is a 20 BR 10 SR refit; a bargain basement price for trying to squeeze a little more life out of a hull possibly made entirely out of duct tape and prayers. Which is the bulk resource and which is the special resource is still up for debate.

The Miranda-B is a vessel of marginal utility; if it is not the first to be retired/sold to free up crew (or scrapped for the meager array of resources it contains) that is largely an artifact of our ability to squeeze that one last bit of marginal utility out of turning it into some phasers on a stick--a capability we lack for designs held together by duct tape and black magic rather than prayers like the Oberth and Patroller-A. (These, in my opinion, are clear evidence that prayers are the bulk resource and duct tape the special resource; to suggest otherwise implies that you need more duct tape to hold together prayers than you do to hold together black magic, since Mirandas use more bulk resources but similar quantities of special resources to Patrollers and Oberths. And suggesting that black magic holds together better than prayers is clearly heresy.)

'But wait,' I hear some of you cry. Or possibly just hallucinate it after spending too long staring at spreadsheets. 'Surely if phaser arrays can breath a last bit of life into the aged and decrepit Miranda, then some of our other impending breakthroughs can further resuscitate these flying coffins. And possibly fix my broken metaphors along the way.'

'Nay,' says I, 'For you see, any such effort comes at enormous cost for dubious gain. But you needn't take my word for it. First let us consider...

Raising Combat
There are two basic ways to alter our refit to raise combat. We can either abandon phaser arrays--presumably leaning heavily on burst torpedoes--or first raise science to 5. Considering the first possibility, some quick fiddling suggests the most weight efficient tactical arrangement to try to achieve this appears to be with 2 light primary phasers, 3 light secondaries, 3 light burst torpedo launchers and a light targeting computer: total weight of 84 kt. (This reaches combat 5 with the help of a heavy isolinear computer, whose added weight I'll ignore for these purposes.) By comparison, the combat complement of our default design weighs only 50.25 kt. This increase far exceeds the ready slack that can be freed up by the march of progress; we can get 14 kt out of an SIF upgrade from older heavy parts to much newer parts of intermediate weight, plus a few more odds and ends from things like T4 labs and hull being a touch lighter than their T3 counterparts. But that leaves a C5 design eschewing phaser arrays moderately overweight, necessitating that some stat be reduced to fit, rendering this an expensive trade rather than an outright improvement over the base design.

Putting this all together, the cost of these using these shenanigans to achieve C5 S3

clocks in] at around 25 BR 25 SR, thus charging an extra 5 BR 15 SR over the base refit for the limited gain of exchanging a point of science for improved firepower, but more critically runs us over onto a second officer of crew. Slimming that back down looks to be just outside of the realm of possibility without dropping another stat point somewhere; stacking up to 6 of the crew efficient burst torpedo launchers looks to be just enough to cut the wayward point of crew, but renders the entire system overweight to a point just beyond the possibility of correction through other component changes.

Meanwhile, keeping phaser arrays while reaching C5 would necessitate...

Raising Science
As with raising combat, raising science runs into the primary difficulty plaguing the Miranda: a fundamental lack of space. Science, however, comes with the additional wrinkle that space is not just limited across the undersized outer frame, but also within the subframe shared with the computer, rec center, and sickbays. This leaves us with either the approach of accepting a decrease in presence (removing sickbays) to make space for enough long range and navigational sensors, or attempting to offload some into short range sensors instead.

little more promising], surprisingly enough, and can be tweaked to run for only 25 BR 20 SR while keeping a sickbay (kind of a must for an actual design) and shaving back off that added enlisted unit. That ranks it back up to merely being an expensive stat trade that doesn't free up enough space to increase anything else, rather than a ridiculously expensive stat trade that doesn't free up enough space to increase anything else and comes with additional problems.

But if increasing offensive power is an overpriced fool's errand, and increasing scientific capability is little better, we must move on to durability, starting with...

Raising Hull
Unlike the many possible permutations of raising science, or even the more modest array of options (bu-dum tish, rimshot) for raising combat, there aren't exactly many options for raising hull. This is further constrained by even a single heavy component being too much to fit in the hull subframe, leaving the remaining options easily optimized to two light hull components and four medium structural integrity field generators. This straightforwardly translates into an

H3 design] without reducing any other capabilities, but at a cost of 25 BR 20 SR and a persistently difficult to resolve increase in enlisted crew.

By comparison to the terrible tradeoffs we've seen so far, this probably looks positively reasonable (being the first to actually look like an upgrade). Yet it, and other options to follow are still an out-sized added expense doubling the SR cost of a marginal refit for only a small improvement in performance; not nearly enough to truly encourage its adoption.

Of course, apart from hull, there is another path to greater durability, and so we next examine...

Raising Shields
In order to raise any particular stat on this refit, we first need to make some changes to free up space. These principally came from two kinds of sources. First, installing an isolinear computer improves computer capabilities enough to remove a handful of other components to save space (with a cost of 1.4 BR 4.85 SR, less any gains for removed components). Second, upgrading to modern structural integrity field generators enables 14 kt of space savings from switching out heavy generators for medium ones (with a cost of 1.1 BR 2.41 SR, plus whatever increase we have from added components).

As we have seen, both of these together weren't quite sufficient to save enough space to increase combat or science, although they are sufficient to raise hull without removing anything else.

for T3 hull and T4 SIF available in 2327 would also work).

These round out the options of trying to improve the durability of the Miranda-B; as with the Hull option they each double up on the SR of the refit for a marginal improvement in the durability of a marginal vessel. This just leaves the last few straggling options left to be examined, starting with...

First], we can keep the old T-1 diplomatic package the design has indicated for the Miranda-A. This is narrowly sufficient to raise presence to 3 with an isolinear computer, and fits so long as we also toss in the structural integrity field space saving upgrade, and costs 25 BR 20 SR for the refit.

Second], we could upgrade that diplomatic package and use the extra presence to remove a sickbay. Alas, this increases the power requirements, ultimately increasing the refit cost to 25 BR 25 SR.

Third, we could try expanding the recreation system from compact to a fully sized modern system... but the result doesn't quite fit without cutting something from somewhere else, regardless of whether we use 5 light sickbays or 2 heavy sickbays to round out our presence of 3 (and a second recreation space is right out).

However, as heavy sickbays are rather crew-hungry this refit runs over into a second officer unit, in addition to its cost of 25 BR 20 SR. Stacking light sickbays requires an impractical journey into the realm of diminishing returns, even if the number required is offset by a second compact rec space.

These options join our other expensive 'improvements' for making the Miranda-B slightly closer to being the Centaur-B, despite the added decade of technological advance. And so we round out possible stat increases with...

Raising Defense
Raising the Miranda-B's defense is basically impossible without upgrading the nacelles. The navigational deflector and replication package are already being updated and built to capacity, respectively. The fuel storage could theoretically be expanded, but the 71 kt needed for heavy fuel tanks is well outside of what can be easily raised, and the 82 kt needed for an expansion to medium and stacking two more impulse engines on top of the existing two is even further out of reach. Trying to get to D6 directly with impulse engines and incidental sources (nav sensors, computers) is even less reasonable than that.

nacelle upgrade], on the other hand, is a relatively straightforward proposition. Jumping from the existing T-1 Miranda nacelles to the near future T3 nacelles neatly adds just over an entire point of D for only 0.25 kt of added internal space, a single point increase in power consumption and a refit cost of 3.03 BR 5.02 SR. This generally enables it to slot fairly neatly into any other refit for a cost increase of about 5 BR 5 SR. Whereas all of our other options add at least 10 SR for little or no real gain, this beats them all at merely costing 5 SR for little or no real gain, albeit with the added bonus of waiting even longer for the refit to be available.

Review
While it is possible to use further technology from the next few years to add another point of H, L, or P, in order to do so we generally must spend an additional 10 SR for such an improvement to free up the needed space on a refit already barely worth applying. Independently, we can also wait even longer to be able to improve D by a point by upgrading the Miranda's warp nacelles... but even the 5 SR that this costs is offering us a dubious degree of return for our investment.

After some consideration and some tweaking, there is now a minor

variant option] available. This maintains the same refit cost and overall statline, except it nudges over the line to round up the new build cost to 50 SR rather than 45 SR. This might be advantageous if no new hulls are going to be built (likely) as it slightly raises the scrap value of the existing fleet. This comes with the caveat that it may raise repair costs if some vessels are damaged but not destroyed.

FDS
With the advent of FDS courier service as a new peacetime use for Mirandas and other vessels not suitable for garrison or task force duty, there has been renewed interest in developing a Miranda-B design that manages a presence of 3. As discussed above, raising presence to 3 without compromising other stats on the design raises the refit cost to 25 BR 20 SR, and delays the refit by two years for more advanced technology. This is less than ideal as it keeps the FDS in P1 Miranda-As for longer, crowds into later berth commitments, and is a fairly large cost for what we would gain.

Instead, we can raise presence to 3 while maintaining the current timetable and budget by giving up two stat points in other categories; for example, a generalist Miranda refit might look like

Another option, as suggested by Sunrise, would be to forego the combat mission and just go with a Miranda-P refit that drops combat to 1 in order to raise presence to 3. Limiting the rest of the statline, this can be achieved with a refit costing only 5 BR and no SR.

There is some possibility that an alternative exists between this new spicy alternative and the original bland escort design; as far as I'm aware this is not nearly as thoroughly plumbed design space as direct enhancements of the original Miranda-B refit was.
