I say wait with that all-air power idea, concentrate on the incoming war with Austria. Especially that they don't seem to have any CVLs.

You decide that this is what the Parliament will like when you ask them for more funding!
They shoot you down. Some of the MPs that spoke with you believe that your incessant demands for more funds without actually accomplished anything isn't helping your attempts at all.
You reconvene the meeting by the next day cycle. The department heads, Dr.Volantis especially, look at you optimistically.
A) "Let's keep it steady, everyone, else we run outta funds..."
B) "Parliament said no, but I say yes - you will get extra funding for Research, Mrs.Volantis."

You call up a meeting.
Dr.Volantis shows you a holo-projection of the Warp Field theory; in which the Warp Bubble, considered to be a geometrically-constant spherical phenomenon that shrinks or expands depending on strength of the effect, is actually prone to 'bulging' and 'elongation', terms coined by your Science Director. Bulging and Elongation processes require, unsurprisingly, energy manipulation near the Warp's source.
"In short, this would revolutionize the design of spaceships and allow for larger vessels, less ball-or-cigar shaped designs too. Elongation would also allow the ship's drive to waste less power thanks to less area required by the drive to be Warped."
"Better energy management, larger mass displacement." You summarize. "Exactly." Mrs.Volantis nods and turns off the holo-projection.
A) "Splendid. I shall allocate more funds into Research, Mrs.Volantis. Ten million credits more is sufficient, I believe!"
B) "This is all nice, but not worthy of pursuit right now."
C) "Interesting theory. I shall ask the Parliament to increase Bureau's budget, then we can talk about more funding for the Science Department."

You send the Oceanic for testing.
Oceanic undergoes series of combat tests.
It quickly proves that the turrets, while possessing great tracking capability and turning speed, are quite lacking in arc-of-fire coverage, resulting in few blind spots, mostly due to external hull bits in the way, or due to gun turrets inability to depress below certain degree of firing.
This forced your designers to re-assess Oceanic's AFC rating from 3 to 2.
Oceanic undergoes a series of space travel and stress tests.
Chief Designer Al-Fadil is pleased to report that nothing is wrong with the design in these fields. Thrusters, engine and the hull are just as they should be.
Mrs.Volantis, your Science Director, is requesting a meeting with you and other department heads. She and her team want to show you preeliminary report on their findings on something called 'Warp Fields', as well as ask for better funding for Engine research.

You send the design for the approval of the Parliament.
The Parliament approves.
The hull of UEPC Oceanic is being built at the Titan Drydocks!
As the cruiser is being constructed, there's a more and more tension in the air. The people of Altair colonies have filled a major complaint against the Parliament, citing that they're working themselves off for benefit of Earth.
There have been also incidents of the rioting and assaults on Parliamentary police forces in Ross 128.
You watch from the window screen as UEPC Oceanic leaves the drydock. The big starship bristles with small turrets, and its quadruple main ion thrusters look like gigantic welding torches.
All-in-all, it costed 22 M.Credits from Ship Design Bureau's budget to construct the ship.
This ship is now a Prototype, which means it requires to undergo several tests and cruises before it can be said to be truly completed. During the testing, there will be inevitably a reevaluation of its performance and flaws in the design shall become visible.
A) "Pfft, my team did a good job. Let's tell the Parliament we're done - they will reward us for finishing our job before deadline!"

You tell the departments' heads that work is to commence on the design. You remind them it must be good for long range operations and be able to successfully fight against numerous small craft.
Doesn't take long for your people to come up with a proper design!
"What do we have here?" You ask, and Chief Designer explains.
"We did our best in such a short time. AFC and LRO marks are as high as we could get them with current technology and miniaturization of electronic equipment."
"No main armament?"
"None." The Chief Designer murmurs. "We thought it would be more efficient to install several miniature railguns across port and starboard than a big one in front." You wonder if the Parliament accepts a design without some big guns on a Cruiser...

You postpone your decision until you get the Parliament to do some deadline move done.
That fails quite effectively, and you're now being considered for replacement as your proposal so early at start of the Bureau has greatly undermined your reputation and the MP's belief in your capabilities as Bureau's Director.
You call in another meeting with the department heads. "That didn't go as planned."
"Therefore..."
A) "We must take risks and wait for Dr.Volantis' team to finish their research!"

You allocate moderate amount of funds to pursue Engine technology.
Not much happens except an increase of worrying TV reports; apparently, there has been increase in piracy and civil disorder in Ross 128, Anser and Beta Corvi colonies. These are some of the largest yet furthest of UEP colonies out there...
You receive a coded message from the Parliament.
The Bureau is ordered to design a Small-size Cruiser, with relatively high marks in Anti-Fighter Capability and Long-Range Operations by Stardate 25.4 and they want a Prototype flying and tested before Stardate 25.7.
You gather the heads of your Bureau's departments.
Chief Designer Yaqub Al-Fadil: "Finally, some work to do besides drawing up engine chambers. We will have a design ready in less than one-zero, Director."
Yard Director Alexander W.Orff: "Our drydocks in orbit of Titan are currently empty, so unless you skip on the proper budgeting, I believe we can have the Prototype flying before the second half of Stardate 25 hits. If anything happens, the crew is ready for adjustments and repairs."
Science Director Efa Volantis: "We're not that far from finding a way to improve the Subspace Drives. If we postpone the design and construction a little bit, we might incorporate the new drives into the Prototype and test it as well, scoring two birds with one stone, as you Earthlings say."
A) "That is an interesting proposal, Mrs.Volantis, but I would rather not fail the deadline on our very first project. No delays!"
B) "I believe Mrs.Volantis' has a good idea, but I think we need more time for that, right? We will return to this after I meet with the Parliament to discuss deadline move first."
C) "Great idea, Mrs.Volantis. We shall postpone the design until your scientists are done."

The Bureau is ordered to design a Small-size Cruiser, with relatively high marks in Anti-Fighter Capability and Long-Range Operations by Stardate 25.4 and they want a Prototype flying and tested before Stardate 25.7.
You gather the heads of your Bureau's departments.
Chief Designer Yaqub Al-Fadil: "Finally, some work to do besides drawing up engine chambers. We will have a design ready in less than one-zero, Director."
Yard Director Alexander W.Orff: "Our drydocks in orbit of Titan are currently empty, so unless you skip on the proper budgeting, I believe we can have the Prototype flying before the second half of Stardate 25 hits. If anything happens, the crew is ready for adjustments and repairs."
Science Director Efa Volantis: "We're not that far from finding a way to improve the Subspace Drives. If we postpone the design and construction a little bit, we might incorporate the new drives into the Prototype and test it as well, scoring two birds with one stone, as you Earthlings say."
A) "That is an interesting proposal, Mrs.Volantis, but I would rather not fail the deadline on our very first project. No delays!"
B) "I believe Mrs.Volantis' has a good idea, but I think we need more time for that, right? We will return to this after I meet with the Parliament to discuss deadline move first."
C) "Great idea, Mrs.Volantis. We shall postpone the design until your scientists are done."

You are Nikolas Orion!
The luna conflict did not deter you from pursuing your dream, and you became a financier, but your ties to spacefaring businesses made you prime candidate for Director of UEPSD Bureau. Thanks to this, you will be able to better manage the Bureau's finances.
Spoiler: Technologies so far (click to show/hide)
Very quickly you're given permission to learn some interesting science secrets - the Parliament has been, on its own, funding some research projects away from the gaze of the public. Their scientists were on verge of discovering new Communications, Kinetic Weapons and Engine technologies.
Spoiler: Ship Design (click to show/hide)
Your Bureau must work quickly - the only 'cruiser', if it can be called, is a big armed merchant ship class converted into railgun-toting warship. No doubt the Parliament wants its fledging navy to be made of something much more substantial.
Spoiler: Budget (click to show/hide)
Vice-Director explains that the budget is mostly determined by Parliament's funding. Currently, the Bureau is not allowed to earn money on itself, but maybe in the future...
It would be wise to set-up everything before we let the people work on whatever you tell them to do!
Which at the moment means you gotta tell people what to research. Half of the money you allocate will be used to pursue a specific technology breakthrough, the other half to continue research in the other fields.
How much money?
A) 15 M.Credits
B) 30 M.Credits
C) 40 M.Credits
Which Tech?
A) Engines!
B) Thrusters!
C) Hull!
D) Energy!
E) Kinetic!
F) Comms!

New thing has started!
You decide to invite some elven 'alchemists' to your palace.
It takes for one of them, named Teselrin of Tilonya, to appear at your palace.
His silvery hair is long and straight, and he wears a dark blue robe adorned with flowery and celestial patterns embroidered with silver thread.
"Greetings, King Eyrdri of Glennuaine. I have heard that you're interested in my alchemy."
A) "Indeed, I want to hire an Elven alchemist."
B) "Indeed, I want to learn the truth behind Elven alchemy."
C) "Indeed. Can you turn mundane metals into gold? My Treasury's aching for coin."
