Our Naval forces and civilian infrastructure in Harmony have expanded to the point that I had to promote the officer commanding this sector to Rear Admiral.

Nice. What effects do that give?
Also, if you hadn't promoted it, what'd then have happened?
It just gave us a chance to swap in somebody with a more appropriate bonus. If I wanted to.
In this case, all I did was promote the existing officer instead of swapping in an existing Rear Admiral.
If I hadn't fixed the mis-match? The Harmony star system would have been treated as "no officer in charge" until I fixed it. No bonus of any sort.

Ah.
What are the thresholds for when a specific officer is needed?
Like was it hitting a million tons that required a rear Admiral?
Whens an Admiral needed?

I think he needs to be one-step higher ranked than any of the ship captains or fleet commanders currently deployed to that sector.
There are probably other qualifications, too.
But as soon as a Commodore ship captain arrived in the Harmony star system, the Admin branch wanted a Rear Admiral.
Our new Salvager III is just CHEWING into those wrecks.
There's a second one building (now that the slipway is available again) and a second shipyard is re-tooling.

That's one hell of a ship. I think I'll change my mind and ask for one of these for my next command.

Interesting that the suggestions just keep going. Is it just because we have a diplomat there? Because those ships with their civilian drive should not count for much -- practically 0 tonnage.
That doesn't have any effect on the issuing of the suggestions themselves. That's purely dictated by us having ships inside a system they consider important enough to suggest we leave.
What we could do is slowly withdraw the diplomat, see if their diplo ship follows it if it retreats to AX microscopii.
All that would do is that *we* would start suggesting they leave that system if they do follow, though, as we've set a protection status on it.

It has no offensive weapons, though (just AMM-PD and Gauss-PD), so it's not likely to kill any enemy ships. Just missiles.
True. Crew training matters the most where reaction time matters the most I guess. And that's mostly for offensive weaponry, isn't it? Things like those Winged Hussars.
I don't know, just put me whereever that 45% training bonus helps the Emucracy the most.

At the moment we have a 40,000-ton Carrier design and a 40,000-ton Jump Tender design. We can certainly design a 40,000-ton Gunship.
Maybe something covered in Emotion-calibre turrets, but with thicker armor and the galaxy's biggest spinal laser running down the center of it.

A Spinal Laser that fires once every 40 seconds and does 72 points at point blank.
Three Quad-barrelled 30cm (Emotion-calibre) turrets, firing once every 15 seconds for 24 points per hit at point blank.
One 20cm DP Quad-barreled Turret firing every 5 seconds and doing 10 points per hit at point blank.
One Quad-barreled Gauss PD turret that fires (in total) 20 shots per five-second impulse, at incoming missiles.
Fire Controls for all of the above.
Has all the usual bells and whistles - ECM-6, ECCM-5, launchers for three 40,000-ton decoys, a 480-point shield and four layers of armor.
Lots of command facilities. Bridge, Auxilliary Control, Main Engineering, Combat Information Center and Flag Bridge.

It's a toss-up.
Two modernized Emotions would have in total four Quad 30cm turrets (two each) and two Quad 20cm DP turrets (one each). Emotions currently have 15cm DP.
The upgrade to a modern shield would require us to find 400 tons displacement (old shield = 1,600 tons, new shield = 2,000 tons) which will more-or-less rule out adding any Decoy Launchers (100 tons each). So, assuming that we can find displacement for the shield upgrade, it will have no Decoys (the current Emotion has none). No Flag Bridge. No Advanced Damage Control (the Monster has Advanced Damage Control).
On the plus side, it would give us two ships instead of one, and Emotions (being smaller hulls) will build faster than Monsters. Two Emotions would have slightly more firepower than one Monster, and would be a dispersed target (two hulls instead of one). But the Monster is more survivable than any single Emotion (thicker Armor, three 40,000-ton Decoys, Advanced Damage Control).
A toss-up.
