First command! But I get a male ship, you don't call ships male, what heresay is this!
Proposing renaming of Eminem to Mariah Carey! (to stay in the same genre).

I may be inconsiderate but that doesn't mean I don't want some backing on this.
I was contemplating renaming to K3, but I doubt many could even google that correctly. Way better then then Eminem atleast...
The ship was going to attract enemy fire, anyway... perhaps with this name it will be sooner than expected
Send the Geo team to the worst of the asteroids first?
Do we have a list (or did I miss it already)?

You can include total estimated time by changing the Time and Distance section from "Current" to "All Orders". Picking up a team/person takes 0 time.
As for the survey team, no team yet. My goal, if council agrees with me, is to have Surt (after his research is done), Hannibal, Jacob-lundgren, Catherine Faulkner, Charlie Pierce to form the survey team. This will not happen til the first 3 are completed with their current assignment. Hannibal and Jacob-lundgren have a good chance of increasing their ability after exploring the bodies inside of Pluto's orbit.
Currently, the proposed team, will have a rating of 109. A bit more improvement via surveying asteroids may push that higher as well as comets nearby. Then we can set them on moons and progress up to small planets, hoping their skills get stronger and better.
There's a list of mineral deposits on the previous page.
Or maybe two pages back
I know. I just forgot to do that before I made the screenies
Noted.
I have a busy day ahead of me, so feel free to continue discussing this subject though
Seen on the mineral list of Scum-sucking Asteroids
Astreroids 52, 88, 33, 133, 100, 79, 175, 52, 90, 31
Seems especially worthless and should be used for training Geologists.

Interesting. That's the exact same list I have on my desk for Target Practice for the Navy when we get one....
That would also speed up the Geologist when they have to think that they have to be finished soon.
Let's see... If we drop them off and wait with shooting until the ship have left, they'll have almost a full minute to complete the survey and cancel the attack.
Should be plenty enough time.

After giving some additional thoughts to the matter of the Geology Team, I stand by my original decision. I oppose any Geology Team at this point.
A geo team will take an insanely long time to survey an asteroid or comet... far longer than it takes to survey a moon or planet. Possibly some sort of bug. We should use large moons (Ganymede, Callisto, Io, Europa, Titan, Titania, Mimas, Enceladus, Oberon etc) for geo-team practice, instead of using asteroids.
It's OK if the target moons have no minerals at all (according to our ship surveys)... we can still send geo teams there to practice, and they are guaranteed to find at least one deposit.

Now that you mention about asteroids... Steve did say there was a problem with algorithm for small bodies such as asteroids here. He is changing the formula for
Thanks for reminding us.
I don't think its an good idea to use our scientists for Geo surveys unless the duration is extremely short. Instead we should train an independent team for that. Therefore I vote NO to Sirce's geo ide.
We might need to consider the moon idea instead of asteroids (who takes unreasonable long time currently).

My idea isn't a proposal but rather something to discuss. Your speciality is defensive systems, so putting you on a geo team for a bit (since your Geo is really good) and helping out on planets like Venus (improve accessibility I hope) is needed with a good team. However, if you don't want to do that, thats ok. Hopefully the academy will spit one or two good officers for that.
