Exlor
I think one or two of the first ships they commission need to be additional Ship builders! Specifically a factory ship optimized to produce lots of small cutters and scout ships at a time. They already have the Dilligant Ovenbird and the unamed Shipyard Ship optimized for medium ships. Getting one (or two) optimized for the smallest sizes is a good next step!
One of the ships could be the memorial ship that could also be a ship that has the state recpiton that sheridan asked for and a mormial chamber for putting the dead to rest if he could design as system that collected the sorrow of people that came to visit to make a negative design spirit that dose things like make the enemy feel sorrowful and match that with the doom crawl as well
