DDS Research have begun consultations with captains, maintenance chiefs and other experts about the Isometric ILU (Intermediate Life Update) programme which is due to begin sometime in 2109. Although the DDS have some plans for the update including full-FIDO capabilities and OA 2.0 they also want to listen to the people who captain and maintain Isometrics to see what kind of things they would like improved. Already some changes to ease maintenance have been highlighted.
The Isometric ILU will exceed a Terran Sea C in terms of performance and combat potential (though of course Terran Sea will also be updated later on) and will form a very useful part of the escort and patrol fleets.
