The DDS is thought to be sitting on a number of hardware and software updates for it's fleet because it does not want to change the configuration of ships on the eve of what could be the deciding battle of the Utrek war. A spokesman for DDS Research said these updates would be propagated after the battle.
Updates include the TPM-1C-3, the latest revision of the transphasic missile with improved terminal guidance suit and engine management for slightly longer range. Velocity class destroyers will also receive a new version of their primary sensor suite with enhanced passive modes. Other updates include software for the Isometric/Terran Sea, Quasar, Pulsar and Velocity classes.
