The Dinos have announced two new versions of their backbone Dinomark XT type. The XT/118 is the latest type and will replace the XT/115 in production by the end of the year. The XT/118 has the latest evolution of the Solarburst engine, the GX-982 and top speed performance has been increased to 650c. The ship has also received numerous system updates bringing in a greater degree of conformality with the PT series. Damage control has also been improved and the interiors will be coated with a new substance to reduce fragmentation.
The other new type is the XT/118w, the first underwater capable Dinomark XT for some time. It was developed because the last water version of the XT was the XT/86w some 14 years ago. The Dinos are conscious that their underwater capable ships are ageing and with expeditionary warfare possibly on the Dino future agenda they need to improve in this area. The XT/118w has much the same performance as the XT/118 though the extra equipment needed means that is has less capabilities and internal space.
