Dinos complete RS class

The 4th Dinomark RS has entered service following a lengthly build (each RS has taken over a year to build) but no more will be built. The RS is the largest and most powerful ship in the Dino fleet but the Dinos appear to not really know how to best use the RS. They are tending to be used for static defence around Dino-Land and Pulsin though are excellent warships (indeed in the short Dinos-DDS war in 2099 the first RS blew the crap out of the DDS fleet and the ships have been regularly updated since).

Ronald has said that the RS should be used more on operations away from home space, now that 4 are in service there should be enough to both guard the home lands and have a ship available for fleet use. There is a concern that RS crews lack the "killer edge" that their counterparts on PTs and XTs that have seen "action" have.

Now attention is being turned to upgrading the fleet, the final 2 are to an improved RS/2 standard so the Dinos want to bring the 1st 2 up to that standard. They also want to fit w-drive to the ships. The W1A w-drive as fitted to some PTs is not suitable for the RS however but the Dinos are working on an improved version W1R.
