The 15th Dinomark with wormhole drive (or w-drive) has entered service with the SS and the Dinos have spoken about their short to medium term plans for their new propulsion system. By the end of the year they plan to have 20 Dinomarks with w-drive and then equip a further 15 in 2109. At the moment all ships have been ships already in service and have been retrofitted with the w-drive and all Dinomark PTs up until now.
The Dinomark RS fleet will be equipped when the ships receive a refit before the end of the year as part of the updates and improvements being fitted. The flagship Dinomark will be equipped before the end of the year (though will revert to being Ronald's personal ship after he stands down as Consul at the end of the year).
New ships will not be built with w-drive until the Revision 2 w-drive arrives early in 2110, this will have the same performance but will be cheaper to produce and have reduced power consumption. All new PTs will have the drive from then on with new XTs following suit by 2112. The NG fleet will begin to be equipped with w-drive when they receive their next major upgrade early in the next decade. The Dinos say they want their entire fleet to be w-drive equipped by 2120 though this will probably not include the scores of reservist XTs.
