DDS to reboot Isometric-E

Despite the first Isometric-E being delivered to Molab to date sales have been dissappointing, indeed only Molab have ordered 2 (though they may order a 3rd). The problem the DDS Ship Exports Sales Team has found is that the options the DDS are offering do not match customer needs.

Currently the DDS is offering the following :
  • Isometric-EH - high-end spec, Terran Sea engine, TPM capable, various system options
  • Isometric-EM - mid-end spec, Isometric engine, TPM option
  • Isometric-EL - low-end spec, Isometric engine, basic equipment
The problem is the EH is too expensive for most people and the EM beyond most pockets. The EL is maybe too low a spec and customers have gone for the Pentekonter-E instead. The DDS are going to relaunch the Isometric-E next month with the following :
  • Isometric-E200 - high-end, TPM, Z5 cannon, passive sensors, combat suite, UCV support
  • Isometric-E100 - mid-end, TPM, Z5m cannon, average sensor fit
  • Isometric-E50 - low-end, average sensor fit
The key new model is the E50 which although still the low-end has a better sensor fit equivalent to a DDS spec Pentekonter. The equipment has also been made more flexible to suit possible customer requirements.
