Meetings are still ongoing between the
Dinos and
DDS about a technology transfer (mostly about exchanging Dino worm drive technology for DDS transphasic weapons technology) deal though it is likely the deal will go ahead. The fine details of the transfer are being hammered out though
DDS Research are understood to be already preparing the
Panther 35A for worm drive. One major sticking point is said to be that the Dinos want
TPM-2 not
TPM-1 though this may be just so they can get a better deal on some other technology.
According to reports the deal involves the following transfers:
DDS
- TPM-1 schematics and design, help in establishing a TPM-1 production facility and 350 TPM-1 missiles this year, 200 next year (if the facility is not yet operational)
- Passive sensor technology
- Details of Vosun-Voth anti-matter weapons
- One extra SX-98 landing ship at DDS cost
Dinos
- W1A worm drive schematics and design, help in establishing a production facility and 5 working W1A drives plus help in integrating them into DDS ships (the DDS may now want W1B following the recent announcement though)
- Dino energy drain weapon technology
- Update for Falcon 47A based on recent Dinomark XT upgrades
- Extra help with combating Bolitic info-weapons
The leaders involved (
Cruggson,
Jimmy,
Ronald on the Dino side,
The Orchid and
Windscorpion on the DDS side) have all agreed with the above though there are still disagreements on some of the fine details. It is hoped a first draft of the final agreement could be ready by early June for submission to the various leaders involved.
