Dinos will resume XT exports

After placing a hold on military exports (mostly of the Dinomark XT) in order to concentrate on rebuilding the Dino Army fleet and then proving a kick start to the DTA allies Consul El Diablo has now ordered the freeze on non-DTA exports be lifted.

This is good news for the Clones and iP Services who have underwater capable XTs on order. The HCS ships are ex-Dino Army which will be refurbished and will be supplied as new build XTs replace them in Dino service. The ship for iP Services will be new build and will be delivered soon, although owned by iP Services it will operate under a DDS flag and be available for DDS duties when not needed by Windy.
  • Hot on the heels of the Dino announcement the DDS have placed an order for 5 more Dinomark XTs. Two will be underwater capable like the iP Services ship, the other 3 will be leased to the Free Eritran States (likely operated by Molab) though will remain DDS owned. Full details at a later date.
