Firefly says DDS open to name suggestions

Following the news that Firefly was considering changing the DDS' name, possibly to New Sparta came calls for there to be a consultation on a name change and to explore other options. Firefly has agreed that there should be more thought given to the new name, it is known that he hates the DDS name though isn't totally sold on New Sparta either.

Sea Urchin has suggested keeping the DDS name but changing what the acronym means. He said "It would save on paint and printing anyway."

• The 4 Coril 86A shuttles (which are used by ISSF) are to receive an upgrade and refit which is designed to keep them viable up to their planned withdrawal in the early 2120s. The shuttles will receive the same WSN-865J engine as the new build Coril 86B as well as upgrades to the navigational and communication systems. The shuttles will also receive a refurbishment. The upgrades will be spaced out throughout the Summer and Autumn so 3 of the fleet are always available. Although they will have the same engine as the Type 86B as their hull and structure is a lot older they will be restricted to 200c (though this will still be a speed increase).
