Knobhead wants a more phased shut down of DDS CIty

Following a debate in the DDS Politburo on The Shiner's plan to sell off DDS City the DDS Commander Knobhead has said he agrees with the plan in principle though wants the timeline of the plan extended, perhaps to 10 or 12 years.

Although he sees the benefits of selling off DDS City and moving facilities elsewhere (raising an estimated 100 billion zarks) he is wary of large scale disruption due to the uncertain astralpolitical situation. He has asked The Shiner for a modified plan which will be debated next month.

Quasar to get worm drive next year in major upgrade

The Quasar 15A bomber fleet is seen by the DDS as its "flagship" fleet due to their prestige and C3 functions though arn't the most powerful ships in the fleet anymore. One major weakness of the ships now is the lack of worm drive but that will be finally addressed in the Quasar Major System Upgrade 2116 (Quasar MSU16) programme set for next year. The upgrade will include:
  • W1A wormdrive
  • Z7 cannon
  • Mine laying system similar to Raegris Quasars
  • Attack missile load increased to 48 thanks to internal changes
  • TPM load boosted by VLS cells (probably increased to 96)
  • New SAS-NG attack suite
  • New computer system
  • Various other enhancements
