Assorted DDS Fleet news

Two more ships will join the DDS fleet this week. Provider class transport 7911 Condor and Extender class oiler 7205 Skymaster will be officially named at the end of the week and should enter service the week after.

The Quasar ILU team has begun preparing the old Quasar/Isometric rig for the big update. The first ship will begin the update next january. Just before the feature freeze the team announced that a full Elint/ECM suite will be included with the update.

The Raegris have said they want to buy 8 frigates based on the Terran Sea Block 3. In a 6 billion zark deal the Raegris are keen to have these ships as soon as possible so it may be the DDS will delay production of DDS Terran Seas to build these for the Raegris. The Raegris are also interested in buying more surplus Quasars and also some long-range scouts. The DDS have offered new build ships based on the Rhombus design.
