The DDS has announced that most of it's fleet of Pentekonters will receive a Littoral Tactical Update (LTU) over the next few months, the last 5 ships to be constructed will have the update built in. The update will improve the OPV's effectiveness against small-scale low-threat targets such as smugglers and pirates in low orbits and inside asteroid fields. The ships will receive auxiliary laser cannons, improved sensors optimised for operation in low orbit, better tractor beams and better internal security for handling prisoners.
Not all ships will receive the update, Windscorpion said a certain ship captained by a certain DDS member would not receive the update due to budget constraints.
