The fleet of Isometric frigates have received a software update that has been carried out by engineering crews in service after being transmitted via the DDS communications network. Isometric System Enhancement 2 (ISE2) is a purely software update using much code from the Terran Sea frigate, modified where necessary and fully audited and tested. The new software increases tactical system response time by 7% and the system can handle a greater number of simultaneous targets. Engine management has also been improved, though top speed has not changed due to load-stress issues, the engines are now up to 5% more efficient. Other systems have also seen capability and efficiency improvements.
ISE2 was meant to be part of a hardware & software update but due to the war the Isometric fleet cannot at present be taken out of service. The new hardware including a new databus backbone multiplexor and a new sensor array (both versions of the one used by the Terran Sea) will be fitted in a future update though ships out of service anyway for repair may receive the new toys anyway.
The Pentekonter fleet is also due a software update.
