Plans for Isometric ILU announced

The DDS have announced they are now planning and preparing for a huge update for it's fleet of Isometric frigates starting in 2109. The Isometric ILU is the first of 3 planned mid-life refurbishments and updates for the frigate and will take the fleet well into the next decade. The programme will include :

• Full refurbishment and replacement of fatigued load bearers
• Re-engined with Meson TL-03C, a more efficient version of the existing TL-03B2
• Full OA 2.0 and FIDO compatibility
• Z5 cannon and improved missile launcher
• 360 degree CIWS
• Improved interiors to reduce blast fragmentation and improve damage control facilities
• New main computer and improved main databus

The changes will result in a more powerful and efficient ship that also will have reduced maintenance requirements. The details of the ILU programme may change by next winter said a DDS spokesman but they expected this list to be largely unchanged.
