Pulsar to receive update in early 2108

Although the 2107 update is still being performed on the last couple of members of the fleet of Pulsar cruisers the DDS has announced another update to be carried out in early 2108. Pulsar Update 2108 A (P2108UA) will be carried out before "Easter 2108" and will include fitting new missile launchers for TPM-2 as well as the necessary updates to the combat systems.

The attack system will also be updated to SAS2C standard. The 3 wing mounted laser cannons (the secondary laser armament after the Z cannon) will receive a long needed update to increase rate of fire and improve the penetrative performance. It is also rumoured (though not confirmed at this stage) that the Pulsars will be fitted with the Dino energy drain weapon, a number of which are set to be purchased from the Dinos in a 21 million zark deal. Finally the Pulsars will receive communications updates to allow them to control and co-ordinate with the Ferret-E UCV.
