The first export frigate based on the Isometric platform has commenced construction on the new jig operated by the Raegris. This jig is also being used to produce the DF-1 He'Taka frigates for the Raegris Defence Fleet. The first Isometric-E is being produced for Molab of course (they are the only customer for the type in any case).
Molab have selected a mid-range specification for their 2 Isometrics, known as Isometric-EMM. The ships will be TPM compatible though will not operate the missiles, yet anyway. Their sensor fit is roughly equal to the Isometric fit though an earlier revision. The Molabites have specified greater crew space and supplies storage in lieu of weaponry and science equipment as Molab intends the ships to perform long range patrols and missions. A comprehensive communications suite has also been fitted as the ships will also be acting as command ships for Molab's planned fleet of at least 5 Pentekonter-Es.
Although Molab is the only customer at present Sirikwan is also considering the type. Helinox, another Pentekonter customer is also looking into Isometric.
