DDS complete updates to ships

Two updates to the DDS' fleet have been completed plus the first Isometric ILU (albeit still waiting for some items) has been rolled out. The Velocity destroyer fleet has completed it's Velocity 2108 Update B programme which includes a new tactical system, improved docking bay and data link compatibility with the Ferret UCV. The Starsystem training/auxiliary frigate has also completed it's EAU (Enhanced Abilities Update) which improves the main laser cannons, adds TPM-2 support to the missile launcher (though it is not expected to carry the missiles routinely) and improved the damage control and environmental systems.

The flagship SS Carboniferous has completed it's major refit after it's exhaustive mission into Bolitic space and has been outfitted to a pre-ILU standard. Some items from the Isometric ILU are not ready yet so Carboniferous is not at full ILU yet. Carboniferous has been fitted with integrated attack system SAS-ISO, TPM-2 and OA 2.0. It has also been fitted for the Z5ti multi-mode cannon (which will be fitted next year) and 360 CIWS 2.0 (also next year). Carboniferous has also received docking bay improvements and MRM support. As it's master (Windy) is away at the moment it is expected Carboniferous will be used for testing and MRM development for the next couple of months.
