DDS40 is a new group set up to discuss the future direction of the DDS especially future space fleet development. The 40 part of the name derives from the fact that the current front-line fleet is due to be replaced by the 2140s at the latest though replacement classes will of course be developed long before then.
The first debate by DDS40 which counts Firefly and Sea Urchin as members and has the blessing of Windscorpion will be held next week and is titled "After Panther...?" It will look at what the DDS should be looking at for it's next principal space combatant to replace the Panther destroyer in the 2130s.
