Starbot fleet changes

Starbot has ordered a 4th Dinomark XT to join the 3 older ones already in service. These older XTs will also receive a refit and update to improve their capabilities. When the new ship is in service the ageing I-2 Iota will be retired. The ship has been in service for decades and although updated many times now would require extensive rebuilding to keep it operatable beyond it's end of fatigue life due in 2113. The Starbotians have decided it will be more cost effective to buy an XT instead for the scouting role.

Starbot has also ordered a second Provider 71A transport. The first has recently begun it's secondary role as a survey and reconnaissance ship using a mission module designed by Starbot which fits in the Provider's hold. The DDS are also interested in this module.
