Are the DDS going to have new cruisers to replace the soon to depart Pulsar 12As? After the cancellation of the Chrysalis project it seemed that there would none but a new project has been given some initial funding and may yet produce some kind of new cruiser. The new Type 1X Project will look into a "cost-effective yet capable" capital ship for the strike and patrol roles. Some have said this ship could be an analogue to the HCS Kelsan KS, a cheap yet capable ship as its focussed on one key role.
However DDS watchers say there have been a number of failed DDS new cruiser projects including the LCX which was also intended as a "cheap cruiser".
