DDS refresh export portfolio

The DDS have refreshed their portfolio of ships for export for the first time in nearly 2 years (though to be fair the war did get in the way). The most notable additions to the portfolio are export versions of the Olympus (which is already nearing a possible sale to the DTA) and the Corkscrew Future Medium Combat Ship though this will not be available from 2115 at least.

High-end versions of the Velocity-E and the Isometric-E (which now has a new E215 version) come with QPM and Z6 options. TPM is no longer available as an option even on request (though in practice no one had been sold it anyway).

• The DDS have announced... an announcement. The specification for the Corkscrew 51A Medium Combat Ship will be finalised by DDS Engineering over the next few weeks and then publically unveiled on July 1st. One snippet which is being speculated about is a vertical launch system for TPM-2 known as TPM-VLS which is in development. It is said to be in development for the Type 1X Cruiser though sources indicate it will be used on Corkscrew too.
