The Bolitic have begun building improved versions of its mainstay Snarl and Meltinan types which are understood to incorporate lessons from the war with the DDS and Dinos. Both the BS4040F Snarl-F and BS2062L Meltinan-L have improved damage containment systems and wireless replacements for some key databuses, this is the first time the Bolitic have been known to use wireless control technology which is now the foundation of Dino and DDS ship architecture.
Another interesting thing to note is the info-weapon capability has been reduced somewhat. The Bolitic appear to be moving away from cyber warfare, maybe as a result of great advances in these areas by their enemies lately which means their info-weapons are not as effective. Though some analysts say the Bolitic have begun to concentrate these resources more centrally. Melson is thought to have ordered upgrades to the Bolitic communications network, perhaps to facilitate these attacks instead of ships having to launch them themselves (and putting the highly valued "info-warriors" at risk).
The Snarl-F has a better integrated Utrek Hyperspace Booster and can reach 750c. It is also slightly bigger to encourage a new proton cannon said to be as powerful as the Z5. The Meltinan-L can reach 600c and can fit a range of weapons via a new gondola (as with G4 DDS designs). The first new Snarls and Meltinans could enter service as early as next month.
