Quasars to receive update, worm drives

The Quasar 15A bomber fleet will begin its yearly upgrade in September, a key part of the upgrade being the fitting of worm drives now calibration of the Quasar has been completed. AP says it is a priority that the strike fleet receives worm drives as soon as possible so the Quasar 2112 Update A will include this. This does mean however that there might not be enough worm drives available for the Terran Sea ILU which is due to start in 2112. The DDS say that it should only affect the first few Terran Seas and the MCS will be "fitted for" the drive in anycase which can then be added later in the year.

Other improvements will include a strengthened electrical network (which is required for worm drive and other forthcoming technologies like Z7 - which will come next year). More parts of the ship will have FIDO VR projectors for remote crewing. The ship's communication multiplex will also be improved. There will also be other more minor updates.
