The Starbotians have announced a major upgrade of its flagship I-1A Iona plus a notable upgrade of I-11 Ixis too. Both ships will receive W1A wormdrives which have been bought off the Dinos (4 drives in total have been bought, 2 are being kept spare). Iona will also receive an engine upgrade to boost its hyperspace speed to 700c. Iona will also receive weapons upgrades including a greater TPM war load and TPM-VLS support.
Ixis' upgrade is more modest but will include laser cannon and tactical upgrades too. Both ships have now begun their upgrades, the Panther 35A I-21 Tiger has been assigned flagship until Iona returns early next year.
