DDS publishes provisional ship building plan for next year

The DDS has published its provisional ship building plan for 2113/4, starting from next April. Like in the current plan the DDS plan to build 19 ships next year though they will cover a larger number of different types including the first Warrior 16A and Corkscrew 51As and the singleton Infinity 35X.

The next plan will also see the final Indy 35B and Freedom 41Bs built, the latter finally bringing to an end Isometric production for the DDS after 12 years (though the type will remain in production for export for a few more years). Five ships in the plan will be built outside of the DDS (3 Falcons by the Dinos and 2 Intruders by the Clones). Firefly has agreed the provisional plan though it will possibly be revised after consultation with the DDS Politburo before being finalised next month.
