DDS update export portfolio

The DDS have updated their portfolio of space ships for export, dropping the Velocity-E which only found one customer and the low-end Isometric-E which also was not very popular. The Isometric and Pentekonter lines have both seen feature bumps with the top-end of each now coming with TPM launchers (though sales of these are restricted of course) and QPM for mid-range.

No new models have been added to the portfolio yet though Corkscrew-E specifications may arrive later in the year. The proposed "Mini Missileer" based on the Olympus-E platform has also not yet surfaced though the DDS have confirmed that work is ongoing on this new type which will likely come under the Olympus banner.
  • The DTA are considering having a shared mine counter measures fleet which would be available for all DTA members usage though operated and maintained by the Sirikwanese. The Dinos have requested details of the Pentekonter-ME mine sweeper from the DDS and also have asked for the feasibility of fitting the Pave Yellow MCM control system in another ship such as the Dinomark PT as opposed to an Isometric as is used by the DDS and Molab. Sirikwan had planned to use the Shark-E and HCS SPECNES system but now it seems they will use the Sharks as patrol ships only.
