Following the loss of a Dinomark PT in a worm drive failure caused accident the DDS have been checking its fast growing fleet of worm drive equipped ships. The Dino accident was caused by a power loss in a rectifier, the DDS have concentrated on this part of the W1A system as part of a technical check of all drives in service.
DDS Engineering report they found no problem with in-service W1A worm drives though one drive not currently in use was found to have a different defect (its rectifier was ok!) The Dinos now believe the rectifier failure and ship loss were pretty much the result of astounding bad luck though improved monitoring systems may be deployed in the next revision in any event.
