The DDS have announced they have completed calibration of the worm drive on the Missileer 21B missile / UCV carrier. This is by far the largest ship the worm drive has been calibrated on to date and was done jointly with the Dinos who also operate SUP type ships.
All 10 Missileers will be fitted with W1A worm drives when they receive an upgrade later this year. The upgrade is known as Missileer 2114 Update A and will include a number of improvements to communications and data systems. The power grid will also be upgraded, partly for the worm drive but also for improved armament. The Z5ti will be replaced with a Z7 cannon and 2 TPM-VLS batteries will be added, these will supplement the existing missile launchers but as they have a faster reaction time the VLS will mainly be intended for self-defence. No date has been yet given for the upgrades to take place but a DDS source said it would begin "before the Autumn".
