The Dinos have published an early "taster" of their plans and estimated fleet strengths for 2130. The Dinos (along with the DTA) are changing how they approach space warfare and have begun designing a new generation of more specialised warships the first of which will be the Dinomark AM ground-attack bomber. Under current plans it is thought the Dinos want to have 2 available "combat fleets" of around 40-50 ships each along with planetary and regional space defence squadrons.
The Dinos have identified 3 main classes of warship, the larger battlecruiser which is currently the Dinomark RS in Dino service, the medium cruiser (Dinomark PT but also the AM and its space combat cousin the Dinomark FM*) and the light patrol ship (Dinomark XT and its Dinomark LW* successor).
The Dinos' 2 combat fleets (one would be available the other in refit or reserve at any one time) would consist of squadrons of medium cruisers headed by a battlecruiser. Local defence and regional patrol would be carried out by the XT/LWs.
Currently the Dinos have 3 battlecruisers, 76 medium cruisers and 219 light patrol ships. These numbers include SS, SS-D and other specialist ships so not all would be available for space combat. However by 2130 the Dinos want 10 battlecruisers, 150 medium cruisers and 500 light patrol ships. This of course means the Dinos will design and build 7 new battlecruisers at some stage though there have yet to be any firm plans given about that.
How the DTA allies will fit into this scheme has yet to be detailed though it is thought Sirikwan would be included in the combat fleets. The Dinos will publish fuller plans later in the year.
* Names yet to be fully confirmed.
