The DDS have confirmed that the various Type 35 versions will eventually be merged into one class as happened with the Velocity/Solaris Type 37. The process will be a long-term one though with the final unification taking place in the mid 2120s.
The Panther 35A is set for its ILU around 2118-9 and it is planned to turn the Panthers into the forthcoming Kinetic 35C as part of the upgrade. Finally the Indy 35B will be merged into the Kinetics as that has its ILU in the next decade. The singleton Infinity 35X trials ship is likely to remain separate for the foreseeable future though this may also be merged into the other Type 35s eventually.
