Solaris to receive big update

The DDS have announced Solaris 2114 Update A, this year's main upgrade of the 18 strong Solaris 37C fleet and its a big one. The Fleet Combat Ships will receive a large firepower boost putting them near the Type 35 in capability.

• Two TPM launchers will be fitted to either side of the hull, these are similar to the launchers used on the Type 35 and are quad-bay launchers. TPM load will be increased to 124.
• The Z7 Zip Cannon will be fitted as well replacing the current Z6.
• Worm drive recalibration will have to take place (as the hull form will change sufficiently to change the geometry), it is calculated worm drive speed will increase to 4900ec thanks to a more refined calibration.
• Communications will also be improved and there will be a number of other smaller updates.

Upgrades will begin in a couple of months.
