Dinos issue targets for their fleet

For the first time the Dino Army has publicised target strengths for its fleet and also defined the categories of warship it has. These targets have been kept secret up until now, the reason for the change in approach is unknown though the new Consul Jimmy is said to be keen on greater transparency in the military.

The Dinos have used "size" as the differentiator though there is not that much difference between a "Medium" Dinomark PT and a "Light" XT!
  • Super Heavy Ship (3) - these are the 3 existing Dinomark RS
  • Heavy Ship (60) - these will be the new Dinomark AM/AR and later on the KK
  • Medium Ship (68) - this will be the soon to be completed Dinomark PT
  • Light Ship (200) - over 150 of these will be XTs with the rest the new LM
  • Transports (45) - also listed are transports which cover a number of sizes
The Dinos said they hope to reach these targets around 2120 though it may be difficult to build so many Heavy Ships in just 5 years. One other snippet taken from the announcement was the news that a new "Medium Ship" Dinomark replacing the PT will be developed in the 2120s. This is likely to be either derived from the AM/KK platform or the LM.
