The Rome 46A fleet is to receive a major update over the next few months. Rome 2115 Update A will be a Tier 2 upgrade so will include major system enhancements (ILUs and MULEs are Tier 1s and are virtual rebuilds). The major change will be the long expected replacement of the failed Ion Recycle Scoop on the top of the ship (which is supposed to have increased range by drawing in astral gases but has not proven to work anywhere near as well as hoped) with a Z7 turret.
Other changes include modifications to the docking bay to improve small ship handling, fitting for worm drive (the actual drives will follow at a later stage but all the power and navigational systems will be fitted), an 8 cell TPM-VLS (increasing total missile load to 24) and various updates and upgrades to tactical, navigational and power systems.
The flagship SS Cicero and the reserve flag SS Caesar will also receive communications and security upgrades.
