VP Technology Knobhead has set up a working party to look at NS' export portfolio. Sales have slackened over the last year or so though the order books still have healthy backlogs. There is a feeling that NS has saturated the market and so needs to look at new products.
Upgrades could also be a growing market for NS. Years ago ten billion zarks a year income was set as a target, currently it is just over half of that but upgrades are a tiny fraction. With a growing installed base of NS built ships now in operation across the galaxy there is opportunity to grow this income stream greatly.
