NS is looking into increasing the number of heavy combatants in it's fleet, one option being looked at is to revert the Quasar bomber back into it's original role as a cruiser. The Quasar New Cruiser Upgrade (QNCU) is being seriously considered by NS and has received several million zarks in development funding.
QNCU would see some notable changes to the Quasar. The nose mounted Z-cannon would be removed and replaced by a docking bay, the current docking bay being replaced by extra weapon storage and two TPM-VLS arrays. The wing mounted laser cannons would be replaced by multi-aspect Z8 cannons offering 360 degree coverage. The ships would also receive an engine upgrade for enhanced agility and top speed.
NS Research are working on design simulations with NS Engineering and will present their studies to the NS Politburo at a later stage.
