The people who do have upgrade fever, such as the UNS navy, are the ones who initially developed the Wyvern class six hundred years ago, or more Cindy might not have been a first production. Then they designed a better class and sold Cindy, and the Wyvern blueprints most likely, off to civilian contractors. She most likely then passed through multiple hands until settling with Sanctum Adroit who were practical enough to want a tried and true class, and involved in mostly police work so they didn't need the absolute best gunship around. Just one better than what any criminals would have. She was the ultimate big stick in Haven Hive for instance.
Or as i'm beginning to suspect, SA wanted a light battle ship and had Cindy built. If she was initially growprammed for Police work she'd never have the chops for strong military tactics, she'd need to be regrown, or re-educated... which is not something I want to see happen,
again.
Para seems to have left Tailor's original personality intact*, but we have no evidence that she really did so or what she may have buried in their, deep, waiting for her command...
* I also suspect that the only reason she enslaved the TAR-bots and Cindy via the emotional route is that it is fast, proven, and strong and she was working under a time constraint. I suspect she'd be a lot subtler if she had the time.
