Being the bread and butter of ShelLancer's offensive capabilities, Dido tries to create an upgraded version with streamlined maneuvering vanes and thruster modules with improved vectoring capabilities.
These new Arc Thorns have the ability to temporarily hover in place in a gravity-present environment, balancing on their rocket exhaust; this allows them to be deployed in more intricate formations.
They still aren't bits; their flight paths/formations must be assigned before launch or manually reprogrammed on the fly.
