From local forum call indonesia defence review FB, shown the second OPV 90/98 KRI Lukas Rumkorem being flood out to begin sea trial. After launch last year, both OPV seems only waiting their Atmaca Missiles as their Aselsan Cenk 200N and others sensors already installed.

Add:
There's conflicting info on the radar, either Aselsan Cenk 200N or Hensoldt TRS4D. Will follow up later on this.

TRS-4D rotating antenna

With the challenges and objectives in mind to deploy high-performance radar systems on maritime platforms for swift detection of diverse threats and ensure crew and platform protection through enhanced situational awareness, HENSOLDT presents TRS-4D, the company´s latest addition to the C-band...

Another video on KRI Lukas Rumkorem from local forum FB #Industri Made In Indonesia, conduct sea trial. Seems the builder crew on the trial taken a drone to do the video. Last part of the video shown it approach the heli pad with people supposedly the operator waiting.

I suspect the builder plan to delivered both OPV 98 together to TNI-AL soon.

Photo edit from Keris FB account, shown FMP#1 already got penant number 322. Thus it will get sequel number from both PPA of 320 and 321. Potentially will use names from ancient kings, just like both PPA namesake.

Video from builder Daya Radar Utama (Noahtu Group Shipyard) on both OPV 90/98 conducting sea trial together. The third sister ship already reach keel laying last month (already put it in this thread). The design depends on the rumours being told to already got approval budget allocation for at least another 5 to 7 OPV. The video put in X by local enthusiats forum member.

So Far MinDef seems open strategy to let selective yards to build couple corvettes or OPV each, and then decide which design they will further financing for more production. Seems this design already got backing for further production batches.
