In designing the CC, I decided 48 warp was a good standard. It was divisible by 2, 3 and 4, the usual number of engines a ship can sport, so it was transportable beyond the ISC. Warp for the DD and FF posed a problem. If I gave the DD a proportional upgrade as measured from General War tech, it would get 24, exactly what it has at X1. X2 cruisers got an increase from 40 to 48, which is +20% so I gave the DD a +20% increase, which would have left it at 28.6, so I figured I might as well go for 30. The FF got +20% also, ending up with 20 warp

ISC XCC Flagship Cruiser - Link
The big bad boy of ISC fleet. Packing two Heavy PPDs and 2 S-canister torps, it's the core of any X2 echelon and the showcase ship for all the new ISC technology I came up with. It was also the first X2 ship I created. As a result, it's been poked and tweaked more than the rest of the fleet combined. The Plasma Casters may receive plasmas only from lateral F-torps with the same firing arc. Plasmas may not be transferred from the forward S-torps, even if the launcher is holding a F-torp.

Retaining the HPPDs of its big brother, it lends an echelon offensive power with its HPPDs The BPVs for the XCS and XCL are identical for now because I don't have a good feel for what's better, the APP or the Canister-S The Plasma Casters may receive plasmas only from lateral F-torps with the same firing arc.

ISC XCL Light Cruiser

The Plasma-version, its job is to make anyone who penetrated the gunline or tries to flank the Echelon very sorry they did as well as provide seeking weapon defense for other units. The Plasma Casters may receive plasmas only from lateral F-torps with the same firing arc. Technology Used

ISC XDD Destroyer

The Cadillac (such as it is) of gunline ships. I got a little nervous about giving the thing forward-firing plasma casters, fearing it was too good so I made them a refit. The FP Plasma Caster may receive plasmas only from the FP Plasma-F's. The AP Plasma caster may only receive F-torps from the two lateral launchers. Technology Used

ISC XFF Frigate

The most expendable X2 ISC ship, the 20 warp power makes the X2 ship s bit easier to work with as compared to an X1 or General War-era FF. The FP Plasma Caster may receive plasmas from either FP Plasma-F. Technology Used
