Hello Phil,

The CT LBB 2 and CT LBB 5 construction systems require that all ship's have a power plant. Non-starships must also have a maneuver drive and starships must have a jump drive with the maneuver drive as an optional system.

The official X-Boat omits any mention of a power plant which in my opinion and supported by the Consolidated CT Errata is a broken design.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yet, I do believe that the original CT LBB2 actually predates 'introduction' of the Xboat, doesn't it?

Well, in any case, the Xboat system is such an integral part of the TU that Xboats just have to exist, no matter what.

So, there it is...

Broken, along with, it seems, just about every other design ever published by GDW et al, in any version!
