I just got W&P and Boosters 28-30.

Should the ISC CS be the same points as the CL? Having 2 PPD is far superior than having 2 PL-S.

The balance is that you need to have at least as many ships as PPDs. This means the other (expensive) ISC ships help to weigh out the cost difference (of about 5 per PL-S to PPD per the Orions).

Then how do you use the CS in a scenario by itself...

I noticed the same issue applies to the DNP and the DNT.

At Origins, I recall SVC saying to add 10 points to the ship with the PPD.

I'm comparing the ISC CC and CA. The CC costs 35 pts more and has additional over the CA:

1 PPD
4 PWR
2 Control

Based on this, I'd say the system values the PPD as roughly 30 pts.

The Gorn BCH costs 32 pts over the BC and has additional:

1 PL-S
2 PH-1
2 PH-3
1 Control
3 PWR
2 BAT
2 TRAN
18 shield boxes.

Based on this, the system probably values the PL-S as roughly 15 pts or so.

So each PPD should cost roughly 15 pts more than a PL-S. That sounds right to me, that a PPD is roughly the value of 2 PL-S or 1 PL-R.

First and future shock calls for a lone cs.

You can always use a lone ship. So, you can use an ISC CS by itself if you want.

The restriction is there for squadrons and fleets so you don't load up on PPD ships at the expense of anything else.

I will have to research on that, and I can't do that right now.
