The [[Interdiction Gunship]] has a well strength of 1, [[Interdiction Corvette]] has a well strength of 2 and the [[Interdiction Destroyer]] has a well strength of 5. All other Tech 2 ships follow the same pattern as Tech 1 ships, with Gunship through Destroyer having a well strength of 1 while Cruisers and [[Lancer\|Lancers]] having a well strength of 2.

	Battlecruisers, barges & cruisers have a jump strength of ~~two~~, while all other player ships have a jump strength of ~~one~~.		NPC Loci also have a strength of 1 (needs verification).
