you what? TC ships have qute a lot of polys! I mean you of course CAN put the to X2 (did it once with Xenon Q) but this needs way more work than you might believe right now. copy-paste a body from TC / XT cat to X2 cat won't do the job!
you have to create a new scene, which means to excange turret-bodies, laser and dockingpoint. Further you have to re-texture the whole model you want to port! It may sound easy, but it takes a lot of time changing them.

The XT-ships don't have that much polys, so there shouldn't be that much problems, but thinking of the high-detail TC-ships you have to split them in several pieces. X2 won't read any body with that many polys.

-> It is possible, but it's a lot of work!
