Below is a raw text (the actual saved data) output from a Mac DSII 
vehicle application I created for Geo-Hex.  Sorry about the numbers and 
data tags, I don't have the time to remove them to make viewing easier. 

The App limits vehicles to size 7 so the cost is off, but the total 
points on a class 7 with all the weapons listed and limiting the armor
to 
7 is still 677 points.	My guess is that pushing up the size to 12 would

be (5 times approx. 28 = 140) and pushing up the armor to 12 would be (5

times approx. 18 = 90) for a whopping grand total of 903 point or there 
about.
