It's time to Make Stuff Up. (the formal phrase is House Rules...)

As it stands, you could have a vehicle that could deploy bridges,
preform
CEV & armour recovery operations, _and_ mount weaponry, because only the
guns take up space.

Stopgap rule ideas: Bridgelayers: Bridge takes up the whole damn hull.
Size of bridge carried (therefore weight limit on bridge) is equal to
the
vehicle's hull size. Only the 'free' APSW is allowed - maybe not even
that.

CEV/armour repair package: Don't know. Biggish - call it 10 to 15 cap
points. I haven't got my DS2 book n front of me. 

Just my $0.02,
