Bad example. Upgrading from a Basic to a Superior FCS is quite probably
the *best* investment you can make in the current DSII points system -
the cost of the vehicle usually increases by somewhere between 5% and
10% (unless it is a very small, very cheap vehicle with a very big
gun), but its hit rate goes up by somewhere around 70% (boosting the
combat power of the vehicle by about 30% compared to if it had had
Basic FCS).

Because of this, Superior FCs are very much *under*priced - if you
really want to pay for what you actually get, they should cost about
three times as much as they currently do! *Reducing* them in cost will
do virtually nothing to correct the hi/low balance problem - even if
you got them for free you won't save much more than 5% the cost of your
high-tech tank.

It's all those other fancy gadgets - advanced power packs and mobility
types in particular - that make high-tech vehicles so overpriced...

I agree with the rest of your comments to Graeme's post <g>
