Hello everybody

Altogether, following this discussion about speed and armour, my
impression
is that most of the suggested complication isn't really warranted.

Why not just have armour classes and final mobility classes ? Just pay
for
the final result (making speed price dependent on total "weight" of the
vehicle). You can always argue that an uparmoured variant of a vehicle
also
received an engine upgrade to allow the same top speed. No need to
directly
model performance degradation due to armour. The important point is to
get
the balance right, not to model the perforamnce characteristics of a
grav
vehicle.
