RE: (DS): Systems per Class

You can do the slammers combat car in DSII without breaking the rules as

they are written.  It explicitely states that the "free" APSW does NOT 
count towards any capacity or size limitations issues (Page 11: ALL 
MILITARY VEHICLES ARE FITTED WITH ONE "FREE" APSW, CAPABLE OF ALL-ROUND 
FIRE; THIS WEAPON DOES NOT COUNT TOWARDS ANY WEAPONS FIT LIMITATIONS, OR

TAKE UP ANY CAPACITY.).  Thus, your combat car (size 2) with 3 APSWs is 
within the "2 weapons max" limit despite the third weapon.  Further, the

PDS is not listed as a "weapon" but rather as a "defensive system". 
E.G.,
it doesn't count as a "weapon" because it can't be used to attack
anything.

I don't see the problem.
