RE: [DS2] Vehicle Design

Could try a different scale, but there could be scaling issue with
weapons.

Total Capacity = (Size^2)*5
Weapon Capacity = (Size^2) * [2 for fixed, 3 for turretted].
Armour Capacity = Highest AV^2

This gives larger vehicles more capacity, but weapons/armor will take
more
capacity.  It also has some disadvantages for size 1 vehicles, but could
work out.

eg: A size 2 transport has 20 capacity.
Class-2 RFAC turret = 12 capacity
AV2 on front = 4 capacity
One stands of Infantry = 4 capacity

Eg2: A size 3 MBT has 45 capacity.
Class-3 HVC = 27 capacity
AV4 on front = 16 capacity
LAD = 2 capacity.
