RE: [DS2][SG2] harmonizing spaces in vehicles

One thing to keep in mind for GMS/L, class-1 rfac etc is that they are
treated as a squad member when determining casualties (it has an armour

of d8).  Check out the ground-mount rules (can't remember the page

This sort of intimates that it would also take a crew space.
