FWIW, the first edition of Dirtside had a construction system
that, heavily paraphrased, went like this: 
"look at the miniature of your vehicle, 
decide what size it looks most like, 
decide what armour it should have, 
decide what mobility type it looks most like, 
decide what weapons it looks like it has,
decide how many stands of troops it should contain,
decide what other systems it should have,
here is the formula to determine points cost."

No capacity problems at all, it just went by what the miniature
vehicle looked like.
