Not sure about the exact correspondence of capacity-to-BMF (It should be

scaled based on the vehicle, say 1 capacity * Vehicle class per 2", but
this 
is ALSO a viable stopgap method for the current system.

Agreed, And I do think both capacity requirement stats AND cost-based
stats 
should be flavor options, since they are both dependent on the Real Life

historical OR the fictional setting of the campaign.
