I saw that or something similar; someone else pointed out that in space,
it's not necessarily volume so much as mass that you have to worry
about--although you still have to fit it inside the hull, of course. 
You
might have room for more MBTs but not lift capacity; you might have the
lift to carry more empty trucks, but not be able to squeeze them in.

The low I've seen is 20CS = 1 Mass, the high was 100CS = 1 Mass
(proposed
IIRC by TomB in 98 or so).  I think that 50CS is reasonable, possibly
with
a "density" rating for vehicles.
