Right. I would like to keep the same design system in DS and SG, which causes
a few problems. In DS fixed mounts can not move then fire, this is their big
drawback. If restricted arc turrets take 2x then no
rules-lawyer/munchkin/
powergamer will use fixed mounts. Otherwise I agree entirely with Mike. (My
house rule solution will be to use Mike's suggestion for paired
left/right
turrets, but to cost forward (or rear) mounted turrets at 3x. And to mostly
use vehicles with full travers turrets.)

What about when teams are larger than 4? Most SG squads are eight strong and
thus are two DS teams. But what about the NSL, they use six man squads? I'm
going to use 1 capacity=1 man in DS as well from now on.

I would say 1 capacity for the weapon and 1 for ammo reloads if appropriate.
(This includes GMS/L and LAD teams in DS)

Whoa! This is kinda important. Up to now, how have other people been playing
it?

Sure has.
