Not so stupid.

1. DFO load is 4 capacity points.
2.      I model sidewinders using SG GMS/P.  For dirtside, this would be
capacity 1, range:18", draw 1 chit. (see:
http://home.pacific.net.au/~southernskies/sg/dogfight.htm for my take on
these).

Landers: For Dirtside, if the lander is carrying tanks, it's too big for the
scale of the game, so simply pay the "interface" cost. If you do want to model
landers of this scale, you'll need to design them using FT and allow 1 mass
per size 5 vehicle (20-25 cs per mass).
VTOLs don't have interface capability under the rules, due to the motive
type/powerplant (vectored thrust or rotor lift etc).  Interface craft of
this size come under the aerospace design rules (1000% engine cost).
