D=defense (+30% per armor, +20% per shield)
M=speed (+50% per move increment above basic)

genres. You can make a super-fast, super-tough battleship, but it will
be
your entire fleet! Makes it fairly easy to model the space-cruiser

Might be worth a look and possible 'borrowing' for a ground ruleset.
