Subject: [DSIII] points based on pure capacity.
Back to this "no points" system. How about: <re-iterate> capacity = (3**tech) * size # the 3 could be modified </re-iterate> Cost = capacity * (size modifier) Where a size 3 vehicle would have a modifier of 1, a size 2 would have a modifier of.8, a size 1.6, etc. You design your vehicle with the capacity system. The varying levels of miniaturization are accounted for by higher capacity which equates to higher cost. We let the best vehicle designs fall out and don't worry about perfect balance as we will not achieve that. The balance comes in when deciding how much capacity a sytem takes.
