I don't know the ruiles in G:Space, so I can't comment on those, but Iwould
allow for something along the lines of G:Vehicles 'ruggedised' - a cost and
weight multiplier that gives a certain effect. You could have such multiplier
sets for "cheap", "easy maintenance", "high power compact", "emission
controlled" and such.
That way, an F-22 engine would be "TL8 high power compact" while that of an A
380 would be "TL8 emission controlled fuel efficient" and an Antonov would be
"TL 7 ruggedised easy maintenance".
But for the hard numbers, you'll have to ask someone else.
