Then there re the individuals who happen to be weapons in their own right.... how to they factor into the system. How do edge cases like weapon produces who might keep hardware on-stock factor in? Or the training centre on Frigga which explicitly has enough firearms to equip a small army and a good chunk of demilitarised drones? What counts as an operational weapon? Just the spacecraft itself, or a spacecraft and a crew to fly it?
There has to be some manner of grading it all on an even keel so you can compare apples, oranges and chainsword. A sort of points system like a wargame. Which naturally leads to the creation of a Fenspace tabletop wargame where you can actually put your crackpot theories about who would win in a fight with who to the test. And accusations of bias as each new codex comes out.
