I have never played the FASA game, but couldn't Activision get around this and
still remain somewhat true to FASA rules by 'inventing' weapon varriants that
take up less space but weigh more?  Sort of like Ferro-Fibrous armor, Endo
Steel and XL Engines in reverse.  Of course, using standard armor, internals
and engines will give you more room and use up some of that pesky extra weight, but not enough.

I agree!
