I would read those DS II rules. A bit of advice: don't expect to understand
everything you read first time through. The generous use of acronyms can
make the rule book a tad unreadable. Also, I would recommend leaving the
vehicle design section until you have an idea about what everything represents
in the rules. All of the the talk about HKP's, CMT's, stealth levels, GMS's
can get a bit confusing (at least that is what I found). Notes may help
when it comes time to play a game as the organization of the rulebook isn't
the greatest. Also, if you want some of the stats for some of the epic
vehicles I have made up, just send me an email...
