[Spaceships][Vorkosigan] Off-Size Systems and Power

Disclaimer: I don't own Vorkosigan (yet).

If this follows Spaceships a +1 SM powerplant should produce 3 times the powerpoints, and a large system should use 3 times the powerpoints.

A -1 SM powerplant should produce 1/3 times the powerpoints and the the small systems should use 1/3 the power.

This becomes obvious when you look at for example the beam output of a battery (of the same size) for different ship sizes.
