You could fill the air gap with smaller charges. So 10 and a half 800 charges really is 10x 800 charges and 1x 400 charge. Exaclty, size wise, energy wise, everything wise.
Its still not completely scalable, but you can fill your cargo hold pretty much to the brim with 800's and 400's. -----------------------------------------------

Doing that gives you a hugely reduced cap/sec rate towards the end of the fight (or whenever you choose to load the smaller charges instead of the 800s). The domi would have to carry 18x800, 3x200 to completely fill the cargo hold. A single "fill" of 800s gives 55cap/sec for 58 seconds. The 200s drop this to 13 cap/sec. Not even close to being comparable.
It doesn't make sense to change cargo sizes and introduce error when a simple change to the internal mechanics of charges+injectors (boost and activation time respectively) would produce perfectly scalable results.
Well considering 400's are half an 800, you'll only ever have 1x 400, to fill the last bit of space. So consider it not so much as slowing down your cap-pre-sec towards the end, so much as the last "half cycle" of an 800  -----------------------------------------------

Let's do some maths before we post shall we?
600/32 = 18 remainder 24 24/16 = 1 remainder 8
So to fill the cargo hold completely you need to carry 18 800s, 1 400 and 1 200 or 18 800s and 3 200s. I chose 200s because they give the better cap/sec of the two choices.
Reducing the volume of cap charges IS NOT A SOLUTION and it causes more problems. Adjusting the boost of each charge and the cycle times of the modules solves the problem perfectly and with least ineraction with external variables (cargo capacity).
Thankyou ^_^
That was at gone 1am, and I was too lazy to check  -----------------------------------------------
