Hey guys In my game the players keep asking for high availability items - sniper rifles, assault cannons, rating 6 SINs, availaility 20 cyber and bioware etc.

Now according to RAW there's no problem - after a bit of time there's no chance their face will fail to obtain these items. But I seem to recall such being a bit hard to get in previous editions?

So what are your house rules, if any? So far I've told em they won't be able to get anything over 12 without special contacts obtained through play. For example, after playing Queen Euphoria they could get sniper rifles and assault cannons, as they got to talk to a master armorer elf.

I want some things to be hard to get. Perhaps it's just my SNES Shadowrun days where you just started out with a Beretta and getting a Defiance T-250 was a challenge... but "I want an assault cannon" "Ok, roll extended test" "Ok I got it in x days.".
