The thread was supposed to be Unobtanium, a member of a family of the handwavium of substances

This is something that has been brewing in my mind for a while. It revolves that there are things that corporations and governments have access to that are simply beyond the budget of Shadowrunners.

Tanks, A-T weaponry, sensor systems way beyond anything in the books, 40 dice firewalls, aerospace fighters, cybernetics not on the market, cyborg shells.

I think it's good that the Shadowrun books focus on what is obtainable by Shadowrunners and not the unobtainables. Really when was the last time a runner could afford his/her lifestyle let alone the 1.5 billion nuyen patrol corvette (why yes I just parked it down at the marina)?

As a GM I find it fine that there are things that Shadowrunners do not have access to. I also do not see why in an OCD way everything has to be described to nauseating detail.
