I don't pose any restrictions on gear available to either starting
characters or ones already in a campaign. That means starting characters can
buy Vanquishers if they want to, or a semi-ballistic if they have the cash
(yeah sure :), or whatever you want to name...
For characters already in the game, well they have to roll the Availability
otherwise they can't get it. I use my own version of the Avail. rules,
namely the character, not the contact, rolls an Etiquette test against the
Avail. figure. If it succeeds, it's there in the base time, divided by the
number of successes; price is the street price, open to negotiation of
course. If the Avail. test fails, the item is out of stock :) for the base
time starting now, try again when that time has passed...
