One that kinda annoys me:

- Why does the mark up factor count for every design option? I can
imagine that it does for luxury vehicles, but security services
aren't going to fork over 2.5 times the normal money to get a better
sensor system for example. "So mr. car salesman you're saying that
because my vehicle has a weapon mount, my sensor suite is 125K
instead of 50K?" At which point mr car salesman suddenly realized
that apart from having more money than the civil market, security
corps also have a lot of fire power and the licenses to use it...
