For a piece of heavy weaponry that might involve a smuggler trip to the african coast, an undercover operation in a weapon plant, a dangerous job for the mob or all three together. Materials for magic rituals might either be restricted to x nuyen worth per week, or demand a run on a mage shop, or a trip to the unspoiled countryside to gather them (and dodge some hostile natives).That way the GM has more control over the power level of the campaign, and the other players get a new run to participate in instead of a one-man-shopping-trip.</blockquote>
