Vehicle Upgrades

Note: The more obviously upgraded and war-like your vehicle becomes, the higher your Subtlety Rating will go. For every 5 External Upgrades applied to a vehicle, increase the vehicle's size by one margin (e.g. Enormous to Massive). For every 5 Internal Upgrades applied to a vehicle, reduce the crew capacity by 1.
Someone with the appropriate Trade Skill must install upgrades, whether that be a PC or an NPC.
Upgrades are allowed at the GM's discretion. Obviously having a Heavy Stubber Turret on your Veloxi Autocycle will not be allowed.
