Bag'O'Tricks
- The laptop computer is incoorporated into the vehicle, as per the rules for plate armor. It gains the Ackward quality.
- Speaking of the laptop: it both makes the Nitrous actually safe to use and eliminates the Initiative penalty of the Turbo Kit.
- The cycle looks, like, really smooth and hot. Totally.
- Wondering about the GP cost? The Gemini comes with 2 GPs of free refinements (as does the Saggitarius).
- Suggested "light" variant: Strip all gadgets except wind resistance reduction. This drops Speed to 950, MPH to 95 /190 and Hardness to 3, but doesn't otherwise do too much to the stats. Sure, all the cool kit is gone, but the speed hit isn't too bad. The "light" variant is pretty much the base vehicle with the bonus GP spent, so it only costs 6 GP.

Via pg. 86 of the S/W, yes. I think it only applies to threats against vehicles and scenery, but it's still pretty nasty - that's what you get for vehicular weapons.
AND, you get to choose the ammo type. Everything in the MAG is fair game. (Hint: If you still have GP to throw around, a full load of DU ammo costs 3 GP.)
