Limits are NOT the domain of the descriptive construction system.
They're an attribute of a /setting/.  If you're seeing uber-Jeeps on
the table, find out why.  Maybe that setting has micro-energy
shielding and spacerime disruption bombards ... who can say?  You've
just been out-teched.  What you're complaining about is akin to
someone playing in a multiversal environ complaining that his Roman
Legion went up against Terminators from 2035 and were shocked they
were robots under their fake skins.

Its like legislating morality, that never works.

What should govern the issue is that the uber-Jeep costs what your
entire force runs you, and the law of averages will eventually bite
him in the butt.  Because, paying for actual /effect/, he is going to
be racking up quite the bill.  The Roman Century shouldn't be up
against more than a squad of Terminators, by the same notion.
