Rules Question: Multiple Accessories
Can a car have both an "off-road suspension" and the "rugged suspension" or the "dynamic suspension"?
Rules for accessories say they can't have the same name. The full names are different. But the bolded part is the same "suspension". I couldn't find any clarification in the rulebook and just wondered if I missed it somewhere as to if the "name" is the entire part or just the bolded part? Additionally, for upgrades, it says they can't share the same name OR subtype. I am assuming subtype is the word after the dash ie "frame" in the cards with "upgrade - frame". It is just never specified where I can find it that the word after the dash is indeed the subtype? |

And yes, for "UPGRADE - FRAME", FRAME is the subtype. You can have as many just "UPGRADE" as you like.

Re: Rules Question: Multiple Accessories
Does anyone know if any of the 6e designers have weighed in on this somewhere else?

"You can absolutely equip multiple suspensions, yes! The names are indeed different, despite the small-print-over-large-print text style, and they do not have a subtype (which IS the second word following the hyphen — the rules left that unfortunately ambiguous). We only put restrictions for cards in places where we saw potential game-breaking exploits. We didn't want to restrict anything JUST because it was thematically strange. I know it's a little unrealistic to stack suspension parts like that, but it totally works. If it helps, think of it as combining suspension capabilities into a much beefier single suspension."

Re: Rules Question: Multiple Accessories
I've got a question about Gear.
Driving Gloves have a subtype of Gloves. Driving Boots don't have a printed subtype. Is this a typo? |

"Not a typo. There may, in the future, be additional gloves that provide combat-specific buffs, and we don't want those effects stacking. We simply don't intend to make more boots. as most of the benefits provided by boots would, thematically, have to correlate to on-foot combat. There are other ways to do that with gear that could be restricted by subtype, and more importantly, I don't want to further incentivize getting out of the car in a game called Car Wars."
