Re: Mars, maglevs speeds, and gauss guns
For weapons, I would probably blame Vehicles; the weapons in the basic book were significantly underdesigned by standards of VE2, even if you set the TL to 9, without any clear guidelines for how they were reduced (other than power cells being less capable). The designs in ITW were, as far as I know, straight up TL 9 VE2 designs (with the reduced power cells, but otherwise unchanged).
