"the keys are in the grav car and the door is unlocked. What they don't know is it the latest model and can be tracked by the bad guys later.

"I may be wounded but his gun jams. Fine he's still a trained hand to hand fighter so this only buys a round or two, maybe your friends can show up in time.

as I leap out the 10th floor window I grab the leftover maintenance rig, the rig sparks and groans ... oh no that's why they left it, it's malfunctioning

damn we are stumpted, action net news runs a special with the tip to lead us in the right direction

  GM always has the power of veto to say no and refund but it's a tightrope if the currency feels like it has not value. But these are the opportunities to increase player investment and let them help write drama.

Give them a base, house, home, haven, vehicle and let them help design it or at least the highlight features.
 

Give them a sidekick, mentor, helper, contact resource etc. Catch is they are a ward and have to be protected. Sometimes they roll a meaningless fumble. Now you save that fumble and their peep is in danger hunted from the past, kidnapped, has a rare illness was experimented on with cutting edge biotechnology that went wrong, but the company want back their sample.

There are many good ideas there. I like the homebase idea. My campaigns move over long distances at times, making it difficult. I need to figure out a way without giving them a moving house to sleep in.   I also like the idea of a gun jamming. That might be given by the GM or maybe you could hand out some type of hero point and the character can choose when to use it. Hmmm?
