Advancement packages provide assets, narrative bonuses and cryptoscrip and are the primary way of acquiring and specializing in vehicle usage. When you advance you have been assumed to have stable backing of an individual, group or organization. Advancement usually secures reliable access to everything you need to maintain advancement assets. However actions against the individual, group or organization will likely jeopardize their backing. Moreover consistent failure on missions, asking for repair or replacement of assets too frequently or creating issues for your backers may also jeopardize their backing of you. Losing backing may have a number of consequences ranging from simply termination of contacts, resulting in having to pay maintenance fees on or having to independently source equipment to make a powerful foe that seeks to repossess their assets, bring you to justice or destroy you. This is largely determined by RP and the GM.
Securing new backing can be simple or difficult, it might just be expressing the need for backing or having to do some tasks to convince a new backer to invest in the character.
Your backer will expect that you serve their interests and within the framework of the story will have requests of you. They might set missions or steer you towards what they want or believe.
Advancement allows a character at or after creation to increase the tier of the game and select an advancement package. Players cannot select packages higher than their tier though they can pick a package from a lower tier.
