Ammo. When a player buys special ammo for one cred, does it last for one mission or do they have it forever? Please no “Whatever your heart desires” responses; I’m thinking of game balance and author’s intent as far as ammo goes.

I hope it’s not a cop out answer, but “whatever the fiction dictates”. I don’t think one cred would get you a lifetime supply of air burst rounds, but it should last for a few missions at least, depending on how cavalier the character is with autofire.
A more concrete version of that answer: it lasts until the MC makes a hard move (as established by the fiction) to take it away.
Alright. Thanks for the answer.
Yeah, I would definitely go with “the player has it until there’s a good reason & opportunity for the MC to take it away.”
To get detailed, saying “Your bag of dragon’s breath rounds is getting pretty light… what do you do?” could be a soft move. “You fire and just hear CLICK CLICK CLICK” would be a nice hard move at the right moment.
