As much as it's frightening to say this as a player,
you need more combat.  Chips get spent at the END of
the session, and if you don't survive until the end,
you don't get to spend them to improve.  On top of
that, you might want to increase the difficulties of
the apptitude rolls they need to make, and play up
those Hinderances to make things more difficult.
