My take on it is to play it as written. It seems to balance out with
the others (Ancients is *well* worth the money, while Trogs is not...)
What they need is a Special that works when you have a Gang HQ in play.
Hmm, the possibilities...

I assume that if the targeted Runner backs out, the attack was never
made; but once they go into R-on-R combat, Bad Rep is opened up.

This one's not very well worded - "must fight" doesn't seem to allow for
backing out of it.

It's a nice safety valve for when you bump into your own Challenge (via
Security Consultants), though. Hmm - it's not, technically, a 'pumper'
Challenge, so the Fat Man can't touch it..

But you're right, far too over-priced, and it's not like Lone Star has a
lot of financial support (unlike the Mafia - Shakedown, brrr!)

Has anyone noticed that The Docks doesn't give you any Y the first time
you use it?

And you know it, baby.
