Oh man, in my games that sort of cash isn't even going
to buy a rank amateur team. That sort of money isn't going
to be enough to even sustain a group at low lifestyle for
long.

For example, the Day Job flaw from the SR:Comp gives
an income from a legitimate job of Y1,000 per month
for one build point. This equates to a Y12,000 per year
income which is less than half the annual per capita
income published in New Seattle. What on earth are
your runner's motivations if they can easily make more
money in a legit, infinitely safer day job?

It is still a market economy I suppose but can the 5,000Y team do
the job as discreetly and as professionally as the 10,000Y per
runner team? It is certainly a matter of resources.

I take it then that the runs that you do are low threat?
