Ok, so according to the book of SR5 12 to 15 grand per runner is not unreasonable pay for a runner team on many jobs (More with a decent face, but still)
Ok, so let's say that during the adventure you encounter an enemy decker with a rating 2 deck. Not unreasonable. You defeat him, and swipe his deck. Now you sell it. call it 30% (25% + 1 net hit complements of your face, who's likely to have a better negotiation dicepool than a decker who's after a new deck.) That's 30-33 grand, or in a 4 runner team 7.5 - 8 grand each. That's half your paycheck from a single piece of loot. A good roll from your face will get you a lot more, adding 5 or more grand per hit before dividing it up. In effect, any time you face off against a decker with even a lousy rating 2 'link who doesn't have it implanted will be a gift of a lot of cash in a very portable form. On the flip side, is it really worth it for a small facility to get this massively expensive piece of gear and an operator? Or is my willing suspension of disbelief just sub-par? |
