We always preferred to not have anyone on the street know who we were and what we had done. So we had no street cred based on who we were. But we could be VERY convincing when we needed to. And our usual clients did know who we were and what we had done, but they didn't talk about it either.

Notoriety is still pretty much by the book... I've been toying with the idea of ditching notoriety completely and expanding the street cred system so that your rep can be represented according to whatever factions are in the game as well as a general street cred representing the oppinion of factions that you havn't had dealings with. For example you might have an overall street cred of 3 but effectively have 2 with the Mafia but -1 with the yak's and 4 with Renraku. Important corps could also be worked into it.

One very important factor is that all that matters with streetcred is percived competance. This means that a team could completely blow a run, kill the guy they're supposed to be extracting, make a big scene and end up with their misadventure splashed across CNN but if they smooth things over with the Johnson and they otherwise have a reputation for good work then their rep might not take (or not take as big of) a hit.
