What are the caps on monthly income?
« on: March 02, 2010, 06:12:09 pm »

I noticed that Credit card fraud seems to be capped at around 15k per month, no matter how many hackers you put on it. It's around 25k for donations and 15k for music, right? What are the other fundraising caps in the game?

Also, how many members of what skill level should I put on the job to reach these caps? Just an estimate would be fine, since hard numbers would be difficult here. Ballpark figure, like 10 people with 10 skill in music, or 20 people with 15 Computer for credit card....

The only hard cap is on credit card fraud, and that's because your hackers work as a team and make a single roll for their income each day. Eventually you're passing every check with flying colors, so there's no point in adding more people.

Because I found a use for money: TRAINING. I converted 2 Agents, and noticed they have good rifle skills and teaching. So I am having them give classes. That's 30k per month.
Still. Once the training is complete, I wouldn't need money anymore. So good point.
