Moon Taxes

Tired of wealthy runners waltzing through your servers at will? Hired a Security Team but can they never seem to tag those pesky runners?

Newsflash from NBN's Daily Business Show: You're doing it wrong! And you're going broke doing it!

Sure, we all like meat damage and we all like scoring out agendas behind towers of scary cosmic ice, but that seems to be happening a lot less frequently than we'd like lately. Building your deck around keeping runners out is almost a non-starter now. They've got too many tools, too many clicks, and WAY too much money to keep them out long enough to score easily. Likewise, building your deck around tagging ice is getting harder as well, with runners quickly adapting to an Argus-rich environment and having been already used to avoiding traps from RP.

Time to do what Weyland was meant to do... make REAL money. Not that joke of a GRNDL division blood-money. Not that piddly little BaBW operation change. Not the smarmy banker/investment portfolio garbage they do over at Titan. Not even the (somewhat impressive) Blue Sun recycling-contract money... I'm talking about non-atmospheric money. Stacks of cash that reach from the Root to Heinlein Grid. Moon Money.

Cover your centrals, lay out your money-makers, and watch the runner go broke accessing and trashing your assets and upgrades (after they've already paid for themselves many times over), while you're swimming in credits like Scrooge McDuck. Spend like 10 turns not bothering with anything that doesn't get you money. Then, once they do manage to finally snag that one NAPD they busted themselves to get, Midseasons and land your 15+ tags. At that point, you can win however you want... Scoring or Flatline. Go ahead and burn down all of SanSan... you're going to be living on your own Moon base anyway!

Small hint for living the good life: Make sure to take the time to savor the look on the runner's face when you "Shoot the Moon" to rez your Curtain/Hadrian/Hadrian/Caduceus scoring server even though you had enough credits to rez them all without it. That way your Corporate Troubleshooter has more fun boosting Ice to 20+ strength.
