Description
As it is right now I can either infiltrate Rho Constrution (Maximum Level: 5) and get 3509.28 reputation for Shadows of Anarchy, or I can infiltrate Bachman and Associates (Maximum Level: 15) and get 5725.30
I can do the first one about three times in the same time it takes me to do the second with the same likelihood of success on each challenge (99% as both are trivial 0/100 difficulty). Oh and if I run out of HP on the 15th challenge doing B&A I'm out the full 5700 whereas if I was 15 deep in Rho, I'd be out 3500 (of 10500), keeping 7000.
The code only takes into account the starting security level of the targeted company (485 for Rho and 1350 for B&A) and the difficulty of the infiltration (so....0) with all other factors even (whether or not I have the WKS Harmonizer, my favor with SOA, etc).
So why would I ever infiltrate a place other than Joe's Guns if I want to get the most faction rep possible for the least amount of time and effort?
I mean sure I suppose I could infiltrate Megacorp's 50 levels deep, but my expected payout is on the order of 10,000 rep, which I can get by infiltrating Rho three times. I don't even see this being any better when automated with sleeves/singularity/etc: wouldn't it still be more efficient to go after the weaker targets forever?
For comparison, Clarke Inc has a (ui displayed) difficulty of 36 and a depth of 18 and the reward is... a whopping 6,676.02--still less than double Rho Construction.
