I mean there's a lot of crimes i dont bother with once i get all the merits and max the skill?  Im sure a lot you dont too.  Thats fine.

 

I think its probably premature to talk about value with this one because the income is so dependent on the supplies.  Once a couple of hot new crimes come out the profit ratio will look radically different from this.  Plus.. well a few thoughts:

 

  1. Remember theres going to be dozens of crimes once this is complete.  Most of them will be ones you work on as part of the 'ladder' so to speak not your go to eveyr day one.  They cant all be that of course
  2. There is probably a good argument to make if at the end of the day 1-2 arsons, 1-2 disposals etc are good profit.. if you care about money that's actually a good thing.  If you think about it if thats probably actually the better way to design it if you want more crimes to stay somewhat relevant long term once skill is maxed out
  3. As mentioned for something so reliant on market value the long term rate of return is going to be very hard to pin down until a few more crimes have come out
  4. With dozens of crimes by definition not everyone will be the best return for money.  And money isnt the only reason to do these crimes (merits, ce for example)
