Break the bank 100%
The crimes are ordered from least to most profitable, so Scamming should in theory make you the most money (if you can pull off the high level scams). In reality I find Cracking to be the best, since it pays cash and you can reduce nerve spent by guessing. Only issue is there's a limit on daily jobs, just like Disposal. Forgery also requires materials then selling items which isn't as good.
I always tell people to work from cash gathering > (if new) as its the best way to get the most out of your nerve and with 2 nerve per success roll, its a lot more economic than doing fewer higher nerve crimes with higher chance for failure.
For people who have high CE from the old system.. its probably still a good way of doing things as you get a more rounded crimes portfolio for OC 2.0
scamming can give the best $/nerve but you need to be skilled and a little lucky, and have also invested in building up lots of emails, so there is a larger barrier to entry
Some may say Scamming or Cracking, but I think faction vault scams are at the top of the mountain
disposing bodies > high-tier cracking > high-tier scamming (with really good luck)
All of it is still worse than just hacking in crimes 1.0 though, maybe even worse than spamming arsons
OC's ,2.0
What's all the hate? They're profitable
Thanks
