Here are a few lessons that I learned in my games last night:
Lesson #1: Cash is King™. I thought that with Easy Mark, Account Siphon, Bank Job, and Sure Gamble that I'd have enough credits such that I wouldn't need Armitage. I was wrong. I was very, very wrong. Using a click for +1 credit was actively painful. Being able to double that to +2 credits would have enabled me to run significantly more times as my recovery time would have been significantly shortened.
Lesson #2: Aurora is expensive. Breaking a non-advanced Ice Wall isn't that difficult, but a single-advanced Ice Wall and Wall of Static were incredibly unpleasant. I thought that Aurora was worth trying out, and I'm glad I did, and I don't think that I need to do it again for a while. I have some influence to spare, so I should be able to swap that out.
Lesson #3: Crypsis isn't a good replacement for anything, especially given that my Special Orders can find whatever I need whenever I need it. I wanted a backup code gate breaker once my Gordian Blade bites the dust, and I never found it to be all that compelling. I'd really like to make room for another Gordian if I can.
Lesson #4: The Datasucker from my session report was a huge boost to my running ability as I was able to use the counters to bring advanced Ice Wall's back down to strength 1, allowing me to Aurora through them without having to increase its strength. However, they take up programming space, so between my icebreakers, Datasuckers, and Sneakdoor Betas I feel like I'm really tight on memory (hence the Akamatsu Mem Chips).
Where to go from here:
Considering removing:
Akamatsu x2 (-2 influence)
Aurora x2
Datasucker x1 (-1 influence)
Considering adding:
Corroder x2 (+4 influence)
Armitage x3
I have one influence to spare already, so the influence math works out for these changes.
I really would like to fit in another Gordian, but I can't see a way to do that without removing Diesels.
Thoughts, suggestions, feedback, etc. welcome as always!
