On top of the influence cost, the Source costs the runner 5 credits by the time they have installed it and stolen an Agenda. This is obviously a pretty rough deal for the runner, so why would they want that?
The reason is the magic numbers it causes:
- 2-advance agendas can't be scored from HQ in one turn anymore.
- 3-advance agendas can't be scored from installed-but-not-advanced
- 3-advance agendas can't be scored from HQ in one turn via Biotic Labour or SanSan anymore.
- 5-advance agendas can't be scored over two turns anymore (via install-advance-advance, advance-advance-advance).
The most valuable of these is probably that it shuts down fast advance strategies, hard. But the effect on 5-advance agendas is pretty valuable too - now you'll get at least TWO turns to make a successful run on it. And you can make a mess of an NBN Never Advance strategy as well.
If your meta is big on Fast-Advance, this plus solid income, a running rig and HQ interface is likely to make short work of that.
Yep. The counters don't care about the cost to score it. The Agenda specifically says each counter over three.
