I think hacking the supercomputer works also for 50/1000 juice, but you'll also need high computer skill in addition to security and stealth. However depending on map layout, it might actually be easier, since a shorter way towards the computer and back means less of a chance to get spotted.

Uh...and the Treason charge that results from messing with the supercomputer is heat-free?  I'm not at all sold on that one.  Safecracking or raiding the CCS safehouse would be the way I'd go after 200 Juice.

I said I think it is so. I'm not sure if you get the charge if you don't get noticed.

I'm pretty confident one gets charged as soon as one does the hack, regardless of success or failure.  If there's a separate not-get-noticed check, I've missed it every time. 

And I'd expect such a check for other site actions--such as opening safes, messing with reactors, and opening cells--where I've also gotten charged every time, despite having Stealth 19, Disguise 13, and Security 12.  Sorry, Darvi, but I think we've had different experiences here.

I know you can get away with jury tampering if you don't get caught. Also, I think raiding the Conservative Media Establishments and taking over the broadcast only gets you accused of disturbing the peace or something like that. You'll need some good disguise or stealth to walk out, though.

[KA101]

True, and Disturbing The Peace is right up there with Vandalism in terms of (non-)seriousness (at least given how the judges read out the charges).

Problem is that neither jury-tampering nor media takeovers give Juice once one's at or over 200, so I can't recommend them for the upper-level people.

[Soadreqm]

Really? I thought media takeovers went higher. Yeah, that's no good, then.
