Great overview!

I find the key right now is managing the timing of your Claims and Attacks. Unless you want to ape into what I consider to be overpriced $SCRAP on the market, the fastest way to acquire $SCRAP seems to be Attacking juicy targets and making sure you do that when you have "claim room" to store your ill gotten gains ;)

Also thanks for surfacing the Favor code! Everyone joining should note the 0 Favor penalty and put in at least 0.01 or something. Though I can imagine the dynamics will get more complex as the game evolves.
