There are no corp ladder connectors yet, so no real advantage to work them except that each has some interesting people in their VIP rooms that you may want to buy things from. Some of them need a certain rep before they will talk with you.
KH also has no ladder yet. But to get to use their Thopters is cool. You can take escort mission cargo ina Thopter, unlike a taxi.
Streets doesn't have a ladder connector either.
Los V, Fennian, Blue Ox and Fennian have ladder connectors. You get rewards from people as you go up their ladders.
Right now there isn't enough story (yet) for it to make much difference whom you get friendly with, except for the Thopters.

Bravestar is also useful because you can get a pass for the gate in the wall that divides NBZ.

S Cava saint for the Irish(fennians).kass bad-eye for the Los vals.I haven't worked with the psycho blue ox paratroopers yet so don't know about them.cavalry requires that you have a set amount of Rep with the fennians,so do some gopher work for their connectors before you call him.

So by climbing Cava's ladder you mean only take jobs from him or the Fennians in general?

Cava is basically a gang boss?the only advantages besides the obvious Rep gain,is the rewards.normal connectors just pay you in credits,but ladder connectors give gifts as well as credits.do jobs in fennian territory until you have a little Rep.go into a VIP lounge and find a girl..don't remember her name.she will give you his v-chip.you need good Rep with fennisn or he wont give you any work.that's it.

Bravestar is also useful because you can get a pass for the gate in the wall that divides NBZ. They are a lovely faction for many reasons besides that.don't forget that they have the best martial artist runners,and they are one of the few clans that give out data courier jobs.don't piss them off they are good people,but there soldiers will murder you quick.

So by climbing Cava's ladder you mean only take jobs from him or the Fennians in general? You don't have to take any jobs from Cava to climb his ladder. All he cares about is your Fennian rep increase, not the jobs he personally has. So I tend to take jobs from the Wet Bar and the Southie Church of Saint Patrick up the east coast. If Cava wants something done in that region, well I phone him when I am there and do that job as well. Otherwise, I find his missions to be a bit too 'all over the map' to be really interesting. So I periodically phone Cava, see if he wants to give me a reward, and see if he has any close by jobs he wants done.

What kind of gifts does Cava give out? Who are the Persona Fixers that give martial artists and where do we go to ips? What are all the different types of runners?

The best one, if you are playing simple NBZ sandbox and not Made not Born is the taxi chip of a driver that will drive into heat for you. But it comes early in his ladder, so when Made not Born joins his ladder he joins at a rung too high to get this. Kris Heart at Brave Star and Sergeant Commence at Mars have Martial Artists. As runners we have 2 kinds of Cyberswords (martial artist and stick user), Gunslingers, Snipers, Faces, Agent Xes, and Hackers.

mikelrysk - most ladder connectors give our 4-5 gifts as you climb in Reputation for their faction. Definitely worth remembering you dont' have to take -their- jobs, they just care about your Faction Rep.
