Current behaviour is we only buy Stanek's gift immediately before ascending the first time. Assumptions here were:
The 10% penalty to all stats of accepting was harsh
Start of BN ram available would not be enough to charge Stanek's gift enough to overcome the initial penalty in a reasonable amount of time,
In BN12.115, this is definitely not true. Here were our multipliers immediately before buying Stanek a few minutes in:
And here they are immediately after, from just a few seconds of charging:
The only stat that took a hit was hacking chance, everything else seems significantly improved.
This won't be true for all BNs, especially during normal progression. I should really try to experiment on each BN in the order autopilot would seek to destroy them (after stanek is acquired) and see when it is and isn't a benefit.
My guess is it will have to do both with the Bitnode Multipliers "StaneksGiftPowerMultiplier", and the current size of the grid. If too small / low, it may continue to be best to wait until right before ascending, so that we can (hopefully) minimize the time with the penalty and can quickly purchase Awakening / Serenity and reduce the penalty in the next ascension. This too may need measuring. Perhaps the favor we get from earning reputation with CotMG throughout the first ascension would speed up reputation gain in the next enough to outweigh spending the BN with the 10% penalties.
