Yea I don't think the fortune augment is a good way to get RC at all. The fortune augment is a "secret" BBI agument you get after having cleared all of BBI, which you can only do at high level. This means you have to wait until the end of the game to get RC? On all my PTs I never even got the fortune augment.

Thing is that the active community that plays this game is high level right now because the amount of new players is really low. This means a low level pawn is far less likely to be hired now. I started a new game a few weeks back and my pawn didn't get hired until he was around level 100. That sucked.

Anyways I think (not 100% sure) after you've visited BBI and then come back to the main land all normal enemies start dropping larger amounts of RC. I noticed an increase in drops and larger amounts on my own PT. So that should be useful. Otherwise hiring is the best way to get RC.
