The ability to send e-mails

[Ozymandias IV]

I think that if there is another Uplink, however unlikely, they should allow your e-mails to go through.  Like on the Public Access servers you can get the e-mail of the admin, and then you should be able to actually e-mail him, but no e-mails ever go through.  This would also be useful in the storyline where in the section of UISS called Faith progress, Uplink asks you to send them info regarding Revelation.  You should be able to send them an e-mail with revelation attatched.  This might require too much coding but I doubt it.  I know that someone's going to say "why don't you get the DevCD and code it for yourself." I would, except I use a Mac, and the DevCD is for Windows only.

hmm actulay it wold requaire a lot of coding for the mail AI and search for words in the mail its very hard to code something like that

You could do it very easily, but it wouldn't feel very realistic or work very well.  Neuromance an '80's game actually has that feature, but to actually make it realistic would require a good deal of coding.  :)

Oh well, seems like all the best ideas require too much coding.

At the very least, though, things like sending Uplink a copy of revelation should be allowed. You send it, and maybe the level of infection in the last mission is lower due to Uplink agents.

hmm - that sounds good,

AI? Like when you reply to ARC like:
I'd like to join you. [EOF]
Results in joining ARC.
And:
Die f*****! I won't be like you!
Results in:
OK, You have been warned...

??? Or not?

AI only responds to certain question with a specific answer. It wouldn't remember anything so if you refuse the offer, ARC wouldn't even remember it when you ask them next time.

As for the email, it isn't broken, you can send email. You can claim 25000 credits from Arunmor while working for ARC by sending Revelation. But how it works is up to you...

Sounds like a worthy idea to me. Would involve a tremendous amount of coding, though. I doub't anyone has the time or want to do this.
