    My idea would take quite some work, but I find something this great would be worth it!

    A 3D Onlink, not just Onlink, but all of Uplink!

    Make your Gateway set of cubes orbiting the main Gateway, (those cubes being a fire wall or security) and have lines running from it. When an IP is connected, you should be fed through the link to the IP, and have all the security systems, cracks, weaknesses and strengths visable after a quick scan or 2 with new software. Like In Ghost In a Shell: Stand Alone Complex. That style, but very hard to get, let's say.... you can only obtain this upgrade through an extremely tough mission!

    Other Ideas that have probably been said include:

    1. Other punishments instead of losing your account, like massive fines, or blackmail and being forced to do missions.

    2. Being able to slow a trace by other means, such as a fake connection to another system prior to your connection to fool your opponent, OR a slowtrace program.

    3. Testing Onlink with the fully payed-for downloaded version of Uplink

    4. Having the ability to create software from a base, and adding to it, same with viruses

    etc... etc... more to come.

    Hell no.


    Uplink was originally going to be 3D, but Introversion abandoned the idea because it required way too much work, required artists and generally didn't suit the game.

    Sorry, but there is no way it's going 3D. It was tried. It failed. It won't work.

    Besides, what t he point? It works fine this way.And a 3D interface would be needless extra clutter. And need a new engine, probably.
