Mission Balance Thread - Uplink OS mod for Uplink - Trust is a Weakness

Well, I was trying the ARC final mission and I failed spectacularly due to my devices limitations so I tried it on my home PC. I failed again, this time I actually managed to do some damage but I couldn't understand why I failed so badly. So I went looking for advice and saw someone had put that Revelation v1 was much more effective than Revelation v2 (the one you are given by ARC for the mission, can't remember the version number) and that the only way to do it is to put it on each server before you get the mission. I haven't tested it myself yet; has anyone else tried this? If the info is correct then in my eyes that make no logical sense. In my opinion, Rev v1 should never be more effective than later versions of it.

What does everyone else think? Should this mission be changed to make it more balanced? What could be changed to make it more balanced?

I just want to say, please do not get me wrong. I don't want the mission to be easy, I want it to be an extremely tough mission. Or maybe I just don't understand how the mission works, either way, I feel like it is worthy of discussion.

ARC's final mission will cause you to lose even if you *are* successful. That's how that storyline goes.

The Revelation v1 strategy is, I'm pretty sure, referring to the final Arunmor mission. If you run Revelation v1 on the ARC Central Mainframe it'll shut down and not spread Revelation to nearby computers.

I know how ARC's final mission ends the game if you succeed. However I was disavowed both times. On my first try I knew it would happen, the device I was playing on wasn't very good and I had some heavy lag in game meaning by the time I had hacked the next computer they have already used faith on the previous one. However I did some good damage on my home PC when I attempted the mission but I still failed.

The revelation v1 strategy for the ARC side of the mission is different, I saw someone doing it on vanilla uplink and I saw forums saying about revelation v1 being better than revelation v2 since it lasts longer before getting stopped by faith or something along them lines.

Honestly though, Arunmor's final mission is too easy even without the revelation v1 startegy.
