1) Revelation (more important)
How do I actually get these missions? I received the email from that agent, but the entire Revelation stuff went past me without me being able to do anything. I searched through all kind of Arunmor and ARC servers, but didn't find anything important, neither Revelation or Faith. Then some ARC guy got arrested, a news about Revelation rampaging appeared and since then it's Faith: 2.2, Revelation: 3.0 and nothing new about the case. I let a few months pass, but nothing happened.
Uplink becomes quite boring after some time, when you have nothing new. I emptied about every account and have millions on my account, but where's the point when there's nothing more to buy?

2) Strange tracking
Tracking is acting strange recently. Once it started when I just connected to a ISM, although I didn't even start to hack. Perhaps it was because I killed it shortly before and it was just revived, but I'm not sure.
At another time, it didn't start at all, although I hacked and I had no bypass or anything active.
The best thing was when a bank (not Uplink Bank) started tracking me down when I accessed an account that actually belonged to me.
Behavior like this never occured before. Anyone has an idea what's going on?
I installed the Uplink Mod, but I don't think it's because of that. It just changes graphics and music, but nothing else.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the first one, but...
Tracking right after connecting to ISM: Possibly because it had been hacked before, like you said.
No tracking: Some servers (Such as InterNIC) do not have monitors and do not track at all.
Bank Tracking: If you recently hacked the bank, when you connect to it it will start tracking you, even if it's just to access your own account. Delete your logs off your first bounce machine FAST, don't get passively traced.

No tracking: it was an ISM (Internal Service Machine), not InterNIC or any other “harmless” server. They had a mon.
I use InterNIC for first bounce and delete the logs after each hack. Sometimes I still got passive tracked. The only thing I changed is that I no more remove the log that said when I logged on.
Is the game really that clever that it notices when there's a “connection terminated” log but no “connection established” log?
I sometimes really wonder how clever the game actually is. I mean, if I change the IP of a log that proves me hacking into a system to an IP of someone else (private comp or something) would this person be arrested then? That would be cool. I remember once I authorized my own arrest. Nothing happened, except a News that said a hacker named PLAYER was arrested for computer crimes (actually framed myself with murder two times) In the Rank it said I'm “In Jail”, but I could still continue hacking, I even became #1.

Okay, I think Q1 is solved. I need to hack into the ARC Central Main Frame after I received the email of that agent in order to get involved.
