Uplink Hints
What security should I buy?
1 of 4: The funny part about the security systems in your Gateway is that the other is pretty much useless without the other.
2 of 4: If you don't have a Motion Sensor, you won't know when Federal Agents come a' knocking, and if you don't have a Nuke, you'll just have to hope the red line is the nice guy who came to install your new hardware and bugged the game. If not, you're busted.
3 of 4: Thus, don't bother buying any security unless you have at least two such slots in your Gateway. Buy one nuke and as many Motion Sensors as you can fit.
4 of 4: Remember to keep an active Motion Sensor application open all the time.
