Ello folks, Been playing around on UC today and Im a bit confused by a few things.

What do the Police do exactly other than observe gunfights and get in the way of your Mercs ? has anyone else had that happen to them because its getting really irritating for me lol

Also wanted to ask - what purpose do the Gunrunners serve, I went to their stash at B14 but I can't buy any weapons ? Where can I get them for my team ?

And.. maybe it could be classed as a gripe but I cant get my head around the new combat system compared to the old JA2 or 1.13, it just seems really hit and miss for your mercs even with high marksmenship at near point blank range - is there any way to change it back ?

Hope to hear your thoughts on it.

FYI - I do really like the mod, especially the maps etc but I just can't fathom a few things.

Edit - Also wanted to ask after looking through the beta 1.13/UC thread, where can I download the beta to test it out please ? I couldnt find a download link.

IIRC the police are a neutral faction but will go hostile to you they see you at night.

Gun runners also hostile at night. Both police and gun runners once hostile always hostile except for the port kip police who are seperate entity. Those factions are there for atmosphere; more action; more drops; stuff to loot etc. I don't think it is a radically different combat system. You need to level up a bit to match the enemies "luck" that's all!

& you're in Leeds? Jeepin Lizard only 30 miles or so away from Sheffield. You must be the nearest JA-Head I've heard of!

:cheers:

Aye Im in Huddersfield, I put Leeds because most folks got no idea where it is, originally i'm from Lancaster so less of the Lancashire pisstakes Lockie ya cheeky sod ! lol

I've been playing UC some more and as much as I really like the ideas behind it I just cant take to it, the lack of weaponry all over the place is driving me insane and the enemy not dropping much is really annoying, but I guess after playing 1.13 I got used to all items dropping etc.

I think I'll wait for the UC/1.13 Hybrid to come out, that'll be fantastic fun for me Very Happy

Different mod makers like various ways of working towards their own vision of what a mod should be .Taking something from "this mod" and adding it to "that mod" while updating graphics , etc . makes us all keep on enjoying our game for longer . That said , I doubt I'll ever play the chinese gun mod , kerist , how many types of guns can you use before it gets tedious ? Have you tried scorpions RR mod ? Different locations and quests , it's at Beta stage , but very playable .
A very good mate came from Lancaster , when his dad was in army base near us , lost touch with him many years ago , big Everton fan. Huddersfield , oh dear , team a bit crap aren't they ? Very Happy
only kidding ........

lol Yeah Town aren't much cop in Footy but gotta give them props for trying at least.

I'm still really happy playing on 1.13 even though im on my 2nd time with it now - I just wish 1.13 was integrated with UC, Then I'd be playing that non stop but for the moment I think I'll just be leaving it be.

So where abouts in Jock land are you Lockie ?

Either your setup is wrong or you haven't hit the right sectors yet but UC is stuffed full of weaponry. Not the same as drop-all by any means but still more than enough for a full team of 18 by the end. It's a balance thing; drop all makes sense in 1.13 coz of the massive counter attacks; with out it you'd be up the creek. In other mods you don't need it and you have to change your strategy instead. Keeps you on your toes!

Back to the point, guys: WHERE can I download UC-mod 1.13 mix from? Even if it is beta, even if it is not finished, I still would like to give a try.

True I can understand that, but after playing 1.13 it'd be nice to have some of the ideas implemented into UC because at times you do get swarmed ie the Gangs in the Subways, some of the large Garrissons above ground etc.

It'd be a more alternative method to playing UC either way I think.

By the way - How on earth do you make money in UC ? I raided the Bank in Fort Kip before I put the game down but I never could get a more stable income flowing in.

Edit : Forgot to ask Will, are you a Student down in Sheffield or born and bred there mate ?

Hells teeth you make your own life hard! Get income from the crepaton plants... speak to head guy (make sure you speak to the fred morris guy first D13) at each plant.

Student? Ha ha ha. That was long time ago. I'm in my 40's. Got three kids and an expensive ex-wife. Not from Sheffield originally. Bloodlines almost all Isle of Wight as I've discovered recently. Grew up in the Oxfordshire/Cornwall/Kent & Essex. From the question I take it you are student? Have fun and don't marry your college sweetheart; I did and look where it got me!

lol I was a Student, went to College for my A Levels because I left school at 16 to go out and work [Im 23 now], was offered a few placements at Universities but turned it down, just isnt the life for me to be truthful with you. Im in the process of applying to the Army at the moment but have to wait and see how that pans out first [ Medical and all the mountains of paperwork for you]

Ex Wife eh ? Shame you can't do a Brewster with his missus the Warden at Tixa rofl.

Do you use MSN by the way mate ?
