📋 About This Mod

Since I originally didn't plan to add this amount of things into these mods and I did them anyway, I may as well set up my page on Buy me a coffee. This page is free for me anyway :)

TLDR:

The NCPD doesn't care for a few citizens' death, so it's only natural they don't send reinforcement to the scene for "minor" crimes. NCPD and MaxTac now react differently based on the affluence of the district.

The mod tweaked the following things (configurable):

- minimum heat level for NCPD to send people

- number of NCPD to be spawned

- min distance to spawn NCPD

- maximum number of MaxTac AVs to arrive the scene

- heat level duration

1. NCPD & MaxTac New Behaviors:

In general, Night City is a hotbed of "crime" and NCPD has started to strive for Return on investment (RoI) after privatization in 2076, they just couldn't care for a few hit-and-runs or deaths due to "weapon malfunctions." Though when it is no longer a minor crime, the NCPD will head to the scene based on the district status! (Those poor dudes can't even afford to call the 911 anyway, haha.) Anyhow, the Night City Council has divided the Night City into 6 major districts and 16 sub-districts plus the Badlands outside of its jurisdiction, and this more or less is how the NCPD decides on their actual response.

City Center  ---------  Corpo Plaza and Downtown

Watson  --------------  Northside, Little China, Arasaka Waterfront, and Kabuki

Westbrook  -----------  North Oaks, Japan Town, and Charter Hill

Heywood  -------------  Wellsprings, The Glen, and Vista Del Rey

Santo Domingo  -------  Arroyo and Rancho Coronado

Pacifica  ------------  West Wind Estate, CoastView, Dogtown (two stages)

Badlands  ------------  Badlands

Each of these sub-districts has their own socioeconomic status:

North Oaks has some of the wealthiest residents throughout Night City; Japan town and Charter Hills are home of those who make banks; and City Center is the heart of Night City. These districts, among a few others, have the tightest security to secure the eddie flow from the City to the Corpo. The City does not hesitate to hire MaxTac to eliminate any threats!

Yet, once we exit these wealthy sub-districts, like if we leave Corpo Plaza to Vista Del Rev, and eventually enter Arroyo, we can easily notice the economy of our view deteriorates quickly. NCPD doesn't want to handle crimes in these areas unless it gets ugly. If you see NCPD officers around these districts, they are probably up to their own corrupted businesses for some extra eddies. Of course, since these poor and inconsequential sub-district are still unfortun
