UC POLICE

This mod adds a new Uniform to UCSEC. It goes for a less armoured, more formal look, it is meant to look like old Earth Police uniforms, whilst keeping the futuristic aesthetics of the UC. Outfits are added to security on New Atlantis and New Homestead.

I love the base game UC security outfit, but it feels a bit overkill for some of the settlements. New Atlantis is the Utopia of the future and has little crime (Outside the Well). As such, it makes sense that the security would wear more formal uniforms in areas where they are at little risk of getting into a firefight.

How to obtain

A new dungeon has been added where you can obtain the new outfits. Go to the New Atlantis Security Office and look for a door to the basement. You will need the key, which is located in an office at the end of the hall on the right. (UCSEC will become hostile if they see you take the key, so watch out). The cameras in the basement are down for maintenance (So anything you do in the basement will not incur a bounty), but UC Security has a robot patrolling that will shoot trespassers on sight. Sneak past the robot or destroy it. The uniforms are locked up in the evidence lock-up, so bring some digipicks. Location should take 5-10 minutes to complete, the location was made with stealth in mind.

Who wears the new outfits?

Security in New Atlantis will now wear the new Armour in dark blue, this color matches the base game UCSEC uniform. Sgt Yumi now wears the same uniform in light blue with rolled-up sleeves. The woman at the entrance to MAST now wears the new uniform with no hat, and the Leader of the UC Security Chief Sarkin wears a unique variant with white sleeves, the white variant can be found in the evidence lock-up cage inside the new location.

Guards in the Museum under MAST also wear the new outfit and hat. The guards at the spaceport are unchanged, as the heavier armor makes sense for security at the spaceport.

The well is also unchanged; the guards wear their base game uniform as the Well is more dangerous than ground level New Atlantis, and it makes sense for the guards there to wear heavier armor.

Guards at New Homestead now wear a version of the uniform, which is light blue with a white hat, imitating the look of old Earth Police officers. New Homestead prides itself on keeping the culture and spirit of Earth alive, so I believe it makes sense for them to wear a more retro looking Police uniform.

Gagarin and Cydonia are unchanged except for Pretorius on Gagarin and Booth on Cydonia, who receive variants of the new uniform.

The Spacestaions in UC space, such as The Den and Deimos Staryard are unchanged.

The reason these cities and space stations are unchanged is because they are in locations that are dangerous or remote, and so it makes sense that the Security there would have a more practical, less formal uniform.

Important Note.

As with any mod which alters NPC clothing, this mod will not affect NPCs who have already loaded in. As such, this mod works best on a new save or on a unity jump; otherwise, only characters who have not been loaded will be affected.

Other minor additions

While poking around in the kit, I realized that the ECS constant guards use the same voice type as UCSEC, which allowed me to input their face list directly into the UCSEC face list, doubling its size with no additional storage space requirements. With this mod installed, UCSEC will have more variety in faces, even those who do not have the new outfit.

Compatibility.

It should work for any mod adding to New Atlantis, but it depends on whether or not the mod author used New Atlantis Guards or UC security guards. If the mod author uses New Atlantis guards then the guards in their mod will wear the outfit, if they use UC security guards than the guards will wear the base game outfit.

I have only tested it with Falkland systems and the guards at the new location wear the new outfit.
