NCPD is now a real deal, you commit a crime ? You get a bounty for a good time and Night City will react organically in a realistic way.

Known issues :

Sleeping to lose stars don't work at Megabuiding H10. Megabuilding H10 behave not normally, losing star in this area can stuck the wanted level. Save and load to lose the stars and reset the system.
Disable the mod in those two quests to prevent being stuck with wanted stars :
-Rebel! Rebel!
-Spider and the Fly



HOW IT WORKS : 


Focused on the heat levels, crime score and evading method, this mod enable you to experience a more realistic prevention system
Each district will react differently based on the lore of the game
Each wanted star is more balanced



About Crime score :
Spoiler:  
Show

Crime score is the score the player need to reach the next star. It has a buffer timer for each wanted level. During this timer the score goes up based on player actions. If player does not attack the prevention characters, the score is reset when the timer is over. Each time the player attack a prevention character, the timer trigger again.
For example, using Fugitive Edition, having two wanted stars and killing two NCPD officers each five minutes will not give the player a third star. But staying in the same place and killing each incoming officer will rapidly trigger the third star.


Fighting the prevention system has been rebalanced. Using grenades, firing weapon at prevention characters add a lot of score to the crime score.
Using melee weapons add less score to crime score. It's good to take in consideration. That mean, firing a weapon at a prevention character will immediately trigger two wanted stars. While beating them with a melee weapon can let you stay at first star.

An other example of melee weapon scoring is that at first wanted star, NCPDPPE feature melee NCPD officers (in certain districts). That allow the player that have only one star to flee on foot, and if he want to fight the prevention without going instantly to second star, the player can use a melee weapon.



About Districts and areas :

Here are some non exhaustive changes that NCPDPPE made to districts :
Spoiler:  
Show
-CITY CENTER :
NCPD area
City Center have nice police (Villefort Cortes) cars responding to crime, they have a normal dispatch time, and a normal rate of reinforcement. In some case units on foot are dispatch (really rare).

-NORTHSIDE :
NCPD area
Northside have more powerful and aggressive response. Officer are heavy armored, don't use melee weapon at first star, and are two officers by car. They use the Archer hella as it is a more dangerous area.

-BIOTECHNICA :
Automated area
Biotechnica is under Artificial Intelligence jurisdiction. Player will fight drones and aggressive robots.

-NORTH OAKS :
Private Security and NCPD area
NorthOaks feature a private security service for the first three wanted stars. Then NCPD join the fight.

-JAPANTOWN :
TygerClaw and NCPD area
JAPANTOWN feature on foot and on bike Tygerclaws for the first two wanted stars. Then NCPD join the fight.

-RANCHO CORONADO :
NCPD area
Rancho Coronado feature a sheriff and a shotgun officer.

-PACIFICA :
Mercenaries area
Pacifica won't trigger any prevention units until third wanted star. Then only on foot mercenaries will come at third and fourth stars. At five stars, Max tac and terminators cars will come.

-BADLANDS :
Militech area
Badland won't trigger any prevention unit until second wanted star. Then drone and Militech will come.



THREE DIVERSE TIMERS :

Note that the countdown begin when the police lost you (grey stars). If they see you again, countdown is reset. All values are in real time, some seconds is added or lowered, depending of the things you are doing. If you want to escape faster, go to sleep at your apartment. 

ARCADE escaping time :

1 Star : ~2.40 minutes
2 Stars: ~2.50 minutes
3 Stars : ~3.35 minutes
4 Stars : ~4.00 minutes
5 stars : ~4.30 minutes


HARD TIMER escaping time :

1 Star : ~7.20 minutes
2 Stars: ~10.20 minutes
3 Stars : ~13.20 minutes
4 Stars : ~15.30 minutes
5 stars : ~18.30 minutes


FUGITIVE EDITION escaping time :

Fugitive Edition is designed to experience a long prevention response time in a big city like Night City, allowing the player to continue playing as a fugitive while being chased at each wanted level. Experiencing Night City bigger than ever.
It drastically increase the time between prevention vehicle spawn, prevention response, and escape timer. Escape Timer is now from 
30 to 70 minutes. Prevention system will drop really few cars if they don't find the player. But staying at the same place will increase the risk of prevention to come.
Yes it will feel more easy. But it fell more giant, the city appear to be enormous. 
This mod allow you to play normally at max wanted level too, instead of being constantly attacked. It completely change the prevention reaction of the whole city. 



Notes :
Spoiler:  
Show

About JapanTown, if you want to have already spawned Tyger Claws reacting well with Prevention spawned Tyger Claws, you will need Night City Alive.
Why ? Night City Alive take care of all relationship trough Night City. Without this, already spawned Tygers can be aggressive with prevention spawned Tygers. With NCA, they will help each others. 

Also, Night City Alive provided an optional file called "Sensitive Prevention" that trigger wanted star if player is involved in messy firefights, for those who want a more intrusive prevention system.
