Havent reported what I done for a while now. Well I just put NEWSA back on after having a quick run on Zone Wars.
One feature I noticed on Zone Wars that im sure NEWSA doesn't have is that Bandits, Military, Mercs and so on appear in the STALKER rankings instead of Loners, Freedom and Duty. I asked Jamie if he knew how he actually did that and he didn't know. This happening actually surprised him. I can try and get a picture of the rankings to help if you need it. I wouldn't think it cause problems with NEWSA as it shouldn't affect much but I leave that to you smart modders
I havent got far still right now just wondering the Bar. A few Military appear now and then fighting Duty and Loners while I loot everything hoping for some kind of weapon to use against the helicopters that wonder around. Also I checked my PDA and Seriy appears to be at Agro with Mole (I am sure this happened in my last game when I ignored him and went to Agro first. It also spawns the Garbage helicopter into Agro).
Also a question. Is there any new news on NEWSA? Seeing missing or russian text in the news section that appears bothers me. I like having complete english. But this is only minor and no need to be worried about.
Back into the Zone I go and hope for no more body looting crashes.

Edit
Well I didnt get a corpse crash. But I will explain what happened.
After many intense battles of fighting all over the Bar against Military, Bandits, Zombies and Monolith I finally found a rocket launcher but not loaded. But as more battles happened there were more and more casulities for the Duty and Loners making Bar a much unfriendly place. After my latest victory against some great Monolith that ran into an ambush set by the surviving Duty I decided to take a break and go to the 100 Rads Bar to see what I can get a good deal on with the Barkeep.
I had my equipment ready for sale and as I was looking at what he had to offer I heard more shooting outside. I didnt think much of it and thought the guys outside could take care of it. I was sadly mistaken as the next moment everyone in the Bar went crazy and everything happened so fast I couldnt tell what was going on. I saw some Loners quickly run into the back area of the Bar and I quickly followed. I had no idea who was attacking but I knew I had to put a bullet in them fast. The Loners stood no chance as i had failed tasks come up from the quest givers dying. With Snitch leading a counter-attack we slowly moved to the front killing the enemy that ventured to the other side to see what he could find. The others took cover on the front door while I went over to check who was attacking. But as soon as I get to the corpse I get another task failed of killing another master stalker. Realising that was Snitch's quest I quickly turn around to see the Loners retreating back to the back of the Bar and more enemies appearing at the front. I quickly took cover by the counter as it was the only thing I could do. It was no good as I was shot in the head and I went down. As I watched in horror at the game over I watched the action to see if the Loners could stand any chance at all. Well I saw another Loner get shot in the face and it appeared to be another quest giver. But as soon as that happened my game crashed with no fatal error.
This was at the bottom of the log:

I was a fool to think the surviving Duty could take care of the problem. As soon as I find out who did this to the Bar I will hunt every single member down!
But that be an exciting story to look forward to later
P.S: I think it could be Bandits as they seemed to sort of look like them and the visual error at bottom of the log makes me think it was them too.
