Drog Black Tooth Stop wasting time on these half-assed fixes. You know what must be fixed to escalate Arcanum into decent combat territory.

1) If possible, remove real time mode altogether, making turn-based mandatory.
2) Have combat start the moment enemy aggros, similar to Fallout 1/2. By default, the combat starts only when you manually start it or when the enemy is attacking, which either disadvantages ranged attackers or forces a real time component into turn based combat (making the player quickly initiate combat manually).
3) Combat balance changes: Nerf retarded spells (Disintegrate, Harm, Mass Stasis, etc) to where they actually work, make throwing cost Action Points, nerf melee attacks, buff guns. Change enemy immunities, eg golems. Balance combat values to encourage and reward cc, spell/ability/weapon variety, and tactics.
4) Make fewer sensational statements to allow more time for the steps above.

There is a mod for the UAP that does most of what you are stating called Equilibrium. I was impressed when I played it with combat and all the changes he made (pretty significant changes to magic and all combat related stuff) but I can't get Arcanum to work right and the farther I get into it the more issues come up. Crashes all the time, everyone (even my party) aggros me when I reload. Save scuming to pick pockets is impossible, etc. If you are running a system and OS that can handle Arcanum well try it out - I'm pretty sure you'll like it.
