I have a question, I was just looking for a wealth system like the one form d20 modern. Is there plans for this in ultramodern 4e? if so this would get bumped even higher on my list.

Sorry...but personally, I never cared for the wealth system from D20. There are no plans to incorporate it into Ultramodern4

Fortunately I found that the way 4e treated wealth worked well for modern games as well. You basically handwave basic food and living expenses and treat their wealth as their disposable income. And since it doesn't make sense in most cases for them to find loot everywhere they go (well maybe if they are playing as criminals who rob everyone they come across), you can just hand out fixed amounts at set intervals as their paychecks. And when the story makes sense for them to come across a suitcase full of cash, you can let them. Personally, I found that the wealth system solved some problems, but just created more.

True, though I am running a military game and I want a requisition system like the d20 wealth system. Though I guess I could just use the high tech rules from foundations. their gear just unlocks as they level.

There is a system in Ultramodern4 for requisitions called load points, along with guidelines on how many load points to give out for an adventure.
