Turret defense and UPS look awesome.
On UPS:
I recommend you slow the player's speed down to about 2/3 or 1/2. Hitting other players with a melee weapon is hard because players move extremely fast in Quake and most of its mods. If you do this, add an upgrade players can buy to increase their speed (which will make axes very hard to use). So, a player can choose to buy a shotgun, and another player can choose to upgrade his speed -- one can shoot long range, the other can quickly close the gap to deal more damage with his axe. And with Darkplaces it's pretty easy to set player's speed and control/enhance their movement.
However, you may have a much better idea than I do about how you want your mod to work, do don't take this as a command from on high. It's just a suggestion. Anything that makes the axe easier to use helps a lot.
Cheers, and good luck!
