Commander

85.70.133.123: /* Stackable */

<div style="float:right;">__TOC__</div>
= Commander intro =
Your commander can be configured with a variety of modules to suit your play-style.

After the update, modules are added only at the game and are all unlocked, and you do not need to level up to get any modules.

To keep the game balanced commander modules cost metal ingame and are not all applied at the start of the game. Commanders start at level 1 with a free peashooter and no modules but they can morph an unlimited number of times (but you'll eventually run out of modules after which it is pointless to morph). At Morph 1 (Level 2), commanders gain a single weapon. At morph 3 commanders gain a second weapon which can either be a second regular weapon or a special weapon. If a weapon slot is left empty the commander will be given a free peashooter in its place. Some weapons will replace any other weapons (e.g I get shock rifle, it will replace the first weapon I got)

Each morph level gives a commander more health, more modules or weapons. Morphs have a base cost and additional cost based on the value of the modules or weapons that it will gain when the morph is complete. You can pre-configure your commander buildouts only through level 6 but you can upgrade any number of times in-game.

Unlike regular units, your commander is not disabled while morphing.

= Modules and weapons =

== Number of slots per level ==

Commanders start at level 1. The number of modules and weapons increases with levels.

{|
! Commander level !! 1 !! 2 !! 3 !! 4 !! 5 !! +
|-
| Base [[File:Ibeam.png|20px]] cost || -     ||25 || 100 || 600 || 200 || +100

|-
| Total Weapon slots || 0 || 1 || 1 || 2 || 2 || +0
|-
| Total Module slots || 0 || 1 || 3 || 5 || 8 || +3
|-
|}

Equipping weapons and modules costs additional metal. Morph time is partly dependant on the metal cost.

== Module types ==
Modules have cyan names in the unlock list, although their icon color depends on their nature. They fall into four categories.

=== Stackable ===
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/module_ablative_armor.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/module_autorepair.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/module_high_power_servos.png

These modules are able to be stacked up to 8 times. Stacking them repeatedly will create a powerful commander, even though their bonuses as quite minor. These are cyan.
This type of module is the one that should be used the most, and because of their versatility, it is useful if you intend on getting commanders which do many things, or a single buff commander that is fast, invisible and deals lots of damage. Some of these modules will subtract speed or HP, and should be used with caution as too much will leave the commander a sitting duck.

Support modules are not stackable. They can provide large expensive bonuses such as a shield, cloaking, jamming or a cloaking field. These are cyan as well.

These modules are expensive but give a large bonus to a few specific weapons but can only be applied once. They require a level 2 commander. They are a space effective way to spend a module slot but make sure you have the weapon that they affect. They are purple.

== Weapon types ==
There are 2 types of weapon, special and normal. Both weapon types are affected by the stackable range and damage modules. Weapon names are in red.

=== Normal ===
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/commweapon_beamlaser.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/commweapon_rocketlauncher.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/commweapon_gaussrifle.png

These are auto-targetting normal weapons that behave the same was as any other unit. They can be affected by weapon boosters and weapon converters given that it is the right weapon. They are all affected by stackable modules. They are red.

Special weapons have a long reload time and must be manually aimed with the 'D' key. They are only affected by stackable modules. They are orange and can only be put on the level 4 weapon slot.

= Commander Chassis =
There are 4 types of commander chassis to choose for a battle.

You can configure custom commanders based on these chassis on your user page; you must be logged in to the Zero-K website and go to: https://zero-k.info/My/Commanders. These custom commanders may be selected at the beginning of the game in multiplayer matches. You will still need to upgrade them as usual, but the upgrade options are filled in to your preferences.

== Common attributes ==
The commander you start the game with produces 4 metal and 6 energy per second, via a unique Vanguard economy module. Any resurrected commanders who have lost this module produce only 0.4 metal and 0.4 energy per second. They all provide a sight distance of 500 and a sonar of 500. All have a base regen of 5 hp/s. Chassis other than the Engineer Commander have 10 build power and 144 build range while the Engineer commander gains build power and range with levels and has base 220 build range.

== Chassis list ==
Note that '''attributes on level 1 and level 2 are equal'''. Morphing to level 2 provides no bonus other than the weapon and module slot.

=== Strike Commander ===
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/commstrike.png

=== Guardian Commander ===
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/commassault.png

* Fewer direct damage weapons

= Exact effects of attribute modifiers =
Attribute modifiers are applied in this order:
* Commander Chassis absolute statistics
* Percentage modifiers both from modules and chassis
* Absolute modifiers

Percentage modifiers from commanders and stackable modules are additive, not cumulative. Five +10% speed modules multiply a commander's speed by 1.5 instead of by 1.1^5 = 1.61.

Percentage modifiers from weapon boosters and converters are cumulative and applied before other percentage modifiers. Think of them as changing the intrinsic stats of the weapon, rather than adding a bonus.

This type of module is the one that should be used the most, and because of their versatility, it is useful if you intend on getting commanders which do many things, or a single buff commander that is fast, invisible and deals lots of damage. Some of these modules will subtract speed or HP, and should be used with caution as too much will leave the commander a sitting duck.

These modules are expensive but give a large bonus to a few specific weapons but can only be applied once. They require a level 2 commander. They are a space effective way to spend a module slot but make sure you have the weapon that they affect. They are purple.

== Weapon types ==
There are 2 types of weapon, special and normal. Both weapon types are affected by the stackable range and damage modules. Weapon names are in red.

=== Normal ===
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/commweapon_beamlaser.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/commweapon_rocketlauncher.png https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZeroK-RTS/Zero-K/master/unitpics/commweapon_gaussrifle.png

These are auto-targetting normal weapons that behave the same was as any other unit. They can be affected by weapon boosters and weapon converters given that it is the right weapon. They are all affected by stackable modules. They are red.

Special weapons have a long reload time and must be manually aimed with the 'D' key. They are only affected by stackable modules. They are orange and can only be put on the level 4 weapon slot.

= Commander Chassis =
There are 4 types of commander chassis to choose for a battle.

You can configure custom commanders based on these chassis on your user page; you must be logged in to the Zero-K website and go to: https://zero-k.info/My/Commanders. These custom commanders may be selected at the beginning of the game in multiplayer matches. You will still need to upgrade them as usual, but the upgrade options are filled in to your preferences.

== Common attributes ==
The commander you start the game with produces 4 metal and 6 energy per second, via a unique Vanguard economy module. Any resurrected commanders who have lost this module produce only 0.4 metal and 0.4 energy per second. They all provide a sight distance of 500 and a sonar of 500. All have a base regen of 5 hp/s. Chassis other than the Engineer Commander have 10 build power and 144 build range while the Engineer commander gains build power and range with levels and has base 220 build range.

== Chassis list ==
Note that '''attributes on level 1 and level 2 are equal'''. Morphing to level 2 provides no bonus other than the weapon and module slot.

=== Strike Commander ===

= Exact effects of attribute modifiers =
Attribute modifiers are applied in this order:
* Commander Chassis absolute statistics
* Percentage modifiers both from modules and chassis
* Absolute modifiers

Percentage modifiers from commanders and stackable modules are additive, not cumulative. Five +10% speed modules multiply a commander's speed by 1.5 instead of by 1.1^5 = 1.61.

Percentage modifiers from weapon boosters and converters are cumulative and applied before other percentage modifiers. Think of them as changing the intrinsic stats of the weapon, rather than adding a bonus.

}}==Description==
The Flea can hide in inaccessible locations where its sophisticated sensor suite allows it to see further than it can be seen. It can be used in small groups to effectively raid mexes early on, and in maps with tall cliffs can attack from unexpected angles. It does very little damage and dies to any form of opposition.

== Tactics and Strategy ==
Although they typically lose out against more combat-worthy raiders like [[Glaive]]s and [[Scorcher]]s, Fleas, like other cheap scout units, excel at taking down anti-heavy units like [[Lance]]s and [[Phantom]]s (even being cheap enough to affordably locate the cloaked sniper units) due to how much overkill those units' weapons do against the tiny Fleas. Should they lack modest anti-swarm escorts, even heavy units like [[Grizzly|Grizzlies]], [[Cyclops]]es, and even [[Paladin]]s will easily fall prey to masses of Fleas, with less cost spent on the Fleas than on the heavy units.
