Level Structure

Commanders start at level 1 with their default weapon and the Vanguard economy module. Maximum level is 7.

At each level, choose one Weapon Module to add or upgrade and two System Modules to add or upgrade.

Weapon Modules

Weapon upgrades are *not* mutually exclusive. (Optional: Choose at most 2 upgrades per weapon.)

Not all of the weapon options are meant to be exciting. Many of them functionally replace Damage Booster and Advanced Targeting System.

System Modules

Having acquired a module you can then choose which of the two upgrade paths to follow.

For example:

At level 2, we can choose any two of the seven modules. Choose Sensor Suite and Ablative Armor.

At level 3, we can do any two of:

* upgrade Sensor Suite to Area Jammer or Drone Director
* upgrade Ablative Armor to High Density Plating or Photovoltaic Plating
* add a new module
* add a new module

Say we upgrade to Drone Director and add High Power Servos. At level 4 we can do any two of:

* upgrade Drone Director to Drone Director +, which controls more drones
* upgrade Ablative Armor to High Density Plating or Photovoltaic Plating
* upgrade High Power Servos to Spider Legs or Tank Chassis
* add a new module
* add a new module
