Certain combinations of weapons and modules (especially Dgun and Jump) are quite problematic. The existing commander system deals with this through chassis. A future system could address the issue with chassis (potentially requires lots of models), arbitrary exclusion pairs (messy) or chassis-like exclusion patterns. The following uses the third option but could be easily modified to be like the first.

Having acquired a module you can then choose which of the two upgrade paths to follow.
+
Each System Module may be upgraded once, so the upgrade options are either/or. (Optional: Add further upgrades to some/all modules like Area Cloak/Shield.)
 
 
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 control more drones or have more vision/radar
 
* upgrade Ablative Armor to High Density Plating or Hull Down mode
 
* upgrade High Power Servos for more speed or buoyancy tanks
 
* add a new module
 
* add a new module
 
 
 
 
 
'''The Jumpjets, Nanolathe and Advanced Targeting module groups are mutually exclusive.''' A commander which takes the Jumpjets path is "Recon-type", a commander which takes the Nanolathe path is "Engineer-type" and a commander which takes the Advanced Targeting path is "Guardian-type".
