Level Structure

Commanders start at level 1 with their default weapon. At level 2 they get to choose two modifications; at all subsequent levels they get three.

The types of modification are:

Primary Weapon, consuming one weapon slot

Secondary Weapon, consuming one weapon slot

Upgraded Weapon, consuming two weapon slots (possibly should require two modification slots as well?)

Module, with individual limits on quantity

Weapon Aug, requiring a specific weapon to be previously or concurrently selected

Minor Subsystem, consuming one subsystem slot

Major Subsystem, consuming one subsystem slot

Weapon Slots: Start with one, second is unlocked at level 4. The starting slot cannot be filled by a secondary weapon. <Can the level-4 slot be filled by a primary weapon?>

Subsystem Slots: Unlocked at level 3, 5 and 7. The level 3 slot cannot be filled by a major subsystem.
