Level Structure

Commanders start at level 1 and can morph to level 7. New slots are unlocked at each level.

Level 2	Primary Weapon	Module
Level 3	Subsystem	Module
Level 4	Secondary/Upgraded Weapon	Module	Module
Level 5	Subsystem	Module	Module
Level 6	Subsystem	Module	Module
Level 7	Module	Module	Module

Modules

In each Module slot the commander adds one of the following modules, up to the stated maximum:

• Ablative Armor Plates (max 6): Increases HP
• High Power Servos (max 6): Increases move speed
• CarRepairer's Nanolathe (max 6): Increases build power
• Damage Booster (max 6): Increases damage
• Companion Drone (max 6): Adds drone
• Field Radar Module (max 1): Adds radar

Weapons

At Level 2:

• Every commander gets a Primary weapon.

At Level 4:

• Strike and Guardian commanders choose between a second Primary weapon or a Secondary weapon.
• Support and Recon commanders choose between replacing their first weapon (if applicable) with an Upgraded weapon, or a Secondary weapon.

Subsystems

Each chassis has a selection of Minor and Major Subsystems, to be chosen in the Subsystem slots. Major subsystems cannot be chosen before level 5.

(Limit one Major subsystem overall? Not sure if necessary.)

Chassis Description

Chassis	Primary Weapons	Secondary/Upgraded Weapons	Minor Subsystems	Major Subsystems
Strike	Lightning Gun Beam Laser Electron Jet Scatter Beam	Multistunner Disintegrator Gun Terrabomb	Flux Amplifier Mobius System P-V Plating Personal Shield Personal Cloak	Run Your Boi System Reboot (Lazarus Device)
Engineer	Light Particle Beam Beam Laser Scatter Beam Missile Launcher	Heavy Particle Beam (from LPB) Disruptor Bomb Terrabomb	Disruptor Ammo Lazarus Device Dual-Phase Lathe ELINT Handler	Disruptor Drones Pocket Genie (Personal Shield)
Guardian	Rocket Launcher Riot Cannon Shotgun Missile Launcher	Cluster Bomb S.L.A.M. Hellfire Grenade	Napalm Warheads Vanguard Deployment High-Density Plating Advanced Targeting System	Assault Drones Anchoring System (Personal Cloak)
Recon	Flamethrower Heavy Machine Gun Shotgun Railgun	Heat Ray (from Flamethrower) Concussion Shell Hellfire Grenade	Dispersion Device Personal Cloak Jump Booster Sensor Suite	Augmented Hydraulics ??? (Vanguard Deployment)

Weapons Listing

Weapons not listed are not fundamentally changed.

• Heat Ray should be really strong.
• Terrabomb does some terraform thing like a Quake.
• Electron Jet is similar to Flamethower, with aesthetics that make Flux Amplifier make sense.
• Scatter Beam is a beam shotgun as in Trisula.
• Railgun has similar characteristics to LPB: longer range but less damage than other hitscan-esque weapons
• Change Engineer Beam Laser to a Buoy-like weapon?

Subsystems Listing

Strike

• Flux Amplifier - Beam laser, Disintegrator, Terrabomb, Electron Jet: Range increase. Lightning Rifle, Multistunner: Short range increase + EMP increase. Scatter beam: Short range increase + tighter spread
• Feedback Loop - Increase HP regen. Nanolathes increase HP regen more.
• P-V Plating - Increased movespeed and turn speed. Ablatives give Energy income.
• Personal Shield - Incompatible with Personal Cloak
• Personal Cloak - Incompatible with Personal Shield
• Run Your Boi - Small HP increase; Commander runs faster (proportional to Servos) when damaged.
• System Reboot - Remove status effects. Details TBD.

Engineer

• Disruptor Ammo - Add slow damage to LPB/beam/scatter/HPB/terrabomb, increase slow damage of Disruptor Bomb
• Lazarus Device
• Dual-Phase Lathe - small BP increase, Nanolathes increase build radius
• ELINT Handler - cheap area jammer, large increase to radar module
• Disruptor Drones - add a Viper; every drone module (besides the first?) gives a Viper as well
• Pocket Genie - Djinn sidearm

Guardian

• Napalm Warheads
• Vanguard Deployment - Deploy resource generator, small HP regen increase
• High-Density Plating - small HP increase, Ablatives give additional HP
• Advanced Targeting - small range increase, increased range for each damage booster
• Assault Drones - add some other drone; every drone module (besides the first?) gives some other drone as well
• Anchoring Module - Reduced damage when stationary

Recon

• Dispersion Device - Increased AoE on all weapons
• Personal Cloak
• Jump Booster - Decreased jump cooldown, damage on landing scales with Damage Booster
• Sensor Array - Increased vision radius, large radar increase if present
• Augmented Hydraulics - Small speed increase; Servos increase weapons range (Shotgun gets a lower range boost but lower spread)
•  ???

Speculative Quantification

Commander Stats

Note that HP/lvl only takes effect at level 3 and above.

Morph Costs: Level 2 - 50 Level 3 - 300 All subsequent levels - 500

Default: 128 build range, 5 HP/s combat repair

Strike: 3200 + 500/lvl HP, 10 HP/s combat repair Engineer: 3000 + 500/lvl HP, 180 build range Guardian: 3400 + 800/lvl HP Recon: 2750 + 500/lvl HP, Jump has 25s CD

Modules

All modules cost 50. (Could roll this into default morph cost.)

• Ablative Armor Plates (max 6): +600 HP
• High Power Servos (max 6): +4 elmo/s
• CarRepairer's Nanolathe (max 6): +5 BP
• Damage Booster (max 6): +10% weapon damage
• Companion Drone (max 6): Adds drone (???)
• Field Radar Module (max 1): Adds radar, 1800 radius

Weapons

All weapons cost 0.

TBD

Subsystems

All subsystems cost 0.
