General Comments
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.
Level Structure
Commanders start at level 1 with their default weapon (which will be replaced at level 2) and the Vanguard economy module. Maximum level is 7.
Level 2: Primary weapon and two modules Level 3: Two modules Level 4: Weapon and two modules Level 5: Two modules Level 6: Three modules Level 7: Three modules
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.
Primary Weapons

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Secondary Weapons
Must go in the second weapon slot. (Limit to level 4 and up?)

| Terrabomb | ★ | ★★ | ★ | ★ (terraform) | -Reload | +Terraform | +AoE |
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 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
(Chassis labels added for a non-omnicom design.)
| Name | Description | Upgrade Option 1 | ...followed by: | Upgrade Option 2 | ...followed by: |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jumpjets (Recon only) | Jump like Recon com, longer cd/shorter range? | Impact Distributor (damage on landing) | More damage OR -cooldown | Superjump (+range) | ++Range OR -cooldown |
| CarRepairer's Nanolathe (Engineer only) | +BP | Lazarus Device (+BP, Rez) | +BP | +BP, +BPrange | +BP, +BPrange |

| Vanguard Deployment | Place Vanguard module in separate structure | Personal Cloak | Area Cloak OR lower E cost | Personal Shield | Area Shield OR stronger shield / faster regen |
UI Mockup
Alternatively have modules chosen in a UI like the current system, but some window like this is probably good to see "what is the current status of my com".
Level 2: Lightning Gun, Sensor Suite, Ablative Armor Level 3: +EMP damage, Drone Director, High Power Servos Currently choosing Level 4: Sunburst Cannon, Jumpjets, Drone Director +
