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 6.
At each level, choose three modules or module upgrades. Cannot choose/upgrade a particular module more than once in the same level.
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.

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 Photovoltaic Plating * upgrade High Power Servos to Spider Legs or Tank Chassis * add a new module * add a new module

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 +
