<div class="IPBDescription">How can i get level 2 cloaking and such?</div>Ive ttried building multiple evolution chambers of the same type, doesnt seem to open up the next levels of upgrades. The manual is a bit unclear, can anyone shed some light here? I was thinking maybe you can only have as many upgrades as hives, like with 2 hives AND 2 sensory chambers you can get level 2 cloak, but has been difficult to test as thus far the aliens seem clueless out there. Help me out please <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

For level three redemption, you build three (or more) defense chambers, and evolve redemption.
etc, etc.
there are three <b>types</b> of chambers;
Defence
Movement
Sensory
You need one hive to place one <b>type</b> of chamber.
If you have one hive, you can only place one <b>type</b> of chamber.
Defence <i>or</i> Movement <i>or</i> Sensory.
If you have two hives, you can place two <b>types</b> of chambers.
Defence <i>and</i> Movement, Defence <i>and</i> Sensory <i>or</i> Movement <i>and</i> Sensory.
If you have three hives, you can place all three <b>types</b> of chambers.
Defence <i>and</i> Movement <i>and</i> Sensory.
Typically speaking, you can place as many <b>numbers</b> of <b>types</b> that you have already built.
This means, if you have only one hive and already have a Defence chamber <b>type</b> built, you can build, and only build, more Defence Chambers.
The way the <b>upgrades</b> work is like this;
Defence Chamber <b>Types</b> allow Carapace , Regeneration and Redemption.
Movement Chamber <b>Types</b> allow Adrenaline, Celerity and Silence.
Sensory Movement <b>Types</b> allow Cloaking, Advanced Hive Sight and Scent of Fear.
You are allowed one <b>upgrade</b> per <b>type</b>. That means you can not have Carapace and Redemption at the same time, regardless of the amount of hives, or chamber <b>types</b>.
Each chamber <b>type</b> allows one <b>upgrade</b>. If you build two Defense Chamber <b>types</b>, you get two <b>upgrades</b>.
There is a very high maximum limit on the number of chamber <b>types</b> you can build, however the maximum <b>upgrades</b> you can ever get of one <b>type</b> of chamber is three. You do however, have a maximum <b>number</b> of nine <b>upgrades</b>. Three <b>upgrades</b> per <b>type</b> of chamber.
Building more then three chamber <b>types</b> will not add to the amount of <b>upgrades</b> you can get. They do, however, have benefits to building more then three of the same <b>type</b>.
Defence Chambers will heal near by buildings and teammates.
Movement will allow you to teleport to your hive. Press your Use key near one to activate.
Sensory will alert you to incoming marines. It will also parisite any marine who touches it.
There is also the Offencive Chambers, but they act more like turrets and give no <b>upgrades</b> of any kind.
Also, the chambers must be fully built before you actually recieve the <b>upgrade</b>.
I finally understand it now. Coz to be honest; the manual can be quite unclear sometimes. Or maybe i just don't have the patience to read it all...
Anywayz; thanx for the explanation
Or I can not find these information... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Well, the way the manual is made is that the Fronteirsmans wrote their knowledge about the Kharaa, and they dont know about the different level of upgrades yet <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Dunno if it has been said, but to know what lvl your upgrade is, simply count how many icons are on top of one another on the right.
