So, i've been thinking about making this post for a while, so here it finally goes. I really like this game but I think it suffers a bit from lack of directions to upgrade in. So I was thinking about more things to upgrade. With this new setup commanders can choose between going to stronger weapons, marines, buildings, or stealth tactics. Or maybe some of each.
Idea: Add 3 more sets of upgrades to the armory(maybe call it research center). The upgrades will be a completely different path than focusing only on weapons and armor.
Paths 1 - 2 = weapons + armor.
Path 3: Stealth
Stealth 1: Make less noise or no noise while building or welding as marines. This is so you can hear aliens coming as you build
Stealth 2: Make less noise while running
Stealth 3: Makes marine weapons silenced, less noise while shooting.
Path 4: Building
Building 1: Buildings can be built in 2/3 the time.
Building 2: Give all marine buildings an armor boost
Building 3: Be able to build bile bomb armor with welder on each building(Armor will protect from about 3-5 bilebombs) This one might need work... ideas? It is basically to help prevent damage from bile bomb rushes.
Path 5: Marine
Marine 1: Reload weapons faster
Marine 2: Faster marine sprint speed
Marine 3: Marines can choose which infantry portal to spawn from (with this upgrade, infantry portals might be built more? Phase gates already kind of do this)
Alternate Marine 3: Marines are more resistant to alien powers, less time disabled from onos stomp, spores hurt less, etc.
Any other ideas or replacement ideas for this?
Also, I didn't think about possible alien upgrades to compete against all the marine ones.
