Alien upgrade tier specifics

Since 250, Alien upgrades come in tiers, improving with the number of upgrade buildings you construct. My understanding is that the upgrade maxes out at 3 structures. For example, a shell unlocks Carapace and Regeneration. A second and third shell improves Carapace and Regen. But I have been unable to find the effectiveness of the upgrades. By how much does a single shell improve armor. And what does a second shell do, exactly? And what does a third shell do? Likewise for Spurs. Do celerity with two spurs cause aliens to move faster than with one spur? By how much exactly? I would love to know these things. Thank you in advance.

    I think for the spurs it's 0.5/1/1.5 m/s, so I guess it's thirds.

    Carapace - each shell gives more armor (varies depending on the lifeform)
    Regeneration - health regenerates faster if there are more shells
    Celerity - speed increase gets larger as more spurs are built
    Adrenaline - max energy and regeneration rate increase with more spurs
    Phantom - lifeform becomes more silent (with three veils it is completely silent)
    Aura - range of detection increases with more veils

    Not sure of the exact numbers, but if you were unsure as to what building the upgrade buildings is actually doing, those are the variables that increase

    I guess you could pm Itssupereffective or ironhorse, I'm pretty sure they know about this kind of stuff.

    Thanks, Blarney. I am still curious as to the numbers if anyone has them. I'd rather not bother someone with a PM, though.

    I would assume 33% though..
