In this dev journal, we take a first look at the new Unit Upgrades system in Ashes of the Singularity II. We start with the PHC Commander, showing how a basic starter unit can become a battle hardened veteran with more health, stronger weapons, and even a new offensive drone bay module. From there we move on to the Hyperion dreadnought, upgrading its health and weapon damage to turn it into an even bigger threat on the battlefield. We also talk about the risk that comes with these upgrades, since losing an upgraded unit in battle means losing everything you put into it. Everything shown here is still a work in progress, but we wanted to share where things are headed.
