Alein Upgrades

MaxPepper13

<div class="IPBDescription">I'm clueless</div> Ok when you have defense, sensory, and movement chambers and 3 hives you have lots of choices for upgrades. I've read enough and played with them enough to know what they do. But I still don't get and wonder the why and how of what level upgrade are they. People keep on refering to lvl3 carapace, regeneration, cloaking, etc. How do you get level 3 yadda yadda yadda. Please inform my noobiness.

You can build more than one of each type of chamber. So 1 defence chamber = level 1 caraspace (if you upgrade caraspace). With each level, each upgrade works a little bit better up to a maximum of 3 of each upgrade chamber.

u pick one upgrade from each chamber, simple as that

and u need 3 of each chamber to have lvl 3 upgrades, not 3 hives

To make sure I understand this... You got to have three defense chambers and upgrade to ... say... regeneration and it's level 3... doesn't matter if you had 3 before or after as long as there is three here and now... And those three chambers can be any where on the map?

from the begining:

you have the first hive to start. ANY chamber can be built (defence, movement,sensory), but once one is chosen(any of the 3 previously listed), there must get another hive up to get another chamber(either of the remaining chambers).

once one chamber (defence for ex.) is up, you can get level 1 carapace. if there are 2 chambers, you can get level 2 carapace. the benefits end at level 3. this goes for all upgrade chambers.

if you have 3 hives, you can have all the chambers.
if you have 2 hives, you can only have 2 of the 3 chambers.
with one hive you can only get 1 chamber.

with = to or greater than 1 hive, you can build as many chambers (of the one first built) as you want, just remember that only one upgrade in a area can be gained, and that one upgrade can goto level 3 when there are 3 or more chambers up.

EX:
There is one hive, and defence chamber is chosen as the first upgrade chamber.
Redemption, Carapace, Regeneration is gained by defence chamberr.
there are 2 defence chambers.

you upgrade Regeneration, and you have level 2 regeneration b/c of the 2 defence chambers. if one gets made, you gain another level; after that, no more further additions. if one is killed however, you lose one level becuase there would only be 1 chamber for the upgrade you have.

hope that helped you!

Correct me if i'm wrong, o hive mind, as this isn't somthing I've tested. However, I'm thinking Umbra works to defend those within it from the spitting metal. So deploying it on a marine sentry turret would only protect the turret, not your fellow aliens. (Unless, of course, they are close enough to that turret to be within the same umbra cloud.)
