Upgrading armor as commander..

<div class="IPBDescription">Help..</div>everytime I ask for help ingame, no one ever helps at all.  So when you are commander, how do you get heavy machine guns, heavy armor, jetpacks, etc.  I put down a research lab but only the heavy machine guns and grenade launchers were avalible ><

You know how an armory allows you to drop shotguns and welders by it, well if you click on the armory the option to upgrade it an advance armory should be near the bottom. It will start upgrading it self (marines can't get ammo from it at this point) and when it's done you should be able to drop GLs and HMGs beside it.

Armor and weapons arms labs are done from the Arms Lab.

Download the manual to get the tech tree.  If you want Heavy Armor and Jetpacks you must build a prototype lab after you build the Arms Lab.
