This Mod is designed for people who don't like the fact that the commander is nothing but a liability during later game assassination games. The concept behind it is to allow the commander to be continuously upgraded throughout the game to allow the commander to compete in a front line role on the battlefield. To do this I have created 8 trees of upgrades totaling out to roughly 24 upgrades per side. These trees are divided but function rather than the random placment the GPG seems to have used and while all the effects from the original upgrades should be included they have been recombined and readjusted to the functions of the trees.
The Trees are broken up and grouped based on location for easier choices.
-Left Arm Upgrades are always going to be your engineering systems. These are used to both adjust the costs/time of other upgrades so they are more reasonable to purchase as well as adding to the commanders tech level build capability. Engineering system come in two flavors. Improved Engineering gives the standerd engineering bonuses as well as providing an increase in RAS subsystems at each level allowing the commander to help with the economy as well. Combat Engineering varies for each commander but rather than providing RAS boosts you get combat systems that allow your commander to bring more toys to the front line.
-Right Arm Upgrades are always primary weapon systems and tend to constitute for 70% or more of your ACU's total firepower. All ACUs have three primary weapon systems to choose from. One is a Sustained Fire low overkill weapon that is designed for moving through groups of smaller units quickly. The second is a lower Single Shot cannon that tends to do a large amount of damage and splash to a single point. The Third is a high powered torpedo launcher designed to mince ships wuickly and keep your commander safe underwater, however you will loose most of your land based firepower.
-Backpack Upgrades are going to be the largest part of your upgrades as far as unique capabilities for your commander. These come in several flavors. Defensive Backpacks will often offer the largest single chunks of health effecting bonuses and usually contain shields or armor systems. Electronics Backpacks upgrade your omni and vision radius and provides various countermeasures. Combat Utility Backpacks are probobly the larges one to vary between sides as these tend to focus more on unique features provided by that sides theme as I see it.
Each upgrade is also marked with a tech level in parethesis next to the upgrades name. This represents the optimal commander tech level for which to build this upgrade. Optimal commander tech level is basically the tech level of units/buildings your engineering systems allow you to build. While it is possible to build a T2 or higher upgrade on a commander that has no engineering the time it takes to build the upgrade will be much higher (on the lines of 3x) then if you built the engineering system first. This is done to help control the flow of the upgrades throughout the coarse of the game. It should also be noted that building an upgrade that is lower than your current commander's tech level (for example building a T2 item with a T4 commander) will result in the upgrade building alot faster than normal but at a higher economy drain.
I will also note for those who will wonder what happens to the early game. All of my new and redesigned upgrades are set up for T2 and later as far as balance is concerned. To help combat this I have added the T1 weapon upgrades that already existed (though are now probobly renamed) to the weapon arm. This allows you to get the normal gun upgrade like you would have been able to do anyway to give a slight early game DPS boost. If you do build the T1 weapon upgrade when you move to T2 and go to install a new weapon from one of the trees you will get the "are you sure you want to remove" box. Its because your removing that upgrade to install something different. Don't worry about this as the basic gun upgrade effects are re-applied no matter which new weapon you choose.
While there are alot of upgrades to choose from and even more combinations I have tried to incorporate something for each player style from rush to turtle. These upgrades are also set up for the long game which means you arn't going to max out your acu in a game thats 20min long with nothing but pure combat. But this is by design to make your choices in such situations even that much more varied. You will have to weigh the value of each possible choice for how you want to play your commander. Endgame ACU max upgrade is set to average out to about 1hr game time depending on how rough the combat is.

See post with large cyan heading on Page 9
Known Conflicts Special Rules:
This mod while designed to be as compatable as possible with other mods out there will have serious issue with mods that effect specific things. The first and formost is going to be the ACUs. While other mods that make changes to ACUs will not effect the function of this mod you will not see those changes ingame simply because the default ACUs are no longer being used. When your commander warps in you are actually using a custom unit rather than the games default unit. This was to prevent mods that make minor adjustments to the ACUs from throwing my upgrades out of whack. Commander's Revenge would deffinatly fall into this category.
The second issue has to deal with the first. Any mod that changes the default spawn units may conflict with this mod simly because it may revert the script i used to spawn in the custom unit rather than the default commander. Since I can't be entirely sure I am making it a heads up for players to watch out for.
Message To Other Modders:
Just a quick blurp for other modders in case they want to make a mod that either uses features provided by my scripts or adjustments to the commanders fir with TCs.
-First: The unit IDs for my commanders are EAL0001, EEL0001, ERL0001, and ESL0001 for simplicity. If you wish to hook any changes to these commanders those are the unitIDs to use.
-Second: The Transparent Cloak script will activly run on any unit that has a cloak or cloaking field value. It does not need any special preperation on the part of others.
-Third: To make use of the teleportation changes there are only three things needed in a units BP file. For Anti-Teleport capabilities add ANTITELEPORT to the units categories and specify a NoTeleDistance in the Defence section of the units BP. For the teleport range limitation simply add a MaxTeleRange to the Defense Section of the units BP. No other changes are nessissary.|||
|||So I take it, that since Blackops need not be activated, that it really doesn't require Blackops, you just want to get more people to use it. 
Anyways, downloading now, looks awesome.
EDIT: Why does this mod the Mavor's category list?|||Mooilo|||This is a cool mod. I like this idea and the models look awesome! I noticed a lot of glitches though, and I also have some design questions..
My notes:
Aeon
glitches on aeon com:
1. aeon tech upgrades (both the combat and resource generating tech upgrades) for the com don't actually expand the com's blueprint database beyond the tech 1 com blueprints.
2. standard is mispelled "standerd" on those tech upgrades. in the in-game description. And other upgrades also have "standerd mispelled" on the aeon com.
3. I put on the aeon miasma arty upgrades, but switching to arty mode doesn't do anything:
a. Its very hard to tell what mode you are supposed to be in by looking at the button.
b. Switching modes doesn't disable the close range gun regardless of what mode you are in.
c. The arty guns will not fire regardless of mode.
4. Putting on the arty upgrade and the counter electronics upgrade (the one that gives you stealth) on the aeon com overloads the FA interface or something, b/c when you select your com, all the special abilities icons disappear from the bottom left of the screen. All you can see are the standard orders like: attack, move, assist, reclaim, etc. Removing one of the upgrades fixed this problem. It seems to be a problem of having so many buttons that the interface just doesn't display any of them.
5. The photon beam from the photon beam upgrades on the aeon com have trouble hitting a seraphim commander when the aeon com firing the photon beam is moving. It seems to do fine when the aeon com is standing still. Didn't seem to make a difference whether or not the sera com was moving or still.
6. The maelstrom field upgrades didn't seem to do any damage at all to any type of unit regardless of whether or not it was shielded.
7. The Chrono dampener field that supposedly comes with the combat-tech upgrades on the aeon com didn't cause EMP to any enemy units (even at point-blank range).
Design questions on the aeon com:
The aeon com seems to really suck at taking on the other commanders with a pack of the late game upgrades on. The aeon one just doesn't get a very good high dps weapon like the other coms do. That doesn't feel very aeonish...aeon are supposed to be pretty darn powerful in a straight up close range fight while kinda sucking at stealth maneuvers.
The uef com has every shield upgrade that is available to the aeon com. One of the cool things about aeon imo was that it had the best shields, just that they were on a small area and only fit on the aeon com by itself.
Normally, the aeon com gets the option of 2 resource allocation upgrades. Maybe the aeon com should get an extra upgrade to add to its resource income or something after t4.
UEF
Would be nice if you could order the uef com to fire its cluster missles from far away without the com closing into normal gun range. Idk if thats possible without giving it "weapon modes" though.|||Did every commander get the cloak upgrade? Cuz really that just seems like a Cybran thing. Let the others get some other buffed system if they need it. And what happened to the anti-teleport? None of the ACUs seem to have it?
Cybran:
At the moment what is the point of going for the defensive route with the back upgrades? The speed/teleport/regen is far better than the 3 armor upgrades. Unless the armor upgrades give you that much more regen to outweigh being able to teleport and run faster?
Seraphim:
Does it have a teleport upgrade? I might of missed it but I didn't see it when I upgraded with each of the backs.
The overcharge upgrade is bugged. I'm not sure if it's supposed to have that awesome effect that was in blackops 2.1, but it didn't when I just tried it. Also once you get this upgrade it treats it as a billy upgrade and shows the sera acu has the ability to make nuclear missiles...it however cannot do this and you lose the ability to fire your normal TMLs.
Also the build suites do not give the acu new blueprints past its starting ones.
Also when you get the 2nd level of the lambda field back it gives you access to nuclear TMLs. But you can never build the nukes. Might want to mention that it has AA also.
What was really cool was how the Seraphim had that second level of resource allocation. Now, however, all the ACUs have equal amounts or resource generation. Could their be a way to maybe make their resource build upgrades slightly more expensive and have more resource generation?|||Thank you. I wish my wife would hurry up and finish her homework so me and the boys can try it.|||What are the advantages in comparison to the long established Commanders Revenge?
The downside of such Commander upgrades is the fact that players focus on the Commander instead of planning surprising tactics - at least as long as the Commander upgrades aren't expensive enough.|||Not to sound snide, but other than serious balance considerations, decent models, faction diversity and post release support?
Other than not much else I guess.
Also with it also get applied to the SCUs so in the long run everything will get similar treatment.
Also, Exavier is prolly one of the best unit scripter/coders out there, if he can't do a decent job on them, no one can! xD
Mike|||Thnx Exavier, I am speechless of what I can see on the screenshots.
But when I try to see them ingame something weirds occurs:
I've extracted the zip file in the right folder. In the mod manager I can turn the mod on, but when I launch the game no ACU spawns neither mine or the AI his acu lol
Maybe it's because of this mod:
http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?t=17516
I did disabled it in the mod manager however.
Do you think that mod is the problem?|||I had the same problem. When I extraced it, it extracted a second mods folder(with the ACU mod in it) into my mods directory. I cut it out of the second mods folder, and put it into the first mods folder. Problem solved.
Aeon ACU is screwed up, as mentioned. malestrom thing does nothing. Misasma canons work as soon as the upgrade is complete, but if you switch or the main gun shoots, it doesn't work again.
I couldnt' seem to see the lambda effect. are the projectiles supposed to be seen flying off of the ACU?
I get the feeling, form simply testing things, that the UEF is way OP.|||Ack wow i was definatly asleep when I packed the thing. Ok feel free to hit me lol. Guess I have a few things to work on.
@drugfreeboy: Sounds like I busted a script somewhere i will have to track this down ASAP. Kinda odd since it did work for me in the last round of trials. Oh well.
As for mis spellings well call it typing everythingo ut without proofreading or spellchecking. Was more worried about functionality which seems to have failed anyway.
The Phason Beam for the Aeon should be out damaging everyone elses (except cybran) sustained damage weapon and the artillery when its working properly is anything but weak lol. I think i just have a few script glitches to tear out.
UEF Fires its cluster missles at targets at its maximum range. The only thing that would cause it to fire them at something closer is if one of its higher priority targets happens to be closer. Those missles prioritise "Artillery" over all other units so its probobly going after T1 and T2 mobile artillary if its fireing that close.
@regabond: lmao I guess I forgot to remove the button. Technically all ACUs have the cloaking code but I was gona disable the upgrade. Anti-Teleport should be working but it only effects an area about the same range as the ACU's default gun.
For the Cybran Armor buffs they actually get regen as well. And a heck of alot more than anyone else
I think I missed the teleporter on serephim lol. But I will take a look at those as the serephim should not get a nuke. AA Was added so late i forgot to change descriptions
RAS in general is one of the main things that need tweaking. The problem is I can't put in enough testing hours to find exact values that will work for it. So i put them all the same until I got community imput.
@Roi Danton: The main advantages are simply that it (when i get it completely working properly) will provide a little more diversity that hopfully fits in with the games default setting better than the "I have so many guns i may tip over" approach that commanders revenge took.
The upgrades are set up to try and follow the flow of the game so that they don't drag down the overall gameplay. It may need some tweaking slightly but its designed to give the commander a more frontline role in the overall game.
Also my version is rewritten from an ACU Upgrades mod I wrote back in Vanilla long before Commander's Revenge was ever concieved. Heck we couldn't even add new models to the game back then. and after I get the glitches and adjustments wrung out of it should be resonably balanced.
@H-master: Try pulling it out of the duplicate mods fodler that got wrapped up in the packaging
@pluto: The actual lambda effects are invisable so there is nothing to see actually hitting projectiles. The projectiles get redirected as they enter a certain range of the ACU. Not all of them will but a good portion of them. As for the UEF. Well maybe a little but I have to get everythign working properly it seems before I could say for sure.
@Everyone: Sorry for the bugs. I probobly woulda delayed the release if i had realized there where so many issues. But things seemed to work find on the tests i was running. Oh well back to the coding board I guess lol.
While I have a traffic court date on Wednesday (Freaking freeway cameras) I'll see if I can get a revised release by the end of the week if possible. We will see if i can stamp out the issues asap.
EDIT: There we go. Updated the known issues list... now to work on fixing them. If any more are found please post them so i can tag them as well.|||I love you for this mod
|||I kind of dislike the cloaking effects. It should show some of the albedo is that is possible. the commender becomes boring when clocked. you can't see his awesomeness. I think they would look better with a shiny/reflective Pshiledgen mesh around them with a phased unit model with texture inside it or something.... since. if it was cloaked. light would be bending around the cloaked object so we as the user of the ACu should still beable to see it's awesomeness while cloaked T__T|||Awesome mod - some bugs, but it's going to be better to fix them all at once, than to mess with it for a week TRYING to find them. We'll find them for you.
The UEF may not be as OP as I thought - I was pitting them against a ML, close range, to test their abilities. I think I was comparing apples to oranges, in that the upgrades were different - UEF shields, cybran speed and regen, where I should have used the armor to compare them.
The lambda did not seem to redirect anything shot at it. I'll have to look again.|||Just a question, I had a UEF commander that i built the cluster rocket then tatical rocket then nuke on, afterwards i removed it and put the shield gen on instead. However after a few kills he started shooting the cluster missles as well as having the shield generator. He's probably not supposed to do that correct?|||I'm really liking the UEF upgrades. Is he supposed to retain his anti-matter cannon after upgrading to the plasma gatling cannon? If he isn't, can I request that be kept? I like having moar gunz :p|||Hurray, New toys to play with. Excellent work.|||Exavier Macbeth|||@CardBoardBoxProcessor: The cloak effects could probobly be made more interesting I am sure but it would require time to sit down and look at them. For now they are staying as is till I get bugs ironed out. Bug fixes first then graphics focus :)
@pluto: hehe yea trying to compare all of them in the same role would come up with results that look like one side is OPed. After all the Cybran laser would wipe out any of the other commanders at point blank range easily
I'll run another test on the lambda when i get to that part and make sure but it was working. The Lambda will not stop beam weapons such as the ML lasers and anything that fires from within its fields may not be stopped. Field distance is about 7 however that translates (4-6 T1 power gens lined up maybe). Aginst a single target it will probobly redirect every shot. the more things shooting at it the less it will redirect.
@Ecarus: Hmm now thats one i have never seen occure as I have done that weapon switch several times myself. I'll have to see if i can get it to duplicate it. If not I may need a replay where it happens if possible.
