Unit promotions / update ship

[ghoulhound83]

Promotions can increase % damage % fire rate on weapons per promotion.

5 star starship being the highest and best promotion a unit can get. The color of the weapon being fired will change to something unique to indicate a 5 star unit.

Have badges beside units health bar for acknowledging they are ranked.

0 being default rank.
1-5 ranks.
------------------------
Repair station can act like an update station as well.

Have an outdated ship with low tier guns go to a repair station to update to whatever new weapons you have researched.

This will hold your ship and render it useless untill weapons update is complete.

This will help with ranked ships if you add this system.

A ranked low tier ship gets updated with new weapons.. this will keep this unit in the game longer..

I believe this system will make the player value each unit and treat them as if they are all Kings..

Instead ( currently ) of just build another one.. their expendable.

I'd rather just be able to upgrade the existing ships with weapons/shields I've researched.

I'd rather just have a repair ship with AOE repair refit, but if it's expensive that's okay.

I want to be able to choose how I do my refits. I want a branched research tree with multiple refit options. From a refit ship to a repeatable research that refits all ships. And another branching research that auto upgrades ships who have been out of combat for a period of time say 5 minutes.
