Core upgrading thoughts

This page will cover my intentions on how core upgrading will work in ShellCore Command Remastered.

Introduction

With the release of the Drone Workshop and tasks there is really only one thing left from the original ShellCore games that are yet to be implemented: Core upgrading. Just like drones, there is a general desire among members in the community to diversify this concept as well. The main aspect with a lot of discussion is the addition of more shell designs, and there is plenty of art to draw from in that department. However, it would be boring if all these additional designs brought to the table were cosmetic differences, so it's important to analyze the possible changes we can implement to make core upgrading even more fun than it was in the original games.

The following sections will analyze some changes that I have come up with, as well as why I think they would add to the game in an interesting way.
