Requests for upgrades go here. If you want one, respond to this post.
Note: upgrades that were already in an accepted application do not have to be written here, just make sure with the mods that it's okay to introduce them into the game before you do it.
Location upgrade requests - new bases
If you have a potential new base location in mind, write a location upgrade request. Following guidelines are in place:
Unit upgrades
The meat of this page, so to speak. The rules are simple - if you want an upgrade for your character, write it here, following guidelines from the Applications page. If your request is rejected, the mods will write a response telling you why. It may be because your character already received an upgrade recently or we feel what you have already is powerful or versatile enough. If that is the case, you will have to wait some time before the request can be accepted.
Cross-canon upgrades
A special case to consider is when upgrades come from a canon different than your own character's. In such a case, keep the following in mind:
In short: Don't powergame, and don't use cross-canon upgrades as an opportunity to try to prove one canon's "superiority" over another.
NEW! Personal position upgrades
Player characters are allowed to apply for a position within Unity Group - by default they have rank of a normal Unity Group pilot/combatant, in addition to their canon rank in their own canon organisation (if they belong to one). If you want something more, well, this is what this section is for.
Any position below base commander is up for grabs. This is not about military-style ranks (Sergeant, Lieutenant, etc), what you apply for is an assignment within Unity Group: drill instructor, chief mechanic (or ordinary mechanic), janitor, cafeteria lady, commander's aide, whatever you feel is appropriate for your character.
The request will be approved or rejected depending on competence and trustworthiness of the character. If accepted, their extra tasks are assumed to be handled offscreen even if you do not post about them (because this is supposed to give you more roleplaying opportunities and not extra work). Do note that abuse of position will end with that position being taken away from the character.
If you want a particular position within Unity Group for your character, please tag this post with an ugprade request as usual.

Location upgrade requests - new bases
If you have a potential new base location in mind, write a location upgrade request. Following guidelines are in place:
- It must be an already existing installation (in the game or in one of its canons), not something that will be built from scratch. Instead it will be modified to serve as a Unity Group base.
- It must have important things or suspicious activity from hostile groups happening nearby. Read: events must happen in the suggested base's general location, preferably events from more than one canon.
- Obviously, a similar Unity Group base cannot be too close nearby. Redundancy!
- It's strongly encouraged that the location have something unusual or interesting that makes it different from other bases.

Cross-canon upgrades
A special case to consider is when upgrades come from a canon different than your own character's. In such a case, keep the following in mind:
- Get permission from all players who have characters from the canon you are "borrowing" your upgrade from.
- Cross-canon upgrades exist for flavor or roleplaying opportunities, not to engage in one-upping or cherry picking the best out of every canon. Because of that, a cross-canon upgrade cannot be stronger than units used in the canon the upgrade comes from. Nor can it be an upgrade to the extent that it replaces fully or mostly the unit's old abilities, rather than just enhancing them.
In short: Don't powergame, and don't use cross-canon upgrades as an opportunity to try to prove one canon's "superiority" over another.

New base/external residency request
The actual location of the base is somewhere in the Falkland Islands, but I'm okay with it being switched around to wherever is convenient.
As far as features go, it's equipped with the usual hangar (enough to store several mecha including the Granzon itself, in canon), as well as the facilities that come with an island base hideout, like a command center, lounge, library and so on. Probably the most unique feature is that its built under an undeveloped island and therefore has a private beach.
If this doesn't qualify the place as a full fledged base, I hope it's at least okay to get it as Shu's off-base residency.

It probably won't be usable as a Unity Group base, but counts as off-base residency and will be equipped with ESUN for ease of access (and also so we have closer to South America). The final details will be hammered out after the next event.
