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.

Jen Douglas | Nanomachines
The nanomachines that Cethlenn's jammed Jen full of have had enough time to replicate in her system and come to full effect, giving her some really nifty powers and a drawback that she'd rather live without. In their current state they don't have a real notable effect on muscle mass, so no super strength or anything like that. They do however make her difficult to kill; Jen is almost totally immune to poisons now, and will heal quickly from small wounds. Something like a maiming would not kill her, but could only be repaired if she was inside Cethlenn. Grievous bodily trauma-stuff like having multiple limbs crushed or amputated at once-would still prove fatal or put her in a coma outside of Cethlenn and will knock her out for some time inside of it. Headshot are still deadly, as is being reduced to the consistency of chunky salsa-the nanomachines can't repair brain damage.
Near-total immunity to poisons includes alcohol though, so getting drunk is now not really practical. The same applies for other recreational drugs, except caffeine.
