while playing around with the torpedoe frigate, i got the strange idea of implementing a second torpedoe upgrade to the ship.

however, i soon realised that the "normal only" and "special attack" can only be used for one weapon upgrade. so i'm almost certain that you can't upgrade a weapon more than once.

Armour and speed, yes those can be upgraded twice, but i haven't seen any weapon having the ability to be upgraded twice.

I 've thought about that too. I can see no way around it... attacks are only divided into normal and special.

There's only a couple possiblities..

Weapons Subsystems on larger ships that are only buildable if you research the relevant upgrade

Button-activated special attacks (IE, EMP) that are only available thorugh upgrades.

I'm not sure if you can increase weapon damage via an upgrade... all the weapon upgrades are in fact "ability" upgrades.

makes me wonder... we need more documentation on what you can DO with the research upgrades.

Seeing how in the scripts there are special attacks and the like, perhaps it will be possible to make a new "secondaryattacks" or such script. Allowing us to reference weapons other than Special and Normal.

torpedoe frigate upgrade aka imp.torpedoes increased the damage of the weapon, but not of the original.

so i guess not...so i'll have to create my own seperate emp frigate :(
