The New Upgrade System dictates a new upgrade system on buildings, 4 upgrades on 3 paths. 2nd path final upgrades usually have a special ability associated with them. Note: when the 3rd or 4th upgrades have been purchased on one path, the 3rd and 4th upgrades of the other two paths are blocked because they are special. Unlike in current SC, upgrades for anything besides engineering bay will require the engineering bay.
