Support weapons techs unlocks different offensive abilities for insectoid vehicles, axuliary equipment is similar but for support/defensive abilities. Both of these should give 1 ability to each vehicle, some can be the same for different vehicles but I would like decent variety.
Not going to lie I just think this system in Age of Alder is cool so Im copying it. Insectoid vehicles need some tech scaling I feel like this is more interesting than just stats.
escapingperil and oneaboveall and fatman gave a bunch of ideas for abilites on Discord a while ago, Ill try to go through them and post here. We do require ability images.

Re: Support weapons and axuliary equipment
Support weapons unlocks abilities:
- mantis mech - slice armor - reduces armor by 2/2 for 3 round, no action required and 2 turn cooldown, removed by mending, I think it's ok to be stackable
- centipede and scorpio mech - EMP stinger - 2 range, cooldown, uses 1 action
- Hercules bettle, crab, spider, scarab, death worm (surfaced) - acid spray, perhaps like the myconid tank
- scrapper, roach, antlion (in both forms), laser spitter - a weak 1 range laser attack ability
- warpillar, EMP walker, lobster submarine (land), water strider - 0 action cost flamethrower ability
- hoppers - some grenade maybe? a weak one but no action cost so it can use jump in the some turn
Axuliary equipment unlocks abilites:
- for all vehicles that burrow - regeneration in the burrowed form (10% seems fair)
- scrapper - uses scrap to increase its or ally vehicle's armor
- mantis mech, scorpio mech, centipede mech - defensive stance - gains armors, - 1 speed for 3 round and 3 cooldown, I think it needs to take an action, maybe full counter spec then?
- water strider - summon naval mine
- Hercules bettle, venom crawler, crab, emp walker, spider - dash - no action cost 1 turn speed buff with a cooldown
- roach, laser spitter - camouflage - similar to cloaking but shorter duration
- hoppers - an ability that gives some dodge
- scarab (both forms) - shield overcharge - give a bunch more armor to its self, loses attack
