Summary: The commander can create weapons, ammo packs and medkits. Weapons can only be placed within range of an armory (or advanced armory). Jet packs and heavy armor may only be deployed with range of a prototype lab. Scanner sweeps and distress beacons are also, in a way, equipment, and so are listed here.

Select the desired equipment from the equipment menu, and place the icon over an approved location (see equipment descriptions).

A commander can induce the local network to produce an accepted blueprint from its ceiling nodules. In other words, the commander can drop weapons, ammo, and medkits from the ceiling, spending resources to create them. Scanner sweeps and distress beacons also involve material manipulation of the command network's ceiling construction nanos, and so are listed here.
