It sounds like you're specifically focusing on Nova, and less of the army management side of things? By equipping these items you will have new abilities in that mission to engage with. She'll be present on the ground for you to run around and control. She'll be able to upgrade her own weapons, gear slots as well, like helmets that adjust visors so she gets special abilities to take into missions with her. So with Nova's background, being a ghost, she unlocks some unique abilities for units that have this more techy approach to them. Except with Nova Covert Ops we will have that little story interaction that you're used to with the campaign where you can upgrade your units. So now we're offering more content for those players and similar to the prologue where we have the three missions.
