Confused about shop upgrades

Hi,

1) So I bought flamethrowers but I cannot use flamethrowers? They are greyed out on the training menu?

2) Also I got Robotics but instead of giving me bunkers with a turret on my bases/capture-points it seems to give me an option in the Research menu to build some weird bunker-type thing with shield icons swirling about it ? Said thing has no turret. It does kind of looks like a base but can be placed anywhere. Can anyone explain this please?

1) Did you just buy a single-use Flamethrower upgrade? If so, one of your starting marines in the next mission will have a Flamethrower.
2) Constructing the Robotics building during a mission and all your bunkers will be upgraded with a turret, shield and larger healing radius.

1.Some missions block some tech ya know? Its to make this game actualy somewhat harder there. So you buying the flammer tech and not being able to use them is normal (same for grenade center or heal center... in some of the earlier missions you just cant use either of them because reasons).

2.Depends on missions, there are "bases" that are not able to carrie turrets. Those are mainly in the "rush" missions. No defending there, just pure attack thus even turrets are a waste of points there.

Thanks guys, I think your explanations cover it. Having pushed on a bit I have got the robotics turrets going, still no flamethrowers though but maybe I bought them too early.
