Hi. With the upgrade weekend coming very soon, I have a question about upgrade priorities.
I currently have the Iconian 4pc set, 3 embassy consoles, and 3 fleet tactical consoles all at Mk XII. The Iconian set is brand new so it's at Very Rare. The Fleet consoles are at UR and were bought shortly after the last upgrade weekend.
The goal is obviously to get all of these upgraded to Mk XIV epic. But what priority should I set? Like getting the warp core to Ultra Rare will get me AMP. Which my build is pretty much totally set to take advantage of with my power level distribution and my use of EPtX powers. I've read that the embassy consoles really add a good boost at Mk XIV epic. And I'm at level 15 in beams so already have a bunch of upgrade tokens for beams and beam consoles so those would be easiest to upgrade.
I'm just seeking advice on what I should prioritize this weekend. Warpcore for amp? Embassy consoles? Embassy consoles to Mk XIV AND to epic? Tactical consoles? (Oh yeah, I run beams so beam consoles).
Just trying to be a little more efficient this weekend.

If you're trying to get the best damage boost, I would first upgrade your Embassy Plasma and Spire Locator Tactical Consoles. You should be able to get those to Mk XIV Epic with ease and those give very good return on the upgrade. If you have any Lobi Consoles like Bio-Neural Infusion Circuits, most of them also get a very good return on investment from upgrades.
I would go next to the Warp Core. Be advised though, it's going to be expensive. Even on an Upgrade Weekend, unless you get lucky.. it can still be quite costly. Still, if you're set up to take advantage of AMP then you should absolutely try to get it. You could save some resources here by picking up an UR Fleet Core that already has AMP and just taking it to mark XIV, that's dirt cheap. Sometimes you get lucky, I got a Warp Core to UR with only a few kits last time.. it's just dumb luck.
Last thing I would do is Weapons, but if your interest is getting them to Epic, then I would only do that if you started at Mark II. If you have VR or UR Weapons that are already Mark XII-XIV then it's actually MUCH cheaper to just make new Mark II beams and upgrade those. Getting a MX XIV weapon upgraded in Rarity is ungodly expensive.

My forum single-issue of rage: Make the Proton Experimental Weapon go for subsystem targetting!
Taking the cores up to Epic (2.5% per bar) for the extra power shifter mod (which I might do, because that'll push my shields over 75 at all times and therefore engage [AMP]x3 from the get-go) is where the money disappears, real quick...

other gears (warpcore) are huge dilithium sinks.
Use freebies/superior get core to XIV (with boasters)
and then experimental or betta to get the quality chance bar to around 40% (withboasters)
for this event personaly I would just get the core to XIV, if it wont become UR...
I just leave it for next time or never upgrade it.
Weapons get most dps improved from higher Mk.
Console less but still awsome,
as for the Core ...
[AMP] is great but ROI could be 10000000000000000000000 years, if you use "commercial" upgrade kits
So you should farm more romulan upgradekits or freebie (from rewards)
Maybe it will take a couple months or 1 year... then again you may already changed the gear hehehe
*commercial upgradekits are omega ones, those should be reserved for upgrading MkII or Mk IV Lockboxweapons with "kickass" procs (with boasters) , then you can sell those for big money on exchange...and then you will so rich and you can just buy a lot of boasters for the next event. Dont waste them
