console / weapon Upgrade bugs I have come across.

I tried upgrading a variety of different items to see what the results would be. I can probably get screen shots on request.
First: I tried upgrading a UR elite fleet warp core from MK XII to MK XIII, result was no stat change at all in any of the stats. The preview for the MK X1V showed no changes either.
Second: Tried upgrading the ground Fed Type II phaser, both the blue MK XI and the blue Leveless version that came from the Amazon promo pack. The levelless version has no infinity symbol at all and never has. Neither phaser pistol had the option when right clicked to upgrade.
Third: I tried upgrading an elachi rifle from MK II to MK XIV, I did see a nice stat change but never got it to go to UR. The rifle is currently stuck in the claim window and wont let me claim the final upgrade. I am level 60 but clicking claim does nothing and does not release the rifle to me.
Fourth: I tried upgrading both old borg STF ground and space weapons. As soon as I right clicked and selected upgrade, the [borg] proc disappeared! It basically turned them into VR weapons with with only 2 procs. People worked pretty hard to get these weapons back in the day, and even if the proc isnt working right with most borg, it still does work on some of them and it should not be taken away! This has been the only time I have seen a proc being removed.

Bajoran Phaser Rifle and pistol
Tractor Beam mine Launcher
blue11 Neutronium
Bio-Neural
Thoron ground weapons obtained from the Delta Rep
-"fully upgraded":
Polaron Full auto rifle [Borg]
Nanopulse Batleth (Green)
oddness:
slotting the Jem hadar ground gear changes it to be like the Lobi version, picture, AND stats.
Jemhadar engine went from +2.5 WepPow to +5
body armor will often change picture
Glitched:
Personal mobility shields will become regular cap/reg shields.
the [Psi][Stn] lirpa you get from Hearts and Minds will become a regular Lirpa, but blue, with no mods...
the stats of the Counter-Command Multi-Conduit energy relay go DOWN, from 13.2/26.4 to 11.6/23.2
hydrodynamics compensator went from 3/3/17.3/23.1 to 3/3/15.4/20.5
Retrofit phaser bank displays 4.1 DPS before and after upgrade

The two ground weapons I tried where a phaser pistol and phaser assault rifle. The borg proc disapeared. The speace weapon I tried was a photon torpedo. The [BORG] procs vanished on the upgrade.
Now there was one borg weapon, a new one, the transphasic torpedo we get from a mission I believe that wouldn't upgrade at all that I forgot to mention.
I'll be honest, this has been an interesting test, but it does seem to have quite a few bugs.
My character Tsin'xing
For Harpeng the stats didnt change and both got stuck in the upgrade window ( clicking the collect button didnt react)when I speed up the process with dilithium. After an hour or so I could get just the harpeng out.
the zero point energy cunduit don't change stats from mk infinity to mk XII, but change some stats at mk XIII.
the spatial charge launcher it's rare (blue) and don't upgradable.
The obelisk set (360° beam and warp core) don't upgrade, as well as the tholian thermionic torpedo, the tractor beam mine launcher, dominion polaron weapons, breen transphasic cluster torpedo, wide angle quantum torpedo laucher, assimilated module and the bioneural warhead.
"Nope, just my away team" the trill replies before ordering a round for the bar.
so this one is a mod short now
The Evil Queen - Tac - Hobo
John May Lives - Sci - Hobo
As you can see.. I feel really.. *really* cheated... lol Stats are *identical* to the "ultra rare" .. :rolleyes:

They just forgot to sticky it.
It's always a good idea to put Bug Reports into the Bug Report forum. The official Feedback threads are really designed more for responses to the design of a system or mission, but we also accept bug reports there as well.

Lol, I wish my posts in the Gameplay Bug Reports got some attention this fast.
Im actually trying to find as many random items as I can in the game to try to upgrade. I really like this system. I'll like it more when bugs are squashed
can't upgrade:
-no upgrade button:
AEGIS
Omni-Directional Antiproton beam array
Synchronic thingy
green armored EV suit(mk 00)
and blue...
Klingon Disruptor MK6
Compressed Cryo Launcher
-"fully upgraded":
Kri'stak blade
glitched:
DPS of KCB went DOWN just from slotting it to upgrade
interesting, items with glitched names will have their name changed to match what they actually are
Anti-Borg antiproton have their mods rearranged so that [Borg] comes first, it's the same mods in a different order
Erm, actually it seems that mods get alphabetized in the conversion
If you have one of the old Blue HArghs it will get auto-upgraded to purple
Reman prototype shield becomes the Advanced version
And I tested the antique [Borg] gear some more. The ground weapons can't be upgraded, but nothing happens to them if you slot them. The SPACE gear on the other hand... THAT does in fact lose the [Borg] mod as soon as you try to upgrade it.

On the issue of the upgradeing i dont mind the cost i have dilith in reserve and dont mind haveing a lil more to do so gathering is cool with me. To all would remind you guysl that tribble is a test server. and nothing is set in stone.
To help track down these issues, can you let me know: where/how you got the item if it's something that's still available in game, and/or the name@handle of the character with the item if it came from a character transferred from holodeck, especially if the item(s) are no longer awarded in the game.
I want to make sure I'm getting as close to the exact items you are reporting as possible.
Thanks for your help.
In the case of people trying to upgrade the old [Borg] space weapons, they had obtained them back in the days when you had to go to DS9 with salvage (usually prototype salvage) on hand and buy them from one of the two Omega Force vendors. These weapons are no longer obtainable in-game but there are players that want to keep the ones they have for the novelty or because they can't find anything more effective (just an opinion). I am such a person whose RA Ambassador still uses [Borg] proc Mk XII Antiproton Beam Arrays and [Borg] proc Mk XII Quantum Torpedos. The proc is indeed broken, but when it works it helps add a bit of DPS for completing optionals.
To help you out I've still got these [Borg] space weapons on the following characters I transferred from Holodeck on the following ships:
Zourn@Ethoir
Odyssey Star Cruiser
Dreadnaught Cruiser
Long Range Science Vessel Retrofit (T5-U)
Mirror universe Heavy Cruiser Retrofit
** 3 more [Borg] space weapons in character inventory
K'tal@Ethoir
Chimera Heavy Destroyer (T5-U)
Mirror Patrol Escort
*One [Borg] torpedo in character inventory (I think)
M'tul@Ethoir
Several ships. But he is on Drozana and with the crash on zoning-in for him, I can't get a list of which ships have [Borg] weapons on them at the moment.
Just the info I needed. Thanks!
Did you try this?: http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showpost.php?p=19324221&postcount=266
Aye, I did, actually. I tried swapping them out with my captain and a BO, on Drozana, and after beaming up to the ship. Numbers remain identical. Doesn't matter if I'm on a ground map/space map, or if I have it, a BO has it, if it's in my primary weapon slot, or secondary.

this and several other ground weapons just don't do anything, it tells you it's "fully upgraded" already....
[Borg] space weapons lose the [Borg] mod, but otherwise work fine.
-winter event
Nanopulse Batleth, I tried several colors, none of them can have upgrades applied, even though they can be slotted
also... I've made a few observations after tinkering with this:
1: the first time you slot an item for upgrade the item gets replaced with nearly identical gear, occasionally the base stats change somewhat. I actually developed the ability to tell by simply looking at an item whether it has been slotted. (after slotting the mk has a slight grey shadow around it) also the item name gets rewritten. mods get alphabetized, and gear with the wrong name has the name fixed.
2: this conversion process causes the item to flicker out of existence briefly
3: the old [Borg] ground weapons, Kristak blades, and Nanos DON'T flicker. Thus I suspect the reason they can't have upgrades applied is that the game isn't converting them to the new style of item.

OK, I think I got all of those. Thanks for the info!

Should I just port over all of my upgrade bugs into this thread? I mean.. with all of the bug reports here and in the main Upgrades feedback thread there's bound to be lots of duplicates.

For example, a Mk X Uncommon tac/sci/eng console has a requirement of 9,360 TP to upgrade it to Mk XI. The Manifold and Prefire Chamber on the other hand (also Mk X Uncommon) have a requirement of 36,000 TP to upgrade to Mk XI.
To put this in perspective, upgrading these ludicrously-priced consoles from XIV Blue to XIV Purple costs more than upgrading an Epic Deflector Array Mk XIII to Epic XIV.

Hey Frosty. Open this page up and Ctrl+F to your heart's content. (Or, just scroll through with your eyeballs and keep one eye on the "Bind on Pickup" column. The majority of the special gear is bind to character on pickup and most of this special gear currently cannot be upgraded.)

-edit-
[Polyalloy Weave Armor Mk X [Pla] [RegHP] [RegSH]] says it has 0/0TP no matter what I do to it.

; Dyson Reputation Ground Set looses it's "Set Bonuses" when only one piece is upgraded.
; Romulan Plasma Stun Pistol Mk XII {CritX] [KB3] - Looses the [CritX] mod on Upgrade to Mk XIII/XIV/Epic
; Elite Fleet Plasma Integrated Warp Core [AMP] [E->W] [Eff] [SCap] [SST] [W->S] has 17.5 ->20 Pow Trans Rate, but no other changes on Upgrade to Mk XIII/XIV/Epic
; Elite Fleet Energy Dampening Armor MK XII [ResAll] [RegHP] [Nanite] - looses it's Base ~73% Resistances, on Upgrade to Mk XIII/XIV/Epic. See image
; Elite Fleet Adaptive Personal Shield Mk XII [Cap]x2 [ResB] [Adapt] - looses the [ResB] mod on Upgrade to Mk XIII/XIV/Epic.
; Console Universal Hydrodynamics Compensator +3 Engine and +3 Auxiliary Power Buff does not change on Upgrade to Mk XIII/XIV/Epic.
; Console Universal Bio-Neural Gel Pack - +2 Power to All Systems and +7% Cooldown on BoFF abilities does not change on Upgrade to Mk XIII/XIV/Epic.
*edit*
odd, just claim another one from the undine rep and it can be upgraded and claim normally but the previous hydrodynamic compensator still stuck in the upgrade window.
Hmmm, the only time I haven't been able to claim an upgrade was when I didn't have enough dilithium to skip the cooldown timer (and the UI does not inform you when you don't have enough dilithium).
