I can see me going for those instead of using the new upgrade system.

    The new upgrade system is a vast money pit... So it'll take a lot of work to get Cryptic to cry uncle and give us strait mk xiv fleet gear.

    its not most likely going to happen

    MK X: 2400 dil
    MK XI: 4800
    MK XII: 9600

    by that
    MK XIII: 19200
    MK XIV: 38400


    now would i rather pay a straight 38400, or drop at most 10k on a MK XII?
    ....yeah ill take the upgrades

    There already are Mk XIII fleet weapons and consoles. But you have to use the upgrade system to get them.

    In fact, in my experience, these are the cheapest and most efficient systems to upgrade. You don't need to up from purple to ultraviolet, so it's just a matter of a simple level upgrade.

    Indeed. It also bypasses the FC cost which can be one of the more problematic currencies to get in this game (since its dependent both on resources and open donation opportunities which aren't always there for some fleets.)

    I don't think mk XIV fleet gear will happen within the next 4 months. After that either we get a new fleet facility that we need to level up first or we will have to upgrade our existing starbase to a higher level. No matter how they implement it you can be assured that it's going to be VERY expensive. As others have pointed out new ultra rare mk xiv fleet gear could easily cost twice or four times as much as the best mk xii gear currently available.

    fleet gear can be upgraded. why should they bother making them straight out of the box?

    They will think of something. Maybe some unique procs or modifiers that cannot be obtained otherwise.

    Not at launch. But they have said fleet t6 will come eventually. That will mean new fleet projects and it is reasonable they would add some new weapons/gear too.

    deflectors and consoles use two completely different upgrade curves, consoles are INSANELY cheaper

    I would be willing to pay more dill from a fleet store rep for a mkxvi stuff if i get to pic the mods instead of pot luck like it is now.
