Field Generators not Upgradible?

So I've wanted a purple MK XII Field Generator for a while now, but the price on the exchange has always been prohibitive. So I crafted myself a purple MK VI, intending to upgrade it to what I wanted.

Well it won't let me. I have the correct tech upgrade kits, even the superior from the weekend event that started today, but it won't let me load them. The window for the upgrade kit turns red.

For giggle I tried to upgrade another science console, a flow capacitor, and it worked like a charm.

So why can't I upgrade the field gen? Is it a bug, or is it because it's pretty much everyone's favorite sci console?

    To answer my own post, clearly a bug. I don't know why I even thought to try, but I slapped an engineering upgrade kit in and it worked. It's messed up.

    Because you can only equip 1 field exciter and 1 Conductive RCS.

    I've heard the engineering upgrades work with the field gens (horrible bug, but hey, it's sto)

    Prior to S4, these consoles were engineering. I guess Cryptic can't keep track of their own changes.

    Yeah, it's probably a simple bug somewhere. They used to be ENG consoles back when no one outside of science vessels gave a TRIBBLE about SCI consoles.
