Here is what I used mine on so far.

Crafted a MK II Phaser Pulsewave rifle. And its now at MK XI to match the rest of most of my gear. I plan to go to MK XII later.

Crafted a MK II disruptor Pulsewave rifle for my KDF. Same thing now its at MK XI.

My Fed warp core is now MK XI where is was MK VIII. That gave it a nice boost.

I have plans to keep upgrading my gear on all 3 main characters I play. However I will do it as I get resources/time to do it. To me this sure beats buying all new gear. I love how I can upgrade them.

    I got my ground weapons prior to season 7, back when the top ground weapons were rewards for you know, playing ground

    These days you get like 200,000 free ground weapons for doing reputation but in the end with the rapid speed at which the borg adapt, you are probably better off with melee combat.


    Not that I couldnt imagine spending any. One day they add mods we control and remove the dil cost I am totally down for it.

    Anyway crafting timegates to level 20 running for the next 2 years

    Nothing really, I'm waiting to be sure the upgrade system is relatively bug-free.

    I'd prefer them to be unbound so I can sell them.

    I have useless superior ground tech TRIBBLE.

    I haven't been waiting and I can say from direct experience that it is relatively bug free.

    Top items so far have been non-rep ground weapons (ex. Undine Wrist lance, Voth Auto rifle) and, with this last round, fleet consoles. Those can offer some good stat boosts while only having marginal costs (even if you end up buying more tech upgrades from the exchange).

    So far I had no issues and I upgraded several items. Since its a good way to get around paying outrageous prices on the Exchange. From the greedy players. Or waiting until I get to Level 15 on that school. Which I won't be there for a long while.

    Upgrading is the way to go.

    Nothing, mods are getting adjusted and I don't want to get a ship load of equipment that is suddenly nerfed/updated for the worst.

    I'm just banking them. If the forums are any type of indicator, I'll probably wait for Cryptic to make their usual "tweaks" before I bother trying the system.

    Same for me really, although I've upgraded two consoles from my torp boat mainly out of curiosity to see how the stats improved. The rest will wait as far as I'm concerned.
    Oh, it's not broken? We can soon fix that!

    By "Relatively Bug Free" I mean "Actually works on the things i want ti try it on. NAmely the pre revamp aegis set which, when I tried them, were not upgradeable in any way.

    So i wait, because between that and reports of upgades giving no change in state and removing modifiers from gear.... I can wait.
