Upgrading the rarity of reputation gear does not increase the base statistics

I have encountered an issue when trying to upgrade reputation weapons and starship components.
Contrary to other reputation gear, when they are upgraded to Ultra-Rare or Epic, the base stats are not improved.
For example,
- A Proton Stabilizer Mk XIV VR console has its Starship EPS and Proton Weapon Damage Increase in the possible results info which is normal compared to the usual console upgrade paths
- A Gravimetric Torpedo Launcher Mk XIV VR has its damage reduced from 5928.5 to 5827.1 according to the possible results info so this is actually a regression
- A Ultra-Rare Adapted M.A.C.O. Covariant Shield Array mk XIV [Ap] has 11467.2 Maxixum Shield capacity. The possible result gives an Epic version with the exact same stats
So, I remember a patch notes from a few month ago that said that the difference between MK XII, XIII and XIV had been increased to make the upgrade worth it. Have reputation starship components and weapons have been forgotten ??
What would be the point of upgrading a starship component beyond Ultra-Rare if there is no stats increase???

However, going from VR to UR or even epic will grant more mods to the item(s), and, depending on the exact mod, might or might not receive extra stat increases.
Since most weapons get a combo of ACC and DMG as their epic mod, the weapon will reflect that slight stat increase during the upgrade process.
