I've setup some basic upgrade paths for most devices. Obviously, I'm most likely missing something, I need to know what looks broken.
Also, the upgrade requirements are pretty default right now, we will need more comprehensive requirements before we can release.

These are the bugs I've noticed as Kluth..
Organic Armor can be upgraded to any human armors (Ablative, Reflective and Standard)
Disrupters can be replaced with HCL
Bio Bombs has only mirv as a upgrade path and once u change to mirv you cant change back to bio (I think it should be tele kinectic bomb instead of mirv)
Psi cannons has 2 upgrade paths, both of which are human tech (particle cannon and emp)
Jump Drive has no upgrade path (Kluth should be able to upgrade to antimatter jump drive shouldnt they?)
Assault disrupter has 1 upgrade path and that is to the normal disrupter. After changing to normal disrupter you can only upgrade it to HCL and not back to assault disrupter
Psi Missile has no upgrade paths.
Tractor Beam has no upgrade paths
Reactors have no upgrade paths.
AM torp has the option to be upgraded to ICC Fusion torp
Elf beam has no upgrade paths
Mines can be replaced with any other faction mines
Mining beam has no upgrade path and has a bugged picture on the slot.
EDIT: Shredder missile and shock missile have no upgrade path either
Also once u change from psi cannon to emp or particle cannon, you cant go back to psi cannon
I can no longer change armor to human type. (Was able to couple hours ago)

On UGTO you cant swap reactors, tractor beams and mining beams. You can only change ecm, eccm and scanners. But that might be ment to be that way.

As my pres hasn't been upped yet i can only test scouts.
As ugto I went assault corvette
1. was able to change drives to AME drives
2. Chemical lazer first only changed to pulse beam, the pulse beam had the ability to change to either standard chem or heavy chem (didn't make sense to me  )
3. p torp has no upgrade path (should these still be changeable with missiles (? unsure))
Particle cannons only change to EMP cannons so there's no problem like there is on the luth ships where psi change to particle or emp
and thats all I can check till I get given some pres on beta lol
Extra: Once I switched my drives to AME I was unable to change to any other drive + Once I switched to HCL I was unable to change ot any other lazer
Extra2: Mirv bombs have nothing to change to

Found a bug in the mine swapping on Kluth,
AM Mines cannot be swapped for any other mine even though the upgrade paths are green.
This bug appears on both the Scarab and Instars not sure about ICC/UGTO mine swapping

UGTO Frigate can swap OK (according to Doran) but the same bug exists with all ICC Minelayers.

(1)It seems that a lot of ICC ships can't swap reactive shields for active shields. I've tried everything from a bomber corvette to a missile cruiser. And yes, I confirmed that the planet had the stuff required for the swap. I've seen this mentioned before, but not that it affected so many ships. It displays the upgrade, but it remains red and unselectable.
(2)Destroyers seem to have some odd bugs with engine hardpoint graphics. Not sure why, or if it will work itself out.

Did you turn your shields off before trying to swap for active shields?
Shields can be switched off by pressing ctrl + s and must be off like the engines in order to be swaped.

My brain would like to apologize for that last post, as it seems to have been made by the body while the brain was sleeping.
Thanks Nim, I really shouldn’t have missed that.
