Upgrading Starship Weapons

Starship weapons automatically upgrade when installed into a gunnery battle station above commercial grade, becoming the same item level and grade as the battle station. This improves the weapon’s damage die, gives it the tracking trait, and defines how many weapon upgrades can be installed in the weapon, as indicated on the Weapon Improvements table. Weapon upgrades are installed into individual starship weapons, whereas gunnery battle stations use their upgrade slots for battle station upgrades.
