== Upgrade process and results == The upgrade process itself can be started once an item received the required amount of Tech Points from upgrade kits. The process does not take any time and it does not require any additional resources. Additionally, the system provides three slots for upgrading up to three items at a time. The gear upgrade process '''always''' results in an improved gear mark as long as the mark can be upgraded (i.e. up to Mk XV). Also note: '''Common Installed Shipboard Parts Cannot Be Upgraded'''. Additionally, there is a (typically small) chance that the upgrade process will improve the [[rarity]] of the gear (up to [[Unique|Epic]]). This chance is denoted by the Quality Improvement Chance bar on the upgrade window. It can be increased by using high-quality Tech Upgrades or by using the appropriate Upgrade Accelerators. Rarity improvement has varying effects on your gear. Many items will acquire an additional [[Modifier|modifier]]. Others, like consoles, will instead gain a boost similar to the mark upgrade. The modifiers that can be achieved by rarity upgrades are however limited. Weapons may only gain [Acc], [Dmg], [CrtD] or [CrtH]. Some rarity upgrades will always yield the same modifier. Weapons, for example, will always gain [Ac/Dmg] when upgraded to epic. This is especially true for items belonging to gear sets. The corresponding information is found on the pages for the gear sets.
