Basic system upgrads

There are several ships you can do basic system up with.

I have two ideas about that:
First one:
The upgards does not only enable the next level abylity. Like it is called "basic", it relates alls ship systems, including weapons, shields, sensors... It should increase the offensive and defensive value, too. And maybe the sensor range, or the moving speed.

Second one:
There is a new station. There you can research basic system upgards for all ships. Evenfreighters and construtionship, too. The only ships, that gets a new ability are support vessels and maybe the vessels build in the starbase.

First one:
Combine system upgrades with support ship special weapon research? Not sure about that, though I miss Chassis research enhancing sensors.

Second one:
Doesn't Starfleet Engineering already research upgrades for the systems? Those apply to all ships and stations.

Well I thought of it that way, that the systems of all ships are advanceable. And the support vessel gain a new special weapon without researching it... It is more logical that the special weapons of support vessels have to be researched, too.

Enhancing the shields is not a system upgarde for me. But you are right, the effect is similar, doesn't realized that first...

What about this:
Researching "Basic system upgrades" for groups of vessels?
e.g. Cruiser, Destroyer, Battleship, a.s.o.
It would be easir to manage than researching a upgarde for each single ship-class...
