I need some ideas on how to upgrade specific weapons as the game progresses without needing a whole new ship.odf file. The upgrades are done at a research center and should replace specific weapons. Here's what the upgrade facility does.
Some of the vessels are equipped with type-1 chroniton torpedoes, which the Borg have adapted to. The upgrade facility must upgrade the torpedoes to type-2 chroniton torpedoes, which have equipment aboard the torpedo to counter the Borg chroniton fields. The weapons.odf on the ships should be replaced, but the ship itself should not be replaced.
Then when the type-3 chroniton torpedoes are researched, the torpedoes are given a photon warhead which tripples the yield of the torpedoes. Again, the weapon ODF has to be the one that is replaced and not the ship ODF.
When researching the type-4 chroniton torpedoes, which have anti-matter warheads with the yield of a warp core, only a few vessels get the type-4 chroniton torpedoes. Which means that not all of the type-3 chroniton torpedoes are upgraded to type-4. But the ship ODF cannot be the one that is replaced.
Any ideas on how this can be accomplished? By the way, the counter for the chroniton field is an anti-chroniton or amion field. The type-2 and up chroniton torpedoes will Emmit anti-chroniton and amion particles to counter the Borg chroniton field. Fail-safes are in place to make sure that the field doesn't accidentally counter the torpedo!

chroniton torpedoes are defeated by temporal shields, not chroniton fields.

The trick is to match the temporal variance of your shields to the temporal variance of the torpedo. But some chroniton torpedoes are equipped with sensors that scan the temporal variance of the shield and remodulates its own temporal variance a split-second before impact. Chroniton fields and tachyon fields are used by the Borg every time they enter transwarp.
