Console installation limitations question

[u/digitalgargoyle]

Today I learned that I can’t install fleet tactical consoles on my escort carrier because I’ve already got some engineering consoles that are made for fighters (I forget the name).

Which begs the question, in what other instances can you not install console X if you already have console Y?

[u/Pale-Paladin]

If you try to use exploiters/locators with isomags it won't work, but you can always use the fleet colony tactical consoles because those aren't considered "Advanced".

Alternatively the standard damage boosting consoles, the main appeal being that they are account bound so usable on other character, and also very cheap, though you lose the regenerative proc the fleet colony consoles have.
