Try first downloading KotOR Tool (http://kotortool.starwarsknights.com/)
Then go into your override or wherever the pike mod is installed, right click on the .uti files, make it open with KotOR Tool, open it in KotOR Tool, go to the properties tab, then double click the asterisk (*) and choose whatever feature you want from the first box. Now, if you want this to require an in-game upgrade, go to the last box "Upgrade required to activate" and choose from the list of items. Do this as many times as you want by going double clicking the asterisk. I believe this is the only way to do it. Perhaps someone can find a simpler way.
