How important is it to upgrade ship weapons in Mass Effect 2?
Since I follow the XKCD theory of gaming, I'm just now playing through the Mass Effect trilogy.
I'm near the start of Mass Effect 2, and having recovered Garrus I now have the option to spend materials to upgrade the weapons systems on the Normandy 2. What sort of priority should I put on these upgrades? The existence of this option implies that there's some ship-to-ship combat in ME2, though there was none in ME1, but without any reference point I don't know if it's a good use of resources.

Near the start of the game, upgrading ship weapons is not that important.
It is only towards the end of the game that they are very important.
(The suicide mission)
You do go toe to toe against another ship as you rightly surmised.
In the last mission, the survival of your crew depends upon your ship upgrades.
