The Mist Hunter title for the G-1A ship allows/forces you to equip a tractor beam cannon upgrade to the G-1A ship. However, the G-1A doesn't have the cannon upgrade slot. This leads me to believe you do not need an upgrade slot to have and use an upgrade if you can find another way to aquire it.

In the situation where you dump your R2-D6 with integrated astromech, i beleive you still would keep your EPT, and be able to use it, based on how Mist Hunter and Tractor beam work.

Basically, losing an upgrade slot is not the same as losing the upgrade.

We'll have to wait for FFG's official ruling, but this is my logic.
