The ship that the target upgrade is deployed to would be performing its action as a free action, not the ship performing the Fleet Action.
To play it out, The ship the Queen is on takes her Fleet Action and targets a friendly ship in range equipped with Crosis. That ship may choose Crosis to use his action as a free action. Conversely, using the rules regarding Admirals and Fleet Actions, a friendly ship in range 1-3 of the Queen’s ship takes the Fleet Action and chooses an upgrade on the Queen’s ship which then uses that upgrade’s action as a free action.
The action being used as a free action must pay its cost stated on the card (i.e. The ship owning Scotty would need to disable 2 shields in order for the ship using the fleet action to add 2 dice to their attack roll and any card that requires it be disabled or discarded would still need to do so in order to be used by the fleet action).
Also no action from one card may be used twice in a single round including other ships using said action as the target of the fleet action (i.e. Scotty and Sulu could not be used by their owning ships AND by the fleet action in the same round).
