The Engineers

The Engineers

The Engineers are secretive, eccentric individuals who can modify the weapons and modules of ships to exceed baseline performance standards. As they reside in Workshops on planetary surfaces, they are only accessible to ships equipped with a Planetary Approach Suite. The modifications that Engineers offer vary depending upon their skill sets and personal preferences. Some Engineers will be more beneficial for explorers, while others will be more beneficial for combat specialists.

Engineers and Workshops[]

Engineer-Ram-Tah-Phoenix-Base

Ram Tah's Phoenix Base

Pilots will initially learn about some Engineers through rumors, but as they gain access to Engineers and build reputations, those Engineers will inform them of other Engineers with a wider variety of or more potent modifications. In order to obtain an invitation to an Engineer's workshop, their invite requirements (listed as "How to Get Invite" in table below) must first be met. These requirements vary and some Engineers are easier to obtain an invite from than others. Be aware that attempting to land at a workshop without an invitation is treated as trespassing, and offenders will be immediately attacked by the workshop's defences. Once invited and having traveled to their workshop, an Engineer's services can be unlocked by completing an additional task, ranging from providing a specific item to turning in bounties.

There are a total of 25 Engineers who specialise in ship modifications.

Engineer unlock sequence[]

Initially, commanders are aware of a subset of Engineers from public knowledge. As commanders improve their reputation with these Engineers, they will unlock referrals to other, more selective Engineers who offer further sets of modifications. For example, to gain access to Lori Jameson, a commander must first develop reputation with Elvira Martuuk to earn a referral to Marco Qwent, then develop reputation with Qwent to earn a referral to Jameson.

Engineer Ranks[]

Upon unlocking the services of a ship-focused Engineer, a pilot can begin accruing reputation with that Engineer to unlock higher grades of modifications. Reputation is measured in 5 tiers, with tier 5 representing the maximum level. Each modification that a pilot purchases will increase their reputation; low-grade modifications provide a smaller reputation boost than high-grade modifications, and each reputation tier requires more and more reputation to progress. With some Engineers, reputation can also be increased by selling commodities, exploration data, or bounty vouchers at their Workshops. It should be noted that Engineers may not be able to craft all 5 modification grades for a module type.

Engineer Reputation Level Required Profit
Grade 1 Unlocked as soon as Engineer task has been completed
Grade 2 Selling Exploration data/Commodities with a net profit of 500,000 Credits
Grade 3 Selling Exploration data/Commodities with a net profit of 2,000,000 Credits
Grade 4 Selling Exploration data/Commodities with a net profit of 8,000,000 Credits
Grade 5 Selling Exploration data/Commodities with a net profit of 16,000,000 Credits

Engineers that focus on pilot equipment do not use a reputation unlock system, and offer all of their modifications immediately upon fulfilling their meeting requirements.

Crafting[]

Ship Modifications[]

Materials are required by the Engineers to upgrade modules on the player's ship. Each blueprint specifies which materials are needed, and how to get them; material sources include (but are not limited to) destroyed ships, mission rewards, ship/wake scans, signal sources, mining, planetary surface resources, and more. Different Engineers require different materials, meaning not all materials gathered can be used by the same Engineer. Up to one blueprint can be pinned per Engineer; pinned modifications can be crafted at any station equipped with a Remote Workshop, but a modification crafted remotely will not contribute to reputation with its Engineer.

Before upgrading a module, an information screen lists the materials needed for the modification, and the range for applied effects. Negative effects are static for a given grade and will only increase with higher grades, while positive effects increase per grade as more materials are spent on them. Eventually, a grade will be increased to a maximum value, at which point the only way to upgrade that modification further is to advance to the next grade. As modifications are purchased, reputation with the Engineer increases, unlocking access higher grades of modifications.

Grades must be progressed through consecutively from 1 to 5; however, you do not need to complete a grade to advance to the next one. As soon as then next grade becomes unlocked, you can immediately advance to it. The previous grade will autocomplete, so you will not lose out on any potency by skipping.[1]

It is not possible to immediately apply a Grade 5 modification to a module unless the module already has a Grade 5 legacy modification from before 3.0. Legacy modifications can converted into 3.0 modifications, but will be reduced in quality by one grade in the process.

While a modification is applied to a module, an additional quantity of materials can be spent to apply a single Experimental Effect to further enhance the module. Experimental Effects are only available at Engineer Workshops, and cannot be applied remotely.

Please note that only one Engineering modification can be installed per module. Installing a new modification will overwrite the old modification as well as the currently applied Experimental Effect permanently. It is only possible to obtain modules with two modifications under certain circumstances. This limitation should not be confused with the number of stat changes and effects a modification has, as these are determined by the particular modification and can be numerous.

Pilot Equipment Modifications[]

Modifications for Suits and Handheld Weapons are applied differently from ship modifications. All Suits and Handheld Weapons can be upgraded to have up to four modification slots. While equipment can occasionally be purchased with preinstalled modifications at Pioneer Supplies locations, the most straightforward way of installing a specific mod into a specific piece of gear is to seek out the Engineer who specializes in that mod.

Suits and handheld weapons need to be grade 2 or higher before you can modify them.[2]

Equipment mods offered by Engineers are purchased with a selection of Components, Data, and Goods, and a payment of Credits. Unlike ship mods, equipment mods are only available in a single quality grade, and require only a single transaction with the Engineer to fully apply it. Once a mod is installed on a particular Suit or Handheld Weapon, it cannot be removed or replaced by another mod.

The following tables summarize the modifications, locations, and access requirements of all Engineers.

Pre-Engineered modules[]

Pre-Engineered modules were introduced as rewards for Community Goals and limited-time events. These modules may feature two Engineering modifications at once, modifications that cannot normally be applied to the specific module, or unique modifications that are not offered by any Engineer. Occasionally, pre-Engineered modules are later made available for purchase through Technology Brokers.

Pre-Engineered modules come with some restrictions:

  • Modules with two modifications will lose their second modification if another modification is applied.
  • In some cases, Experimental Effects can be added or changed without affecting the modifications.[3][4][5] Pre-Engineered modules that normally have no Engineering options, such as Guardian technology modules or mining tools, are unable to accept any Experimental Effects.
