Each Engie wants something return. They don't want money. They want interesting stuff. This lady is exploration geek, so she want you to *explore*. Find new Barnacles.
oh dear.. Felicity wants me to shoot Barnacles

After you deliver the 1 .. any idea what they want next to "level up" ? Is it still the case of repeated make/throw modifications ?

Personally I'm up for the challenge to find new barnacles.
Honestly, for me anything that involed hauling cargo back does not count as exploration. Mining, salvaging, trading, smuggling, sure. But if I require cargo racks and turn around when I am full, the activity is not exploration.
Is there an in-game way of finding them or is it pot luck ?
There is. Just look around.
Then you mean pot luck.
I am not an explorer .. I suffer from Space Madness .. so this engineer is not for me then.
I love the logic FD is doing here.
Make a massive update to the game ---> Make it so people can't dive right in and experience the content.
I'm not looking on every planet, shooting down / scanning every NPC. I need at least some direction as to where to find these meta alloys. Come on, man.

There are other Engineers who are not so keen on exploring but other things.
You still think they are some kind of upgrade shop?
LOL .. take your muppetry elsewhere Pecisk.
Why even respond to him? Mechanic is bugged, will be fixed. No point in arguing with the frontier fanboy forum defense squad.
Yes, exactly. I am a trader and I need this engineer just to help me to make my FSD and thrusters on my Trade Anaconda as good as possible. I tried exploring in the past and it is a really boring thing and definitely not my cup of tea. At least, until there are no bussiness oportunities on the other side of the Galaxy.
BTW, it is the same thing with the engineer upgrading the (multi)cannons. I want better weapons against NPC pirates, but I really do no want to buy and tool specialised combat ship, just to give him some stupid amout of combat bonds.
So far, for me it looks like "It was fun for couple of days in Beta and will see you again next year".
It is not bugged. Everything indicates clear intent.
From reading around the forum missions also give out rewards - perhaps one will give the material needed ? :S
Everything indicates clear intent? What are you rambling on about here? How would you know what is indicated. The barnacles arn't working anymore. Clear intent? No change or mention of this anywhere in the change logs.
For all intents and purposes, everything indicates a clear bug.

I heard that the engineers got so bored with the whiners in beta; that they have gone to work for the thargoids.
They left a note: It started: So long and thanks for all the f...
If you read Cannon thread, Barnacles are completely changed, and obviously with intent. Intent is force you to look for new Barnacles, and now Barnacles have turrets - someone's trying to protect them. It's a challenge. Yes, there are multiple gates on Engineers content. Ho Hum. That's how it is designed. I personally have no opinion on this one. I think it is clever idea to put up challenge. You might see it as annoyance. Opinions differ.
The barnacles are not the only source?
That report suggested that the new generated Barnacles don't drop meta alloys....at least all the time. Perhaps there is some RNG involved. I wouldn't mind this, but I'm not going 300 Ly out of my way in a rated 19 ly jump range ship.
The commander that found the new barnacles got some indite, and some other mundane mineral for his trouble. We'll see.
