Engineers Have you opened all of the (current) engineers?

I have them all unlocked and grade 5 about four months ago, actually enjoyed it. I didn't think I would be very good at getting the combat bonds, but it helped me develop some serious situational awareness skills...(just wanted to be able to access all the engineers if needed at a later date and time)! 07
 
This is my Engi-List...
Some have to get the last attention.
But see for your self:

Got 20/20 open. Only Tarqin need a littel more attention.
 
I have opened all the ones I need at present except for Prof Palin. I would like to open the Sarge but to get to him I would need to do Juri Ishmaak and I already have good/better upgrades of what he provides so don't fancy risking losing them. There should be more than one engineer doing G4/5 on certain options. I would like to do the G5 upgrade on my cannons but for the reasons stated that isn't going to happen unless things change.
 
Indeed - Engineers are unlocked by playing the game, possibly experiencing content previously ignored....

Robert, I have experimented with about everything except piracy/slavery. If they introduced requirements to unlock that required those playstyles, I would not bother unlocking them.
 
All unlocked and levelled up except for Jameson, because I don't have the Shinrarta permit and want to let my Elite ranks come naturally rather than grinding one out just for the permit.

Didn't do it for thargoids. I just enjoy engineering.

You don't need to risk losing any. I always take two modules of the type I want to engineer, and then engineer them both up together (always rerolling the lower scored module). Sometimes I take an extra module too (then I can just transfer it when I get a ship that can use it).
 
I owe Bris Dekker 3m combat bonds. All the rest are grade 5. I do combat rarely and when I do it's usually for BGS stuff and I need the bonds so it's slow going. Not that I have any interest in engineering an interdictor anyway. It's for completeness.
 
i have all but three (palin, nemo and the one in shinrata)
most of them had been due to activities i already did anyway.

bris dekker got fixed, unlocked with 1m now
 
Back in April / May I did not have anything in ED that I wanted to do so I spent the time to get the remaining Engineers unlocked and level all that were not at L5 up to L5. Once I had them unlocked it only took going to the Engineer to get to L5 since I already had my materials and data quantities maxed out.

What took the most time was mining enough ore to unlock Selene and then mining the painite needed to donate. Next was getting the 50 sets of data to donate to the three different Engineers that needed the different data sets donated. After that it really was easy since my materials and data was already maxed out.

It is really the time to get to L5 with all of them before FD decides to add commodities back into the mix.
 
All unlocked and G5 except for Bris Decker and Zach Nemo.
Neither of them have anything I really want.

Now I've heard that Bris Decker "only" needs 1MCr in bonds, I might unlock her at some point when I get back from the black. I might use some of the exploration data to buy Allied status with Party of Yoru and unlock Nemo eventually.

The ones I use most often are Felicity (she's such a sweetie, drives), Lei Chung (shields), Broo Tarquin (beam lasers), Selene Jean (hull & armour) and Lori Jameson (lightweight mods).
 
It's all Thargoid tech, I tell you! Boycott the Engineers. Don't put that Alien trash on your ships!!

Just kidding. Well, kinda :p

I have not unlocked them all, and probably never will. I have, however, unlocked the ones that can do stuff I want done. I'm missing Juri, Bris, Lori, Tiana, and The Sarge. I may get around to them if needed in the future.

my fear is, that i need PALIN for thargoid tech at some point

and what others described as difficulty for them to gather 10 painite (took me 20minutes when i went for it), is for me to do 100 jumps out into the blackness and back, just to get the invitation.
And i don't know why - since i traveled to the thargoid-anouncement event location with an adder, getting the distance covered with my asp should be around the same number of jumps
 
Just Tiana and Lori to go. I'm shy of..... 22 Decoded Emission Data..... 68% Combat rank + Permit for Shinrarta Dezhra (req 4 ranks Explorer / 3 for Trade and see above for Combat).

And I kind of enjoyed doing stuff outside my comfort zone, it exposed me to game elements I may otherwise have passed by....but 50 Units of data..... meh, I hate to think how many I dumped before I realised I'd need them. I'm a hoarder and dumping stuff to manage a data/materials inventory just goes against the grain for me, so I've been trying to use up mats levelling my engineers to grade 5 after purchasing special effects on modules.
 
Dekker was the only one I had left and was not in a hurry to unlock her since she didn't have anything I wanted. But in the name of having everything squared away tight, AND having nothing better to do today I spent a couple of hours in and out of a nearby High CZ to get the 1 mil Cr in Bonds.

I can confirm that it is 1 Million Credits of Combat Bonds to fulfill the requirement.

I then bought an FSD Interdictor on site and burned some cheap and throwaway (to me) mats to level up to Grade 5 Access.

Now I have them all done, needed or not.
 
Opened 9 I think then got bored of the whole rng and grind.

If the thargoids need more engineer unlocks I'll probably pack this game in

I unlocked 8 before I got fed up/bored. Hopefully, after the release of 2.4 I can continue playing as I am now or maybe even enjoy a few new features. But, if FD tries forcing me into some new pathetic grind in order to be able to play without dying constantly from alien interdictions, I'll throw the game away and go back to my flight/racing sims full time.

And wait for the new FarCry. :D
