TLDR for a busy CM:
I'm currently unlocking the EDO engineers.
To do this I've taken a fairly relaxed approach of wondering around, playing the game and gathering mats as I go.
I've got a few op polls, 13 by playing organically, and a 5 by "grinding". Except it wasn't really a "grind", I was happily resetting an instance, then sneaking in, and working out the optimal path to take to check data terminals, with the occasional sneaky kill.
I'll finish that off soon enough.
After that it's time for "Settlement Defence Plans". I have 0.
This is after playing EDO organically from launch, now it's true that for quite sometime the odds of them spawning was next to nothing.
What I need to play organically is to know roughly where they spawn / drop. There isn't anything in game to tell me this.
It might be that I need to go to military bases or something? But if the spawn rate is low, then just turning up and looting 1 time means I might not get confirmation that I'm on the correct track.
So maybe I need to loot a base several times, but then I still might not know if I'm doing this the right way.
Other have informed me that I need to find a crashed satellite, and keep on relogging. Eventually I'll get some.
I think it would be better if the game tells a player where to get items, (like for ship mats). Let data be tradeable, and have an intermediate "rep" system for EDO engineers.
Rep system would work like this:
SDFs +10 point of rep each,
some other data + 5.
Doing missions for the eng +1.
When you get to 100 or whatever the engineer unlocks.
Tonight I shall finish getting the op polls, then I'm going to find a crashed satellite..
- I don't know where to get EDO engineer mats from, the game doesn't tell me. (unlike ship mats)
- Trading data would help stop the grind. (like the ship mats)
- A rep system would allow players to do what they like to unlock engineers - while nudging them to other areas of the game.
