Update 10 - Odyssey and Horizons

Requirement states:
"Complete 6 Covert theft and Covert heist missions."
AND, not OR
I did 6 of both kinds and I unlocked her. You are trying to do only one kind of mission and you can't unlock her.
I believe it's safer to assume I'm right.

It would really help if there was some kind of counter on engineer page. Not only to dispel doubts, but also to help keeping track of your progress, as not everyone is trying to unlock her by doing all requirements in one sitting. The fact that there's no such thing just proves how half-arsed job engineering UI in Odyssey is. To keep track of anything you need 3rd party tools or keep extensive notes.

Since the game dropped in May there have been many threads on this and in most of the threads I read it was stated at some point in the thread that covert thefts do not seem to count and only do cover heist missions. Many of those threads also had confirmation from many commanders that once six covert heist missions were completed TV was unlocked.

When I was ready to unlock TV I did only covert heist missions and once I completed six TV was unlocked.

I agree the requirement statement is confusing at best and as stated is wrong. I also think that since this was first discovered in May and the fact that the bug has not been fixed or the statement corrected is not acceptable behavior from FD.
 
If you just do 6 covert heists, the unlock will work.
That's what worked for me: I did just six covert heists - all selected from station terminals rather than mission givers - and it unlocked straight away. I never took or completed any of the covert theft missions.
 
What game breaking bugs?
Exactly. No game breaking bugs, just Major/Minor known bugs for one or 2 specific gameplays, certainly not the whole ED!.
I play every day mostly when I can, and on ED PS4 same FPS each game, same network connection each game (wired ethernet), same play with Combat CZ, CG, Mining, FC, Explor, etc, etc, only major bugs are PC EDO and this is mainly due to each PC is DIFFERENT.
PS4 all day please.

And what is this major bug- Shoulder Decals - OMG!!!! the horror, the horror!!!
I would ask for a full refund 'cause your shoulder decals are hovering above your shoulders!!!

Alright I'm givin up on the issue tracker not enough votes for people crashing to desktop after booting the game and have it dying at the main menu.
Reinstall steam ED ere we go 10hr + wait time for download
 
An actual counter that tracks progress towards the unlocking requirement. Something that most other games feature for ages, but somehow EDO does not, made worse by the fact that "do X of Y" is widely used in this game to unlock stuff and you're never really sure where you're at unless you keep an eye on your journals via Inara (which I did for this particular engineer unlock), the fact that in-game text is pretty vague and can be read in more than one way doesn't exactly help either so a counter would be crystal clear, and you'd be able to see whether there's a bug with the game not counting missions also.
The Horizons engineers have that counter, no?
 
Sorry, but that is major bull (edit: what the heck... you can't even use the abbreviation?!?). That is definitely NOT a reason for bugs. That's not how it works.
Pretty sure it is mate, performance wise, you need a new GPU each new game/update/gen/engine - hahahahahahahahaha, suckers.
Happy with my crappy old laptop for t'internet and good ol' PS4 for games at the moment- totally 'STABLE' platform (that is, until I abs need PS5 - not yet tho)

Edit - you can quite happily use 'biowaste' IIRC :ROFLMAO:

Your distinction of and and or isn't clear. It could be read as:
Complete 6 (heist and theft) missions.
or
Complete 6 heist and 6 theft missions.

In this case it's the former, but thefts are bugged and often (always?) don't get counted.

If you just do 6 covert heists, the unlock will work.

In my case, when I decided to focus on unlocking her, I had no idea how many covert theft missions I successfully finished. I just wasn't counting them before, but I was certain those were the ones I have actually finished, as they were easy, compared to covert heist missions, which I tried, but failed.
I decided to keep count. So I finished 6 covert heist missions first (those where you need to wait 3 minutes for sample container to open and then take the thing, without sounding alarms). No unlock at that point.
Then, after I did 4 covert theft missions I received message from Vesasquez, which ment I did 2 of those missions before starting to count them.

So in my case it unlocked after doing 6 covert theft missions, not counting my heist missions, or it unlocked after doing 6+6 = 12 missions in total.
Because it makes sense along with requirements description, that's what I assumed is true.

But at this point I don't know anything anymore.
 
FDev,

"Midnight Black paint jobs were adjusted"

...but now it looks a lot like Tactical Graphite, making me regret spending the ARX. Please put it back the way it was.

Cheers,

And still NOTHING in regards of Carrier Interior? Why is this taking so long? Several Youtubers have made it clear it's ready for launch.
And what would a couple of Youtubers know that FDEV (the people actually cutting the code) don't. FDEV have said carrier interiors will be ready for Update 11 - presumably they are still testing the various combination of new features that FC interiors introduce.
So unless the Youtubers actually work for FDEV and have authorised access to the actual build, and are party to all of the internal testing that FDEV are doing, then I am sorry but I will trust what FDEV say.
 
Ships & SRVs

  • Gold and black paint job colours were adjusted

I was hoping my ship was finally going to be golden with the Gold Pharaoh paint job, but not this time either.

The Horizons engineers have that counter, no?
Some do (where you deliver X goods) but others don't (where you have to travel x LYs).

I'm pretty sure it's do 6 covert jobs - either heist or thefts.
I unlocked the engineer and I don't think I've done any heists.
I started with 6 covert thefts, didn't unlock. Only after I completed 6 covert heists as well, it unlocked straightaway. EDIT - Actually, I tried a mix of 3 each first, that didn't work either. Before I did I raised this with Support and they confirmed a total of 12 missions (6 CH's + 6 CT's) is the unlock requirement - it's just really poorly worded, and possibly still bugged because if you ask 5 different people how they unlocked it you get 6 different answers.
