engineers

Hello, I’d like to share some thoughts on how to improve the overall gameplay experience, particularly when it comes to colonization and life outside the bubble.Recently, I’ve seen players build impressive deep space outposts — some thousands of light-years away from the core systems. Thanks to...

Hello fellow Cmdrs! Before the last update i had delivered 8 settlement defense plans to Hero Ferrari for the Wellington Beck unlock. After the update, as you surely know, i need only 5. In the Cmdr Chronic is also mentioned that i need 5 and have delivered 8. No Wellington Beck, no invitation...

This is weird, although I'm not complaining: I've recently started a second CMDR. While trying to travel 300 ly away from my start location to unlock Elvira Martuuk, I suddenly got messages from both Martuuk and the Dweller welcoming me to their bases, complete with grade 1 access. Firstly, I...

In the hype for Starfield I decided to download Elite Dangerous again, and a few minutes later I realized why I had uninstalled it before: it was extremely boring and tedious having to make engineers. I wanted to be able to play exploring, or fighting ships and Thargoid, but without engineers...

Well particularly high grade... but lately, just in gneneral. I remember these things popping up just about everywhere no matter where you were or what you are doing but nowadays i cant seem to find any whatsoever? Sometimes i will get like one or two in a system or something like that but then...

Pre-face: The are a lot of FCs parked in systems of high interest (e.g. in engineer systems, crystal shard sites, or at the Peak). Some of them do not move at all during an extended period of time (months), and do not offer any service for the public (or the owner). Some of them are simply...

In horizons we got some sort PIN function for blueprints. Why there is no that function for Odyssey? Every time i want to upgrade my suit or weapon i take a picture of materials that i need to find, rather press "PIN button". Great example Fallout 4. It has "PIN button", if you use it, every...

Anyone else having trouble getting the UI to allow the passing of Genetic Repair Meds since update 6.1? I had previously managed to pass 4 prior to update 6. The arrows are just not accepting a click, and thus I can't get his referral.

I have an issue where a bookmark for an engineers settlement will appear in the settlement tab and and a different engineers will only appear in the systems tab, I've tried to delete and bookmark them again but this seems to do the same but with different engineers appearing in different...

If Oddy is going to remain as grindy as it is right now, the least FDev can do to help with the issue of going to a Ground Engineer to upgrade their equipment is to implement 2 TINY changes to the Engie Bases. Put a Pioneer Supplies shop in the base, so folks can upgrade their equipment in case...

Fdev copied 3 engineers and 2 look identical. Some are nothing like their Horizons versions such as Lei Cheung. See this thread by oomcommander.

I cannot even fathom right now... WHO thought this was a good idea? And why? Also, permanent upgrades that can't be swapped? The hell are they slotted in with? Old-school superglue? This is pretty sad to see. So now you're re-adding tedium that EVERYONE hated in the first place, and offering no...

Title, basically. As I've not noticed any significant damage falloff with the pistol or sniper. Haven't used the rifle much as the damage is a bit too low for my liking, although the falloff is definitely noticeable on the shotgun. So, yeah. Does anyone know?

So trying to unlock Hero and Tera. I've done around 30 ground conflict zones, and today did at least 6 heists on the ground also. Nothing, logged out went to another system and nothing, still both greyed out. Am I missing something here or are these engineers bugged? :(

Allow players to sell engineered modules to stations or to other players via fleet carriers for high prices. If someone wants an engineered module but doesn't want to collect materials and engineer it themselves, they can go to someone's carrier and buy the module ready there. It's a win-win...

Hi :) So, I've not posted to a forum before...let alone this one...so if I commit a faux-pas please let me know. Anyway! My question concerns what happens to an engineered (enhanced) module if you replace that module with another. Do you have to get the new module done as well? Or does the...

Greetings Commanders! I just fully A-rated my Conda and, as the title suggests, I am wondering what I should go into first - engineering or Guardian technology? I don't mind some grinding. Which should I do first? Which requires more time? Which is most effective? Sorry if this was posted...

If someone wants to go to colonia that is fine and admirable, yet not everyone does. And with all the grind in ED, asking me to go to Colonia to get me G4-Shieldcells is a bit much to ask ... Surely I could just pin the recipe and get the experimental somewhere in the bubble but will I then have...

Clean drives don't really seem to help much with what they are "supposed" to do. The increase to thermal spread is counteracted by the increase in power draw, which leads a near insignificant change. All you end up with is a marginally faster ship with significantly increased power requirements...

1. Allow Empire and Federation associated powerplay activities to contribute to the Empire or Federation rank grinds for ship access. 2. DRASTICALLY increase merit gain from all sources (and add more sources) so that the merit grind for rating 5 is actually even remotely worth it for every...

While Engineers were improved in 3.0, the actual logic behind them bothers me to this day, and I really wish Frontier had implemented an entirely different system. Engineers feel like a copy-n-paste of the crafting system in games like ESO. In that game, you "farm" materials - plants for...

The addition of raw engineering materials to mission rewards would help cut out a lot of the griping over grinding in the game. Material grade offered could be linked to mission ranking, and with the traders even getting lower grades of materials that can be traded up could make for a happier...

something needs to be done.. some group or faction is giving the middle finger to the ENTIRE Elite community by doing everything they can to keep the system in Lockdown. I know many of us who bounty hunt there a lot to try and keep it down but what we can do is limited compared to what the...

As we know, FDev claimed to have "buffed" HGE's a while back. Then a week later they were stealth nerfed back to a worse a spawn rate than before. Maybe stick to them being a little more common and have more players actively playing the game, and less getting miffed that they can't ever find...

... is a damn smart move. I must say that i really like the ability to have several modules or weapons engineered the same identical way. And i appreciate the new way of personalization by the experimental effects. Thanks FD.

It's always been a little frustrating trying to plot a route between engineers, especially right after picking up a new ship and outfitting it when everything needs to be engineered. So I made a little chart to see the distances between all engineers. Presented for your consideration: The ED...

I have 3 efficient beam lasers g5 with thermal vent on my vette (2x medium ×1 large) and for some reason only the large beam has changed its color to Orange and the others haven't? Is this a glitch or this is how it's supposed to be?

Just a quick issue i'd like to raise concerning emmisive rounds. Every other effect has a very short timer, why is it that emmisive lasts for pushing 25/30 seconds? This effect as it stands breaks any sort of SR builds any player can come up with. Now im not saying its a bad effect here, but it...

Currently we have the following modes in the game: a) Open b) Player Group c) Solo The idea is to add one new mode: Open Legacy with an optional mode of Legacy Player Groups The Open Legacy mode would be a duplicate of the current Open mode, however restricted to content available within the...

So why dont engineers take into account the size of the module their engineering? Would make perfect sense to me that a class 1A shield generator should take less mats to engineer to G5 than a 8A prismatic shield generator. Just seems like a one size fits all system where a little bit of...

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET MODIFIED EMBEDDED FIRMWARE THERES NO DAMN WAY THE ONLY WAY 2 GET EM IS THROUGH MULTI CREW MISSIONS AND I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS WHO PLAY THIS GAME PLEASE HELP!

o7 I have grade 5 acces to Hera Tani, have used her before for Power plants, but now ive come back to the game, and i ended up needing more power for the chieftain, so i go to Hera Tani, and i only have grade 1? When i look at the engineers tab, it says i have grade 5 acces, but when i try to...

Greetings CMDRs! So I’m 30,000 LY from home right now, a little over a quarter of the way into circumnavigating the Milky Way counter-clockwise. Point being, I’m too far to try out the new engineering since 3.0 dropped. I apologize if another forum addresses this but I couldn’t find anything...

The new engineer modification informations are really smal and hard to read, do you plan on making them bigger ? Example

Hi, Well this is v odd. My thrusters work fine when I am cruising around space in or out of hyper cruise unless I am aproaching an orbiting space port or have just entered the system and want to refuel at its star. Then the ship refuses to slow down and blasts past the target. I have checked...

+70% more damage?! Why would anyone choose anything else? Nothing comes close. I consider this a really poor design decision as it kills variety. Or is there something here I just do not see or understand?

Imagine for a moment you intend to purchase a high performance sports car. Or perhaps a truck that specializes in hauling heavy loads, or long hauling, perhaps for your fleet. You purchase the vehicle. But it still requires modifications in order to fill its specific role to the best of its...

As a leader of a major player group, I'd like to bring the voice of around 500 people. The material trader is a much needed step in the right direction towards eliminating a significant portion of the grind with engineers. We really appreciate this, a lot. But I'd like to point out that the...

Thanks to not all of the Elite community being rich enough to get the Horizons expansion on a dime, the game's MMO (not so much MSO) aspects such as Open Play have quickly and obviously become pay-to-play. Due to this, nearly everyone who does not have access to the ability to come into contact...
