Engineers Are the colonia engineers all grade 1 still?

[ratsidecar]

As title, have the colonia engineers started offering higher grades of engineering modification yet? Or are they still all at grade 1 for the mods.

Still all grade 1. We have currently put ~21,000 rolls into Mel Brandon's engines blueprint, which might be about half of what's required. We also put about 4,500 into pulse lasers while testing a theory, and another group has put at least 4,000 into armour.

The biggest thing slowing our attempts down is that you can only do one roll at a time, and the animation takes ~4 seconds. Absolutely fine for personal use ... really inconvenient if you need to give an engineer 900 G1 materials so you can go off and get some more.

cool, thanks for the info

Why encourage this grind? If people just did what they needed and moved on, leaving the engineers to rot, Frontier can either let them be ignored and mediocre or reduce the stupid level of grind.

I have to agree, this system is a bit sad. probably take 2 years for the tortured souls up there to max them out...

meanwhile, I will just be in the bubble like the rest of the sane folk with G5 Mats
