Greetings Commanders,

The 3.0 beta galaxy servers will go down shortly in order for us to update to beta 2. We have made some specific changes to Engineers that we'd like to call out. You can read about them here.

Wow... we are on track... looks pretty good.
I will try to replicate my PD this evening: (Does "High Frequency" mean "Charge Enhanced"?)

Nice changes !
But as long as the grind for enginners is so long, I will not do them !
I have a full time job and grinding some materials for weeks/months is to boring and I'de like to spend my free time on a fun game, not a farming game !
Change the grind and this game will be a lot better for everyone !

Perfect, thank you!

But how will the reputation with an engineer work now since the progression is per module?

You gain it comparingly quickly with rolling modules, at least in beta. It limits how grades you can get out of blueprint. How leveling will work in live no one fully knows, but I guess it is pretty much guaranteed that you will get your Engineer to lvl 5 rep after rolling fully few modules.

I want to preface by saying everything about these changes is a lot better than the old changes.

However, what of Thermal Reduction? Focused PAs, Long-Range Pulse/Burst Lasers, and Railguns heavily rely on that stat. Distro Reduction was super important for Beam Lasers, as well.

I am also concerned with how "overpowered" Armored Power Plants are in the Beta version. No mention of a number rebalance on that. Armored Power Plant 2.0 is essentially LE1+OC1 on top of heavily increased Integrity. This is very game-breaking.

Ah, yes, thanks! I forgot about the top left bar showing the overall progress with the guy. I though now there was ONLY progression with the mods, you're right.
