Can't use remote workshop and pinned blueprints on old engineered modules

[Eretria Dask]

Hi,

I thought with the new engineering system that I would be able to use pinned blueprints to upgrade existing (grandfathered) ship modules. I am only getting the option to use the Remote Workshop if I equip new modules in my ships not with any of my exiting ones.

Does anyone know if this was intended that you are only able to bring a module into the new system if you take it to the engineer ? I was hoping I would be able to re-engineer most of my existing modules without taking my ships individually to each engineer.

Cheers

I believe to engineer a legacy module you have to visit the engineer and convert the module before you can remotely engineer it.

Yes this is intented and No it's not funny.

Make the legacy modules "grandfatherable" from any station offering outfitting.

Some people have reported this as a bug. Sadly enough it is not (link), it is only poor design.
Please fix it.

This is a frustrating gameplay mechanic as exists requiring grandfathered modules to be upgraded at the engineer base only.

In effect it is punishing those of us who used engineers in the past.

Potentially it could result in people not bothering to alter their grandfathered modules and instead just start afresh with virgin modules.

It's as if there's not much structured stuff to do in game, so small hurdles are set up to occupy / waste our time.
