Colonia Engineers

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Just going about unlocking the engineers, started with The Nameless bounty vouchers, which seems easy enough (although my exploration Krait is still an exploration Krait with 4 modified frag cannons on it!).

But how does one go about finding 25 escape pods?
And I do hope Progenitor Cells are available in Colonia.

Engineers - Guide: Fast way to find Occupied Escape Pods near Colonia

Here’s a tip if you are looking for Occupied Escape Pods to unlock Etienne Dorn in the Los system. It’s a fast way to collect them. 1: Equip your ship with a Hatch Breaker Limpet Controller, a Collector Limpet Controller and a good number of limpets. I bought 60. 2: Go to the Luchtaine system...

You don't need to go for the Nameless specifically, any bounty vouchers will do (I brought mine from the bubble- some of would rather you left the Nameless alone when it comes to bounty hunting). Progenitor cells are available and in good supply.

Megaship bothering FTW!

Megaship bothering it is!

Another day. Lol

I killed precisely 1 Nameless ship for a 104,000cr bounty, and tools mere 3 volleys from my frag cannons. Lol

I need to mine some osmium next. Anyone know of a hotspot around here? Is it rock, or ice? I've literally never mined it.

 

[Nadreck]

Osmium is available in the ring around the planet that Jacques orbits.

Yooouuuu willll paaaaay fooooor thiiiiiiiss!!!


No seriously, I knew that guy. He had his quarters two levels down from me on Robardin.
Nice wife, three kids. And you killed him mercilessly, for your own gain.
Shame shame shame...

I think I had a similar experience.

Ironically enough, I'd collected the escape-pods for Benny Hill and I was planning on visiting a Nav Beacon or RES to rack up some bounties when I was attacked by a pirate Annie.
Boom!
Cr129,000 bounty.
Well, okay. I guess that's taken care of.

He was carrying a KWS, so, no worries eh?

Used to be able to grab escape pods from 'Pirate Activity Detected' USS.
Dunno if that's still a thing, haven't been in one for a long time.

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Well I've done 3 of the 4. I'll finish the last one Monday, then I can leave this dump behind.

Osmium hotspots, if they exist, are extremely rare.

Fortunately it can be laser mined in large quantities from any metallic ring - just fire prospectors at rocks until you get one with Osmium in.

Still works.

I spent some time scouting around in an SRV.

This eventually netted me the required escape pods.. Also quite a lot in bounty vouchers (from skimmers) and more than 100 tons of other cargo. Quite a lot of gold and platinum, not exactly a great credits per hour but certainly a nice bonus.

 

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Well, that's all the Colonia Engineers unlocked, and ranked up to G5, and pinned appropriately.

Nothing else here, so heading home!

I arrived in Colonia yesterday on my alt account, on which I've only unlocked a handful of engineers in the bubble, with a view to permanently move to Colonia and make use of the local engineers instead.

Turns out I made a vital mistake which I only realised upon arrival - I did get invites from bubble engineers but didn't actually rank them up in order to trigger invites from 2 out of 4 of the Colonia ones. So I either travel back again or just make do with Brandon and Olmanova - meaning I won't have access to non-laser weapon, PP & PD engineering amongst other things I don't value too much.

MASSIVE D'OH

I'll see how I get on with just making do - applying a PvE playstyle and I don't feel the need to min-max my ships so it might be ok. But oh man that sinking feeling yesterday when I realised my mistake.

And yes I know it's about 4 hours via Neutron jumping, but I'm in no mood to do this again anytime soon (took the scenic route in my Viper4 initially, until the Eagle nebula when I got bored with making hundreds of jumps so went Neutron instead).

Yes..
Been having reasonable luck with Low Temperature Diamonds though.
Perhaps I shouldn't jinx it..

Taking the trip to unlock Colonia engineers can be a nice opportunity for some exploration.
I encountered only a small setback in my endeavour described in the post below, i was missing a full rank to unlock Petra Olmanova so i had to spend half a day in Haz Res to reach expert.
Still made some really nice discoveries including an ELW and about 200 first discoveries for Neutron Stars

Show us your interesting discoveries!

@Caramel Clown If I knew that you were "collecting" them before, I'd send a handful I found your way. Found a couple extremely fast with very wide but short cones that were just insane. Ah, yes. Butterflies in my own naming scheme :)
