Well - to be fair, Guardian weapons are not a grind at all if you enjoy exploring the ruins. If you're going there just with shopping in mind, then yeah.Now, I think thargoids w/o Guardian weapons are pretty much impossible (did anyone get Hydra w/o Guardian weapons?), and Guardian weapons are a massive grind.
As to this point, there is one Commander on this thread who has - but she's pretty unique and most decidedly THE best Thargoid-hunter in the game.
Which is kind of the point here. She is the best because she has put in hundreds of hours of intense practice, training, study, seeking mentors AND Engineering her ship. A lot of people use engineering to replace fighting skill - which misses the point of Engineering, and I include myself in that list until recently. While I absolutely despise the 'git gud' argument, thinking that you NEED engineering in order to fight means you're not really good at fighting yet. The OP in fact says that specifically in his opening post, but seems to have missed the irony of saying "I'm not very good and it's the fault of Engineering".
