or you know.. maybe the problem isn't the game, it's the players playing it wrong. It's a long term game and some people can't get that through their heads. 50 hours is nothing. Maybe instead of focusing on getting engineer upgrades you should be playing the rest of the game, and as you do that, pick up materials here and there and over time collect what is needed for an upgrade. Maybe it takes months. That's fine. There are plenty of things in the game that should take months if not years to accomplish. All this crying about spending dozens of hours and getting nothing is just proving that you dont know how to play the game, and probably shouldn't be playing it.
