Perhaps you should because you are playing his game...
Give it time.
Despite Enginner 'improvements', unlocking engineers is still a pain...

Give it time.
I'm going to assume that as you know so much about this, you've already unlocked them all!
Come on guys, we saw first-hand how Sandro lead's the game design from the live stream...
He flips a coin!

I'd love to see other star systems in my lifetime, too. However... tedium.
Guess I'll just have to settle for ED.
I've started to learn to play the piano over the last couple of weeks.. At the ripe old of 40 something... Do I wish I could just Matrix style upload the required skill into my brain? Sure.. But where is the fun in that.
Some things in life are worth taking time over, something lost on generation Z sadly
This is true, some engineers are insanely annoying to unblock. I took a couple of months break after doing the mining thing in a Cobra because I dont have 9349348 billion credits to afford a fancy mining end game ship.
Indeed. But, to be fair, it's not just Gen Z... more like a growing SJW movement based on "possibilities" rather than "probabilities". Dreams vs Reality.
Piano is awesome btw
One of my favorite Classical instruments, as well as violin. hated the search for modular terminals. The thing that really p'd me off was that after i'd unlocked qwent, rewards for missions and passengers were for...... yup you guessed it, modular terminals.
To believe requirements, possibility and probability in scoping a game are not related, is naive at best. Attempting to marginalise the human element of any activity system, based on closed system thinking, is well understood to be counter-productive.
If you want a metaphor...
To sleep is to dream. We all need to sleep, and then with hope...wake up to a universe full of opportunity ~ Rumi
This is about hope, not justice. You make it about social justice, and you're just fabricating a nasty existence, which is dependent on group identity and equality of outcomes, with groups pitted against each other. Which is a terrible notion in this world or any other Universe, dreamt up or otherwise.

Flap your arms as much as you like, but probability that when you jump off the roof you'll fall straight to the ground is high.
Naivety is simply to deny reality in the face of facts being presented to the contrary of the exploration of possibility.
Anything's "possible". Being "probable" is another matter entirely.
I don't have any problem with engineers needing to be unlocked, or the amount of time it takes.
But some of the unlocks are a pain if you want to target them as achievements to go after.
Take 50 DED for example, my main account had acquired all of them just playing the game before I wanted to unlock him so zero grind, easy.
My alt accounts are no where near and targetting those things makes for very frustrating game play.
So for me the problem is mostly just the RNG. Give me tools to find the things I need with some predictability. I don't mind if it takes a long time as long as I feel like I am making progress. Add some skill based aspect that can decrease the time required when mastered.

I tried something similar when I was a kid. Jumped off of the roof with a sheet as a parachute. It didn't take me too many tries to determine the gravity of the situation.
So you're disagreeing with the notion, that probability is a calculated permutation based on what's possible? I'm not playing semantics here to drive an agenda, other than an attempt to understand where your heads at. Definitions are obviously hugely important in this case.
It seems the expected outcome was proven. lol

I'm quite adept in "silver linings" as well, however- I'm also quite firmly grounded in reality.I did the same as a kid with an umbrella. Mary Poppins and all that.
I'd imagine quite a few people have done similarly, although very few would likely admit it. (never let them see you bleed, etc.)
Presumably, that's part of the way it's "supposed" to work.
You're supposed to just potter along, doing your own thing, and then you do something which gets you "noticed" by the relevant engineer and they crawl out of the woodwork to offer their services.
Course, gamers being the sort of people they are, that was never going to work out because (most) gamers like to unlock as many toys as possible.
It was always probable.
