Engineering is a grind

[Sunyavadin]

I explicitly said that if someone is telling the op that they have engineered their ship in 'just a few hours' then they are either lying or they already have a number of assets in place. those assets being a mix of ready gathered materials, and unlocked engineers.

As everyone who has commented on my post to date has admitted that they had unlocked engineers and materials gathered already then clearly that falls within the options i listed.

Said it before, and I'll say it again.

Yeah, starting out with a bunch of the mats banked, and all the engineers you need unlocked at level 5 with an efficient set of pinned blueprints, engineering's super fast.
But actually unlocking those engineers, raising your rank with them, farming all the mats, doing it all from scratch? You're looking at a lot of farming in several different aspects of the game.

Engineering's a lot of work, especially under the new system where it generally takes more rolls to get something mid-range and solidly usable than I averaged under the old full RNG system.
There are tricks to minimising the grind, but it's still a major investment, one which pays off massively in the end, but one which will require many, many hours of your time when starting from scratch.

Hey monitor's, getting out of hand, go ahead close it.

Report the thread next time and a mod will help (almost) straight away.
