Engineers rework...

[Jex =TE=]

To be fair, the new system make me stop playing the game.

Every single cannon needed to be modded from 1 to five?? Need to go to an Eng for convert a legacy module? Rate conversion absolute painfull?

No thanks my time is precious.

Oh I have absolutely no love for the Engineers, let me be clear LOL

It's the worst addition to the game and should be removed.

The old system wasn't unique, there was just a ton of RNG as roadblock to prevent builds converging on their optimums.

So I was giving way more credit than I should have - even more proof that it needs removing

I think Jex only wants engineering removed because he refused to buy Horizons and resents other players having better toys.

Not sure why you sold the old ships. Might have reused some stuff you already had?

Because i was going Cobra only. Some stuff was reused, most of the internals were wrong sizes from the other ships.

Did you need to upgrade them from grade 1-5 in one sitting.

I find it strange as well. He could have got them down to a grade 4 instead of going from 1 - 5. I am not sure I understand what Agony Aunt means that the modules did not fit?

As i said, yes. Because i already did the slowly build up once over years and didn't want to do that all over again. And modules did not fit - you can't put (for example) a size 5 PP in a Cobra.

If they are all cobra's then the bits are interchangeable. You only really needed one ship and some modules in storage.

Nah, that's a pain and rather boring.

Nah, that's a pain and rather boring.

I rationalized my "fleet" down to five ships, lots of different loadouts in storage.

Lucky it's optional really.

Just like playing the game is.....

Before the change:
2 x Fsd, 2 x dirty drives.
After the change:
Everything.
Is it fantastic? Maybe not, but it's really very much better.

The engineers killed this game.

The engineers killed this game.

Nope, people grinding for that extra 0.2% just burned themselves out under the old system. Under the new system everyone can be equal, if they want.

I found my first material trader in the CEOS system yesterday night.


With them it is very easy to get every material we need for all grade.


I got everyting i needed to finish my unlocked engineers thanks to the traders.
