Engineers' Secret Campaigns to Influence Systems

[Schmack]

The engineers are, in my opinion, the most interesting characters in the game. I don't know which side of the line they fall on, as far as good/evil. Until now they have served as place holders for a crafting system that enables and encourages power creep in ships and modules. However if other commanders feel the same way I do about them, there should be some interest in them having some missions available to influence the system in ways that further their cause, no matter how disillusioned or destructive. Maybe these missions would help lead the way toward a better thargoid killing "enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of engineering aspect and plan that's better than random parties of pew pew here and there as the goids continue their trek through the bubble. I realize the Guardians are the "answer" but I feel they are completely uninteresting. Engineers, on the other hand, they are the future.

What say old horse? A mission board at the engineers?

That'd be awesome! How'd I miss this thread?

Be cool if there was even incentive to continue to do missions for them even once you have the engineering bits all unlocked. Not necessarily more incentive than to do anything else, but something to keep them interesting. I agree they are already the most interesting characters in the game.
