How to get The Dweller engineer?

Ok, so, I got the unlock requirement open, and I know I have to deal with 5 black Market, but, I'm already at 1/5 and now after having sold some quest materials at two different markets (the same one I used first time, then one I haven't used before, both before and after abandoning the quest and having the materials marked as stolen) I'm still at 1/5. So I have to empty my cargo hold of illicit cargo per transaction, or am I missing something?
 
Those need to be 5 different black markets.
And sometimes it takes a while for the requirements list to update.
The count doesn't always update in real time. Just keep going it will tick over eventually.
Thanks guys, I was thinking it might have to be different ones also, but was just confused when I dealt with #2 and no update. Just took a while.

as with many stats, the counter updates with a jump to a new system.
Thanks, but updated without jumping, just real slow about doing it.
 
Can they be in the same system but on different planets/ports, or does it have to be entirely different systems also? Cause there's two or three ports with markets just in this system, would save time and jumps if I could use them all.
 
1) The markets can be in the same system.
2) The counts updated for me after logging out.
3) I saw a comment to the effect that abandoned mission goods no longer qualified, or that you might need to leave dock first.

At worst then, gotta leave dock, cause these goods are still qualifying. (they are considered stolen after all) Count is (slowly) going up now.
 
Apropos! I took and abandoned a delivery of 24 units of survival equipment and have been selling them at black markets around Deciat. 4 out of 5 done, almost have The Dweller unlocked. The FSD and hull are done. The shield boosters and multi-cannons are started. Now I gotta do the distributor and beams. Prismatics don't come until next week. PvE Anaconda is coming together for the Epic freebee account.

For my Epic alt account, I took a boom time delivery of 92 something or others, and only took 8 of them. Using Eddb io I then found 5 black markets in anarchy systems (just in case of a scan) within 30 or so ly. Quick and painless. I have the Dweller unlocked but need more mats again. And I never got scanned, npc interdiction attempted only once.
 
I bought 5 landmines and used inara to find 5 local black markets. Did that within the last week or so on my Epic acct.

Can be in the same system - different stations.

Yep. That's how I did it. I'm not sure if it was landmines for me, but I just bought 5 tons of a commodity in one system, then hauled it to systems where it was considered illegal and sold 1 ton to each of the markets. Job done.

And for when you get to the "must deal in at least 50 markets" guy - make a habit of buying and then selling back one ton of the cheapest commodity (often Hydrogen fuel) at every port you land at. Sol was a big help on that one for me, since it had (IIRC) something like 14 available markets in one system. I'd been well on my way to 50 before that, but Sol made it simple to finish out.
 
About the "sell multiple markets in one system", I'm unconvinced battling through gravity wells to haul yourself through several stations within one system is faster than just listing your 5 (or 50) systems on Inara and ordering by light second distance ascending... Jumping to a 10ls station is often a lot faster than traveling intra system in my experience.

Just a tip. Not necessarily gospel.

And elite's painfully inconsistent and slow method of updating tick sheets and stats is really quirky and not entirely impressive.
