Is engineers all about weapon mods?

Hi all.
So far from the last 2 newsletter it have been focus around modifications to weapons and combat.

Will it be modifications to systems or other part of the ship that you use in exploring, mining , trading, smuggling, pirating etc?
 
Now that is typical for this forum. First one to reply cud not stay on topic. Sigh,,,

I'm slightly stunned that anyone remembers shiny bog roll. That has thrown me a little but I think the gist is the feeling is no attention will be given to anything but pew pew.
 
The only reveals we have had so far are weapons mods.

FD could simply be showing them first ? (At least, I think, 2+ weeks to go before Beta ?)
 
Has already been said that there will be engineering for all modules (not sure how that will affect docking computer tho :p )..

so in short, no :)
 
There's quite a bit of other stuff coming. But Outfitting is the big focus, and obviously weapons are what go in the newsletter because marketing. Map bookmarks just aren't sexy enough.
 
Thanks for the replies guys. Ive been away and have not been able to follow the news and response more than the weekly news letter.
Hence my questions since its just been news about weapon modifications. :)

We've never officially been given any information on the subject one way or the other. As you say we've just had weapons so far.

I highly doubt they've not done any sub-system mods (it does seem kinda an obvious dev route to explore) but it is a possibility that they will follow later. I guess we have to wait and see :)
 
MB has specifically singled out that FSDs are going to get some treatment in previous livestreams. They show the shiniest bits first. When you go to buy a new car they don't show you how convenient the trunk (boot?) is first, they show you the chrome and how many horsepower and the neato headlights. They get to the trunk and the legroom and the headrest and all that, but it's only after all the shiny stuff on the outsidr gets covered.

If you look at the OP summary in https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=244026

5th entry down quotes Michael Brookes as saying "Engineer mods aren't just for weapons" so there is more to come on that.
