In the Bio of this guy, it states "Develop your relationship with him to learn about another Engineer" like on all others.

Question is : what does it take with this guy?

All previous Engineers seemed to trigger another invitation at about 32% Level 3...

I'm curious to see who it is since it doesn't look like that Engineer he knows is community knowledge (I'm going based off of INARA). It may be that you need to get to level 5. Else, it could be a bug, or something else. Best of luck.
 
There doesn't seem to be any engineer beyond Lei Cheung. Here is an overview what engineers exist, 2nd image also shows the progression from engineer to engineer:

that pic assumes that there are no more engineers to discover ... wasn't there a number of 30 in some livestream, or do i misremember?

could be missing some other achievement, for exampel having traded at 100 blackmarkets, or highest exploration payout >100 k cr or anything.

Stated in the first paragraph that there are initially 30, with more possible later on:

" Initially we’re looking at around 30 engineers dotted throughout human space and we will be able to add more in future updates."

There clearly aren't 30, there are 15 they will get patched in as available I suspect - afterall most of the mechanics are already there It shouldn't take them a great deal of time to add more.

Do you have proof that there "clearly" aren't 30? I'm not saying you're wrong. It's possible you know something I don't, but it is also quite possible that no one has gotten to the other ones yet. Or, someone has and isn't telling.
 
why are you so sure? not questioning, just would like to know a source.

Because I'm at the end of all but one tree and haven't received extra invitations from any of them, pictures for the 15 we currently have were up on day one (probably taken from the folders) so there are a few possibilities

#1 The invite requirements are very high and/or specific so we haven't received them.
#2 They are in the game but are currently disabled.
#3 They will be patched into the game in future.

I'd love to believe that its number 1 but outside of system permits and extreme feats of exploration I like to think I've done most aspects of the game to a fairly thorough degree, if the invite was combat or trading based I suspect i'd have it or they deliberately made some engineers that require Elite etc, which wouldn't make much sense because the time commitment would be enormous and most modules already have a rank 5 available.

We are basically missing weapons and thats it from the major modules, Beams, Plasma, Cannons, Pulses, Bursts, Frags, Missiles, Torps, actually every weapon other than multi-cannons is missing, almost every other module is in.

If they are going to have 30 they will need to invent some stuff for them to mod or there is gonna be a great deal of deadweight, especially strange if you consider rank 5 FSD was available from two sources straight away.

Thanks for the information. Very informative.

You're welcome, I wouldn't be too surprised If i was wrong but all the evidence so far points towards us having access to the 15 currently known about so that is what I generally stick with :p

Given so many ppl seem to be shelving Engineers unless FD makes a statement or does something else, I'm not surprised much is not known at this time.

I've been taking it slowly; mostly just gaining access to a few Engineers that provide the mods I'd like to have for my Vulture.

i was thinking the same ... on the other hand, i got a little shock looking at my blackmarket network value ... and i was a dedicated smuggler in 1.3. ...
