Missing engineer

Prior to the new update and engineering process, I deliberatly took the time and made aquaintance with numerious engineer's, some of which unlocked other in which case I made aquaintance with them also. T'was my plan to wait until after the new process was in place, thus giving me a chance to figure out and obtain as many of the various materials I would need to start some serioius engineering. To assit me in my endevor manily because there are so many. I deliberatly utilize inara site to keep track of them via the page designed for engineering reputation. Thus I've got a record of each and every one and our relationships.

Been engineering now for a couple of weeks and doing pretty good, however, I seem to have lost Mr. Turner. He's no where to be found. Checked my records and indeed he was listed as an aquaintance. I switch from open to solo, and then back again, which didn't help. I rebooted the ps4 and started ED again, to no availe. Mr. Turner is just gone.

I filled out my first ticket, reckon I'll have to wait and see just what FDev can or cannot do about it. I'm courious as to if anyone else is missing one or more of their engineers, since the new update or any of the current patches that followed.

Did you have him unlocked?

You need to give him 50 bromelite after you have him as an acquaintance.

What does it say on your right UI panel, when you click on Bill?

Prior to the new process of engineering, I had only actully utilize Martuk thus she's the only one I had unlocked and it was only to grade 3. All of the others in which I had been invited, did I actually make their aquaintance, by performing their first request following the invitation process. Yes, I had already brought him his required bromite, but hadn't done any actual engineering utilizeing him. The same as the rest, I got invitations, got aquainted by doing their minor request, then put them on hold until the new process of engineering was availbale. He is the only one of the dozen I had made it to the level of Aquaintence with. That somehow disapeared.

I don't know if he was fired, quit is on vacation etc. I just no, he's no longer available. If all else fails, reckon I'll just have to bring him somemore bromite. Submitted a ticket, may be a slower process, but then agian, that's what the process is for.
 
Interesting... Bill has disappeared from my bookmarks post-3.0. I still have G5 access to him, but I had to figure out where he will was, then bookmark him manually.

Oh! Some of mine disappeared from bookmarks, I just assumed I'd deleted them. All still accessible from right panel though.

That's how I first noticed his disapearence, I had all twelve of the engineere's I had bookmarked. Yesterday when I looked for Bill, it was no longer a bookmark, so I went to the menu and though all the rest are still there, he is not. It's as if I never got aquainted at all. But I know I did, my inara show it and to what degree I had him as well as the other's whom I've upgraded depending on my new relationships with them. Bill just happen to be the last in my selection of mods to get engineered. He is also the only one that shares my real name, Nemo shares my FDev name. But not the same blood line. LOL
 
I deleted all my engineer bookmarks a long time ago. There’s no need to have them when you can just select the engineer and make his/her location show on the galaxy map.

That's true, but one can bookmark the actual base rather than just the system.

Are you talking about the engineer tab, in the right UI panel?

Correct, where as Bill used to be listed along with the other, he's gone now.

Since first posting this, I've been doing some think, though I really shouldn't ever do that at my age. Thinking about it, though I know he was there prior to the udate and patches, a few days ago I did get pulled out of hyperdrive by the Thargoids, perhaps he became a victim of alien abduction. If so, I reckon I won't see him again until he's involved in an episiod involving alien abductions on the History Channel. LOL

Have you checked behind the fridge?

But seriously Bill always looked a bit ill to me. Have you tried the local hospital or drug rehab clinic?
