Two points:
1) Don't restart until after Tuesday (if you've been away 2 years you may not know there is a release then which changes stuff)
2) Engineering is actually less important than ever - now we have Guardian (non-engineerable) modules for many slots that are certainly viable for PvE. They require unlocks, so some hate them (no, you can't but them with IRL $$$ ), but they are an alternative - I kitted an Anti-Xeno Krait from scratch yesterday and was surprised how little engineering it needed.
(Now my prediction: posts about Guardian unlocks being a grind will follow I unlocked all 3 Guardian Fighters yesterday, took a 2-3 hours including travel time. We need an ISO definition of grind )
