Newcomer / Intro Short Q. on Engineering Blueprints
- Thread starter MaxG10

Yes, but remember you can't remote engineer special effects
Well, just to clarify for others who may read....
I stripped down my ASPx to the bare minimum, hence no hardpoints etc. and went to Tod the Blaster. On arrival, "You do not have any modules I can work with."
Hence I can not Grade canons for my Class 4 FDL cannons without taking the FDL to him... I thought, but here is the way to do it.
I just purchase a multicannon for my ASPx, now he grants me access and asks for the class I wish to grade, I tell him class four and pin the blue print. Bingo!

Did not know that, thanks much!
Nice trick!
Sometime I buy ship near engineers to mod module with special effects...
There's yet another way: there are two 'tabs':
By default "modify your module" is active, it shows blueprints applicable to your current ship.
"Browse all" allows you to see all engineer's blueprints.
If you want to engineer a huge hardpoint, but the ship you are flying to the engineer doesn't house that size, then you can't engineer it. You have to engineer fitted modules.
Also note that, say, a 2A beam laser can get all it's lovely mods blueprinted and pinned, but if you then want a 2E beam laser engineered remotely, that is a different blueprint.

Er no it isn’t the blueprints for beam lasers apply to any size or mounting type.
But it is a different blueprint for each modification type.
I stand corrected. I could have sworn I 'printed some size 2 gimballed MC's but when I wanted some size 2 fixed ones, it wouldn't me engineer them remotely

I believe that is the initial question asked by the eng. "what class". In my case I purchased class 2 MC's because class 4 do not fit in the ASPx, but told the eng. I want class 4. Pinned it with the desired upgrade, in my case long range, and went back to my station 160ly away. On arrival I changed ships, from my ASPx to the FDL, and then I was able to remote engineer class 4 MC's (without experimental as factabulous explained above.)

You are correct - the modification was particular to the type of mount but that changed and you can now apply a pinned weapon blueprint to any variety of mount.
(I don't know when it was changed.)
That being said, I wonder, if you opt for say class 6, can you then get remote eng. class 5 or lower as well, or only class 6.
Geeze, that game is like chemistry, one door closed, three more opened.
No the class is not relevant. You can go to an engineer, buy a class 1 something - mod it up to G5 and pin the mod - now you can remote engineer any class (size) of that weapon / module with that pinned blueprint.
Thanks Para!
P.S. A 8 million lesson last night, after midly engineering my spanking new FDL, I wanted to put her through the paces and went into a High CZ, lasting an astonishing looooong 30 seconds before a spec ops made me go kaboooom. Rebuy, 8 million, thanks for the fish. LOL

lol - not a big fan of working your way up through the difficulty levels are you
Don't think I'd last long in a High CZ either...Hehehe, see I am just getting my hands dirty at the various aspects of this incredibly deep game. So while I succeeded with my Python in a low CZ, I thought well, now with my FDL, why not.... now I know why not. LOLlol - not a big fan of working your way up through the difficulty levels are you
I think I remember I read somehwere that spec ops are the top aces of the NPC. Guess when you easily take them apart your combat skills are on a level that you can try open play, I might be wrong though.
