Suit engineer around Colonia
- Thread starter noscar
- Start date
The patch notes said "nine new engineers in the bubble", so I guess that's where they are.
You're not missing anything. Only 3 have been publicly revealed yet, and they introduce you to 3 more once you gain rep with them. All so far in the bubble. Who knows, maybe more will be revealed in Colonia. I'm in the same boat.
Oh, Ian....I'm so sorry.
Oh, I didn't pay attention to the "bubble" part. Pity.
I haven't left Colonia yet to go to the bubble to get started on the engineers yet, but I'm a bit worried that's what it's going to come to. You could make a lazy in-game explanation that the engineers are new and that knowledge and tech hasn't made it to the frontier of Colonia yet, but in practice, frontiers are where those off-the-cuff new approaches and techniques are often pioneered, and suits have, in theory, always been in the universe; we just haven't had them in game until now.
I really hope FDev doesn't throw a 12 hour commute on those of us based out there. It's supposed to be humanity's second home after all, and there's not exactly a small population of players and in-game populace both. It's not the hundreds of billions of the bubble, but it's not 50,000 either.
Either way, until the engineering material reward bug (where engineering rewards given to you overwrite your current total with the reward; so if you had 50 cracked industrial firmware and got 4 more from a mission, you now have 4 total) is well and truly fixed, I'm gonna stay put and enjoy the sights out here. (They have indicated the bug is fixed, but there are still a number of commanders reporting the issue persisting, and some issue-tracker submissions to that effect.)
I still wish we could actually stroll up to Jacues and say 'sup though!

I'm doing everything I can ahead of time, I don't want to go back to the bubble and then just start doing missions again. Once I have my favorite guns and 2/3 suits to G5, and enough Cat Media and Push to last the trip, then I'll head back.
Still hoping to find a list of engineer requirements. I'm collecting opinion polls now but I passed up so many not knowing I'd need 40.
edit: It's never before I post something, it's always right after I post something so I look lazy. Here's the list of engineers and what they all want. To sum up the data requirements, grab entertainment media, opinion polls, smear campaign plans, and settlement defense plans any time you see them.
Engineers
The Engineers are secretive, eccentric individuals who can modify the weapons and modules of ships to exceed baseline performance standards. As they reside in Workshops on planetary surfaces, they are only accessible to ships equipped with a Planetary Approach Suite. The modifications that...
