Virtual rep OP as I cant rep you again! Thanks for the effort. Thursday is going to be a long day at work!
Summary of Engineers Beta Livestream: Part 3
- Thread starter TheSisko
- Start date
Powerful mines and torpedoes, alongside a gadget to prevent jumping. Sounds like a griefers' wet dream. With no planned improvements to shields it'll be interesting to see how such things are countered. A summary sheet suggests the balance shifted further towards pvp with little consideration to anyone wanting to fly a trade rig, other than the inevitable comments to "wing up or play in solo".
Disclosure: I don't fly a trade rig, they're already useless, this does seem to make them more so, though.

Won't the mines be helpful to traders?
I think Sandro implied that in the stream from last week.
So this means a total of 270 recipes to, begin with? I sure hope so!
They dropped lots of hints relating to exploration engineers & upgrades. The maximum distance from the home system that you've travelled seems to be one stat that'll get you an invitation. Several exploration possibilities - longer range, more fuel efficient, more mass. They also hinted something about scanner changes, but never filled in the rest....
They mentioned later the SCBs have a ton of blueprint upgrades, just not vanilla shields. Might be a payoff worth taking...
That's what they suggested yeah. And the mine seemed much more powerful than the torp. (I believe Shakespeare wrote that)
So is Mass lock mod a blanket you can't jump or you have to get hit by something while charging up? It just seems like once again a borderline broken mod that is going to seriously punish traders or explorers whoes ships can't be well equiped for both combat and their respective roles of exploring or trading. Also what about people who just flat out don't like to fight.

Hello
wow some change log. This may temp me back to Elite.
But looking at the power play bubble it's not changed in 3 months, since I gave up playing the game.
I thought it would of expanded more
What stopped me from playing elite was that I spent a lot of time to get our power to expand into a new part of space. Expansion was successful
No it wasn't. Undermined on the next cycle because it wasn't fortified and got cancelled out. It made me depressed so stopped playing the game.
So they need to sort that out on PP you expand its successful end of story.
Will have a play of it not flown my ships in ages.
see you out there, have a safe one

Thank you, TheSisko!! Much appreciated! 
Thanks a lot for the summary!
I highly suspect that's main idea behind it.
No module storage? Sad!
Thanks for the summary - caught the stream near the end and that list saves times.
One thing that I did get from the stream is that you're going to be able to increase the speed on your ships - awesome !!
