Ulocking Engineer Blueprints in 3.0

[Rakaposhi]

Something seems to have changed. I used to havea G4 shield upgrade and recently decided to change it.

I now only have access to the G1 upgrades, even though I have G5 rep. I see a message telling me I need to have completed all lower grade blueprints of the same type. I can craft all four G1 options. If I craft any one of them I get access to the G2 of that type. If I craft the G2, nothing changes. If I craft a different G1, I get access to that G2, but lose the G2 option I already had.

What is going on? Is it bug or am I wholly misunderstanding how it works now? There isn't a lot of information to read on how the new engineering system works. I hedn't even realised it had changed! I'd like to know what's up before I burn any more of my mats....

Any help much appreciated.

Legacy modules will be at G4 - you can re-G5 them using the same recipe from G4

Every time you change to a new engineering recipe you now have to restart from G1 for that module. Lots of threads about that.

Pay attention to the circle filling out. If it doesn't reach 80-100% (not sure exactly when that happens), that module isn't able to use the next grade of that blue print. You can usually go straight to G2 with one G1 roll, it may take you 2 rolls to qualify that module for G3. It gets worse from there.
