I'm engineering some plasma accies at Bill's place. I was already at level 5 with Bill before I started on the plasma accies so just needed to get through the 1st 4 levels of Efficient Plasma Acc before I could get my level 5's. Anyway I notice that after I get the level 4's out of the way and do my 1st level 5 - there is a progress bar at the bottom (see the attached pic). Why? Or am I still at level 4 or something?
What's point of progress bar on engineering level 5?

Oh, I see that the more I hit generate modification, the more the circular gauge rotates round towards 100% full circle. ok. I think I get it 
You have already obtained access to grade 5, now you must complete it ... each row of hexagons is a level to complete, 1,2,3,4, and 5, grade 5 is the one that spends the most materials / attempts, I hope I have helped you
edit: once you have completed grade 4 in an engineer not discovered before, you do not need to make more attempts if you do not want, grade 5 will be available remotely

Yeah think it's just the progress around the circle, in a different format
Remember all the mats you spent getting to G5? Prepare to spend 3-5 times that many maxing out G5.
I think so far my best has been a total of 48 upgrades from min G1 to max G5. At about 50% you can expect gains into the thousandths place - 38.83 on DPS will go up to 38.832, not even enough to round up.
This is the part of engineering where four people held down the dog while the rest... let's just the poor pooch will never be the same.

I never noticed it provided a line indication also. That's why this game is doomed ... so much dev effort wasted

I don't see it as wasted - I saw it beta day one. Kind of hard to miss really. It even moves as you apply upgrades.
Kind of like calling a tachometer on a race car a waste of engineering.
It's a line ! The 'tachometer' equivalent is the dial

Looks like a round line to me, and that's all a dial is.
Not a dial.
Also not a dial, and it even has a straight line.
Did they get rid of favours with the RNGineer overhaul?
If you cashed one in that reduced your rep and could drop you a level.

It's for when the power creep continues and they introduce further levels of engineering and more rare mats to grind , just in case you ran out of grind.
Just how long ago did you stop playing?
Has been no 'favours' with engineers since I started in March 2018. (shame I missed that

I forgot to say it too, you can raise the reputation with an engineer delivering cartography data at their stations, and some still need favors before discovering them, if you refer to that.
