L33t Elite: teach us the nuances of engineering!
in Elite Dangerous
Closed
As myself Engineer, I can answer all this :
1: What is it and why do you need it?
Engineering in Elite Dangerous is a way to improve modules of your ships and also add some specials effects. For a few materials, engineers can make these improvements.
It's the only way to exploit the full capabilities of your ships.
2: When should players engineer their ships?
The perfect timing for engineering is at the early start in my opinion. Engineering and first of all, unlock engineers, should be made on an ongoing basis because it can sometimes be a bit of a pain. Same thing for gathering materials.
3: Who are the best engineers and how do you access them?
There is no "best engineer" but the first who should be unlocked in my opinion is Felicity Farseer who can upgrade your FSD. When you have a 40 or 50 LY range, you can start exploring and unlocking other engineers.
4: What are some optimal engineering processes?
Depends on your build or your needs. For example, a combat ship don't need a long range FSD but a quick charge one. An explorer ship need to be super light etc...
You can find here a starter guide for engineering.
5: How does engineering relate to outfitting?
As engineering depends on your needs, it also depends on the outfiting. Some effects are only available for one specific module.
6: What advice would you give to intermediate players who want to take their engineering to the next level?
My advice is to gather as many materials as you can, unlock all engineers and pin for each one an engineering upgrade. Don't rush it, do it on an ongoing basis.
PS: You can find here a tutorial to improve and organize your material farming with Inara.

Let me talk you about my favorite spooky generation ship story.
Let's dive into the ...
The Generation Ship Thetis:
Daily Nasmyth: Six Years On, the Mystery of the Thetis Persists
Six years ago, Thetis became the scene of an unexplained tragedy.
This peaceful generational vessel, which employed many people from Sekhemet, suffered a strange attack that forced its passengers to kill each other. To this day, the cause and perpetrator remain a mystery.
The area around Thetis remains abandoned and dangerous. The authorities strongly advise against any exploration, fearing that the original threat is still present.
Here's one of the security log right before the disaster happen:
I encourage you to check out this incredible story for yourself. You can also, if you wish, embark on The Echo of Thetis adventure to immerse yourself in this horrific tale.
