The Engineers have and always will become an important aspect of the game, so much so as we progress farther with possible thargoid tech being available to us as the updates come (so we hope).
The reason engineering is necessary for us as the players is because thats what distinguishes us from the npcs and apart from what kind of player you are. Whether you want to engineer your python mk2 to produce less heat with those railguns or if you want your mandalay to reach 90ly jump range. Players should engineer as soon as they can to not only create an easier time for them while playing but also to be able to do more as the game continues. Playing with just base stats really gets you nowhere and just makes gameplay more stagnant.
In my opinion theres only one good engineer, but thats just because i focus solely on exploring...
Felicity farseer, by far has become queen of the black and made it possible for me to jump farther and faster.
Discovery of Felicity Farseer's whereabouts are public knowledge. Meeting Requirements is Gain an Explorer rank of Scout or higher. Unlock Requirements are Provide 1 unit of Meta-Alloys. Reputation Gain, Craft modules, or sell exploration data at Farseer Inc.
Optimal upgrades from her are her increased fsd range and clean thruster upgrade.
In regard to her engineering for outfitting, say the mandalay in this instance, d rate all non essential modules and allow for a rated fsd to supplement her upgrades.
my only advice...farm data mats, enconded and material mats first before going to engineers. if they could speak they would say be prepared to have everything so you dont have to make an extra trip. it sucks because most of them are on planets in not all of them.
