[[File:Engineer-Ram-Tah-Phoenix-Base.png|thumb|250px|Ram Tah's Phoenix Base]]
Pilots will initially learn about some Engineers through rumors, but as they gain access to Engineers and build reputations, those Engineers will inform them of other Engineers with a wider variety of or more potent modifications. In order to obtain an invitation to an Engineer's workshop, their invite requirements (listed as "How to Get Invite" in table below) must first be met. These requirements vary and some Engineers are easier to obtain an invite from than others. Be aware that attempting to land at a workshop without an invitation is treated as trespassing, and offenders will be immediately attacked by the workshop's defences. Once invited and having traveled to their workshop, an Engineer's services can be unlocked by completing an additional task, ranging from providing a specific item to turning in bounties.
When docked at a workshop, pilots can access an engineer's services through ship services. If they own [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey]], they may also disembark and speak with the engineer in an auxillary workshop near the hangar.
[[Elite Dangerous: Horizons|Horizons]] (ship) engineers' bases do not have a [[Concourse]]. That means they do not have Apex shuttle taxi desk, bar, and any Concourse terminal, so no services the terminal offers, like on-foot missions etc.<br>
They all have all basic Station services and also Outfitting with shop.
[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey]] (suits and handheld weapons) engineers' bases [[Concourse]] does not have most of standard services (bar, terminals, Pioneer Supplies). They only have Apex taxi desk.<br>
The bases also offers no Station services for ships for some reason.

=== Engineer unlock sequence ===
Initially, commanders are aware of a subset of Engineers from public knowledge. As commanders improve their reputation with these Engineers, they will unlock referrals to other, more selective Engineers who offer further sets of modifications. For example, to gain access to Lori Jameson, a commander must first develop reputation with Elvira Martuuk to earn a referral to Marco Qwent, then develop reputation with Qwent to earn a referral to Jameson.

Engineers that focus on [[:Category:Engineer Upgrades for Pilot Equipment|pilot equipment]] do not use a reputation unlock system, and offer all of their modifications immediately upon fulfilling their meeting requirements.
== Crafting ==
{{For|a list of upgrades|:Category:Engineer Upgrades}}
=== Ship Modifications ===
[[Materials]] are required by the Engineers to [[:Category:Engineer Upgrades|upgrade]] modules on the player's ship. Each blueprint specifies which materials are needed, and how to get them; material sources include (but are not limited to) destroyed ships, mission rewards, ship/wake scans, signal sources, mining, planetary surface resources, and more. Different Engineers require different materials, meaning not all materials gathered can be used by the same Engineer. Up to one blueprint can be pinned per Engineer for usage at [[Remote Workshop|Remote Workshops]]; pinned modifications can be crafted at any station equipped with a [[Remote Workshop]], but a modification crafted remotely will not contribute to reputation with its Engineer.
Before upgrading a module, an information screen lists the materials needed for the modification, and the range for applied effects. Negative effects are static for a given grade and will only increase with higher grades, while positive effects increase per grade as more materials are spent on them. Eventually, a grade will be increased to a maximum value, at which point the only way to upgrade that modification further is to advance to the next grade. As modifications are purchased, reputation with the Engineer increases, unlocking access higher grades of modifications.
Grades must be progressed through consecutively from 1 to 5;
It is not possible to immediately apply a Grade 5 modification to a module unless the module already has a Grade 5 legacy modification from before 3.0. Legacy modifications can converted into 3.0 modifications, but will be reduced in quality by one grade in the process.
While a modification is applied to a module, an additional quantity of materials can be spent to apply a single [[Experimental Effect]] to further enhance the module. Experimental Effects are only available at Engineer Workshops, and cannot be applied remotely.
Please note that only one Engineering modification can be installed per module. Installing a new modification will overwrite the old modification as well as the currently applied Experimental Effect permanently. It is only possible to obtain [[#
=== Pilot Equipment Modifications ===
Modifications for [[Suits]] and [[Handheld Weapon]]s are applied differently from ship modifications. All Suits and Handheld Weapons can be upgraded to have up to four modification slots. While equipment can occasionally be purchased with preinstalled modifications at [[Pioneer Supplies]] stores, the most straightforward way of installing a specific mod into a specific piece of gear is to seek out the Engineer who specializes in that mod.
Suits and handheld weapons need to be grade 2 or higher before you can modify them.<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/why-does-domino-green-hate-me.578068/ Frontier Forums: Why does Domino Green hate me?]</ref>
Both '''upgrading''' and adding '''mods''' requires new types of 'materials' (added in [[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey|Odyssey expansion]]), as well as credits.<br>
The materials come from 3 different categories: [[Assets]], [[Data]], and [[Goods]]. Not all items in those categories though are engineering materials.
Unlike ship mods, equipment mods are only available in a single quality grade, and require only a single transaction with the Engineer to fully apply it.
Once a mod is installed on a particular Suit or Handheld Weapon, it cannot be removed or replaced by another mod.
=== Method ===
Engineering suits and handheld weapons is a very slow and tedious grind. Recommended is to visit random [[Station|stations]] and go to the [[Pioneer Supplies]] store in the [[Concourse]] to check if premium suits and weapons are available. Because this is much faster and easier than engineering. Each PS store has a limited amount of exclusive, premium items per location. They are sold out if another player bought them earlier. However, the PS stores restock every week (usually on Thursday).

The following tables summarize the modifications, locations, and access requirements of all Engineers.

== Development ==
4 Engineers based in the [[Colonia Region]] were added in ''Beyond'' Chapter Three (3.2). 1 Engineer based in the [[Witch Head Nebula]] was added by the [[Interstellar Initiative]] [[The Enclave]]. 9 Engineers specialising in Suit and Handheld Weapon modifications were added in ''[[Elite Dangerous: Odyssey]]''. 4 more Engineers specialising in Suit and Handheld Weapon modifications were added to the Colonia Region in ''Odyssey'' Update 8.
=== Engineering rebalance ===
[[File:Elite Dangerous - Frontier Unlocked Highlight - Engineering Rebalance|right|250px]]
In the Type-8 update (18.08), an engineering rebalance was introduced. Changes included increasing the amount of materials one would typically get from completing missions, as well as increasing material availability at Grade 4/5 farming locations by increasing the number of sources of materials and in some cases, payout per source.
One of the more notable changes introduced with this rebalance is the change to engineering rolls. In the past, engineering rolls towards ship hardpoints/modules would gain a random amount of progress, influenced towards higher percentages of progress depending on your access level with the engineer providing the modification.
The rebalance changes the behavior of rolls from a random percentage of progress gained to an exact amount of progress gained, with access level influence still present. '''This means for achieving a grade of modification for any module, there is now always an exact number of rolls needed to achieve full progress for that grade, scaling downwards with the access level you have for that engineer.'''
The below table illustrates the new rolling system:
