The '''Engineers''' are known individuals that can modify your ship's [[weapons]] and [[modules]]. The [[Elite_Dangerous:_Horizons|Horizons]] expansion is required to access them as they reside in planetary bases. Engineers can only modify a specific set of weapons and modules depending upon their lore and preference. Some engineers are suited more for [[Explorer|explorers]] whilst others for [[Bounty Hunter|bounty hunters]]. | The '''Engineers''' are known individuals that can modify your ship's [[weapons]] and [[modules]].

In total there are 20 engineers. Before you can get an invite to an Engineer's base you must learn about them first, either through common knowledge or from hearing about them through other Engineers. | In total there are 20 engineers.

[[Materials]] are required by the engineers to upgrade modules on the player ship. Each blueprint specifies which materials are needed, and how to get them (either from destroying ships, completing missions, and visiting signal sources, or from a planetary surface ). Different engineers require different materials, meaning not all materials gathered can be used by the same engineer. | [[Materials]] are required by the engineers to upgrade modules on the player ship.
