{{UpdateMe|Missing information on what an engineer is.}}{{Ambox|type = Structure needs improvement, and contains content that belongs on separate pages.|info = The pre-release newsletter information should have information gathered from the quotes and added to the article instead with citations. The Engineers table should contain brief information and not everything they do - that belongs to their own wiki-page.
The '''Engineers''' are known individuals that can modify your ship's weapons and modules. They reside in planetary bases and can only modify a specific set of weapons and modules depending upon their lore and preference. Some engineers are suited more for [[Explorer|explorations]] whilst others for [[explosives]].  


The article is poorly structured and should be re-structured similar to other wiki articles to have a consistent and natural flow.}}
In total there are 30 engineers with only 5 immediately known. Each engineer is capable of upgrading a specific type of module.  


== How Crafting with Engineer's Works ==
To be able to meet an engineer you have to meet their requirements. These requirements vary and some engineers are easier to meet than others. Once met with an engineer, you can unlock their services by doing a task that they ask you to do, such as providing a [[commodity]] they require. Upon unlocking their services you are given a reputation rank to the engineer, going from 1 to 5, where 5 is the highest reputation achievable. These reputation ranks determine what level of modification you can do, with every modification crafted it increases the engineer's reputation with the player and they gain access to the next tier of blueprints for that engineer to craft better modifications.  
The engineers are NPCs located only on planet surfaces in their planetary bases (Meaning only players with the horizon expansions may access them). In total there are 30 engineers with only 5 immediately known. Each engineer is capable of upgrading a specific type of module, sometimes even giving a special effect (see [[Engineer's weapon special effects]] page).  


'''In order to be able to craft anything''', a requirement must be fulfilled for the engineer to accept you (for example, Tod "the blaster" Mcquinn requires you to hand in 100,000 bounty credit (not normal credits)). Afterwards you get access to tier 1 of the engineer's crafting blueprints, with every craft increasing the engineer's level until the player gains access to the next tier of upgrades of that engineer.

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


'''IMPORTANT''' when an engineer is upgrading a module, you will see the exact outcome. At this point you may either choose to accept the changes, or discard them. '''IF''' you choose to discard the changes, any previous engineer upgrade on that module will remain (so you do not need to worry about losing a special effect), the materials required for the blueprint '''WILL BE USED''', and your engineer level '''WILL INCREASE''' (meaning you can level an engineer to the next tier by crafting blueprint and denying all of them, which is useful if you prefer to keep your original configuration).
When an engineer is upgrading a module, you will see the exact outcome of the materials used to upgrade it. At this point you may either choose to accept the changes, discard them or retry the modification. If you choose to discard the changes, any previous engineer upgrade on that module will remain and the materials used in the making are used up. With either choice your engineer level will increase.


Favors: it is possible to decrease the level progressing with an engineer for a guaranteed special effect on the module.
It is also possible to decrease the level progressing with an engineer for a guaranteed [[Engineer's weapon special effects|special effect]] on the module.
