How do you unlock engineers?

[JudgementDayIsHere]

I've engineered stuff at Wyrd, 397, and Khun, yet I can't figure out how to unlock the rest of the engineers even after Full-Friending the Engineers. Advice?

I believe you need to reach Grade 3 to get the email.

Grade 5'd em all:(

This sounds stupid but did you check the engineer tab in the UI.

I've been there. I still don't understand how to unlock them. I've mined enough to unlock that one but I haven't gotten her yet.

Check the engineer tab you might have unlocked them already. If that doesn't work then send a ticket to Fdev. Remember check Inara because their are "tiers" so you might have to unlock another engineers to get to the one you want.

As Yminale says, each engineer needs to be discovered, before you get the meeting requirements. E.g. From inara for Selene Jean....

HOW TO DISCOVER
From Tod "The Blaster" McQuinn (grade 3-4).

MEETING REQUIREMENTS
Mine at least 500 tons of ore.

they have secondary requirements...some of them require you to be dangerous in combat. some require you to mine stuff....others require you to have been more than 5000 LY from your starting system. a few don't reqire anything other than grade 3+ from another engineer but many of them have other in-game requirements.

Wyrd, Wolf 397 and Khun are The Dweller, Tod "The Blaster" McQuinn and Elvira Martuuk.
The other two starting engineers are Felicity Farseer and Liz Ryder.

Yeah, I suspect this may be what OP is needing to refer to next, rather than looking to the forums or Inara.

The button for the Engineers window is found on the first tab of the right-hand screen, just below the stats and 'Holo-Me' button. Take a look there and see which ones you've unlocked. Even after being told about them (either from public sources or from another engineer), you'll still have the requirements for meeting them as well as their unlock requirement to complete before they'll start crafting modifications for you.

But given what you've said here OP, you should still have at least 2 engineers you can unlock, possibly 5. Use the in-game Engineers window to see where you're up to, and what the game needs you to do next. :-)
