engineers question.

[KRUPT]

do you have to take all your ships one by one to a engineer to get the modules you want or is there a way to get them for other ships with out actually going to the engineer? i cant bear the torture of travelling 400+ ly in my type-10 brick.

[funkynutz]

You can get modules delivered to any station (with outfitting) you like for a small fee.

And you can pin favourite blueprints to use remotely... So you can even mod the hull of your ship without actually visiting the engineer. Once you've got a few pinned from different engineers, you only need to actually visit the engineer to get additional special effects (or to change your pinned blueprint).

And you could use ship transfer to bring your T10 over, instead of doing it yourself.

thanks for replyinh :) so i can use my diamondback to do the jumps buy the mods for the type-10 and get them delivered? or pin and comeback to base to complete the bp.

but if you unlock the guardian tech , you can just buy them from a local dealer or your one stop shop at jamersons

Sadly it's not quite that easy. You'll be limited to the size of modules your current ship can carry. I recommend going in an Anaconda and modding a bunch of different sized modules for different ships.

Actually... Your T10 would be better suited to it... T10 can pack a 7A FSD, Anaconda can only manage a 6A.

If you've got enough credits, you could just buy another one closer to the engineer you're visiting.

if you have money you can always go with long jumping ship to nearest station and order your sluggish ship transported which can cost some millions and makes you wait some time but can saves you from jumping stock ship.

you can use carrier to jump all your ships that needs engineering closer to engineer.

pinning blue prints and remote engineering modules, experimental effects has to be done on engineer so if you need those you have to make trip anyway.

Okay, thanks for answering my question :) looks like i am in for a day of jumping around, hopefully my soul will survive all this torture! XD

After you unlock several engineers and pin several blueprints, you only really need to head to the engineers for the experimentals, unless of course you want to try something different from what's pinned (very common in my case for weapons).

Then you can plan your trips in a more optimized way, as few engineers can apply multiple experimentals.
Having a JumpAconda is great as it can carry pretty much every module type size, even surprisingly a class 3 shield gen.

Only for your bulkheads experimentals you have no choice but to take your ship to Selene, just make the trip worth it and bring a bunch of hull reinforcement as well.

Almost every ship, the very first upgrade would be the FSD, then do the rest as needed. Put on an FSD booster and finish it up.

excuse me a noob question too

Can the experimental effect be applied only on G5 engineered parts?
Or do you need lvl 5 reputation with an engineer?

Im not sure about it, was just surprised that i have upgraded something to G4 (which was max on the engineer) but wasn't able to apply the experimental effect.

you should be able to apply it at any level as long as you have applied an engineering modification (even a G1)

Even engineers that don't offer G5 for given modules, should be able to apply the experimentals. For example Felicity can apply experimentals on Thrusters, Shield Boosters, FSD, power plant.

oh thats weird. So why i wasn't able to do that? The option is missing for me. On the other engineer where i have upgraded all the way up to G5 it was available.

Maybe a bug, you can show a screenshot.
Switch to Horizons? dunno :-)

Im on horizons, not owning odyssey yet. Will wait until the initial hype and bug party is over and see if its realy worth it. Still have enough to do in horizons. Ill try to make a screenshot if i come to that engineer today.

hmm maybe i am just missing some special materials?

Make sure the appropiate upgrade on the left side of the screen is selected (whatever you upgraded to G4). After that the experimental button should be clickable.
