Thruster engineering complaint

[the frost staff]

According to Inara[inara.cz], i need to travel to colonia just to get a grade 5 thruster. can i bypass this somehow? or am i going to have to wait a few days to travel to colonia(wich i really dont want to).

You don't need the Colonia engineer. Professor Palin is closer than that. But he also will send you to a trip. But at least it's only 5kLy, not 20+kLy.

Ah you looked with the wrong engineer... yeah. Technically you CAN fly to colonia to get those grade 5 thrusters. Will net you many millions through discovery data :)

The ultimate troll in Elite would be an engineer who supplies unique upgrades in Beagle Point. Catch is, you need 1000 Hutton mugs to unlock them and they don't tell you until you arrive.

He is not there yet. But we, at DW2, are working on it. :)

Tier 10 FSD range upgrade incoming at Beagle Point.

but if you dont have dr palin unlocked you will need to unlock the other person before him which you will need to get a permit to land on sirus so in the end it could be quicker to fly to colonia and then unlock your tier 5 thrusters and then buy a suicide winder.

just get a bit of exploration data before you arrive at colonia dream to get in good with the colonia council

thank you that reminds me i can go out their as i have him unlocked but not dr palin.
i will just search what mats i need to upgrade to 5 and unlock that blue print then i will be good to go...... thank you for this post

Inara says that? Post a link to it.

[ZombieHunter]

Yes, er...um....you must fly to Colonia.....

We've, um, all done it to get thruster upgrades. Right guys?

to clarify, i dont think hes actually saying that inara literally says "you must fly to colonia for g5 thrusters" instead he most likely was looking at the engineer list and missed palin and only noticed the colonia engineer

wouldnt be able to suicidewinder back. Think about it, you respawn at the last station you undocked from (or another station in that system). To unlock an engineer in Colonia you would have to land at their base to unlock them and grind their access levels...atm the colonia engineers don't do anything that their bubble counterparts cannot.

The SuicideWinder works by choosing a free ship instead of a rebuy. It puts you into the starter star system, not the last station.
