CMDR Flemmings log entries from unlocking Elite Dangerous engineers.

Preface

My goal for this engineer-grind is to be able to fully engineer this Vulture PVE Combat build from this Elite Dangerous build guide by Exigeous.

Chapter one - the journey begins.

The first engineer that i got an email invitation from was Tod 'The Blaster' McQuinn. I did not go for him as the first because i wanted to get the FSD Long Range from Felicitry Farseer first because that will save a lot of jumps ;-)

While jumping and honking every system on my way to buy the Meta Alloy Felicity require, i got invitation from Elvira Martuk.

I went back with the Meta Alloy in my cargo, honking all the way to make sure i got to Scout rank in exploration. And sure enough - while selling the cartographics I got my Scout rank and the invite from Felicity. So next chapter will be about her - Tod will have to wait ;-)

Chapter two - Visiting Felicity Farseer

So there i was - ready to travel the 30ish jumps to Deciat,

...to be continued

More information: 
  1. Time: Short
  2. Best Module: Frame Shift Drives
  3. Requirements:
    1. Exploration rank 'Scout' (requires 270,000 CR profit from Exploration)
    2. Donate 1 Meta Alloy

With a Universal Discovery Scanner and at least 1 Cargo Rack, jump down to Maia and honk every system you jump through. In Maia, you can buy 1 Meta Alloy at Darnielle's Progress.

Once you have the Meta Alloy, go to Eurybia, and turn in your Universal Cartographic data to the Eurybia Blue Mafia. This should give you the appropriate funds to reach Scout, while also helping you with Liz Ryder down the road.

Proceed to Deciat, and donate your Meta Alloy to Felicity Farseer at Farseer Inc. Craft mods with Farseer until you receive information on Juri Ishmaak, then head to the Ngurii system.

Note: It is recommended that you improve your Frame Shift Drive with the Long-Range mod as far as possible. This will make the entire guide considerably easier.

 Pin this:
 FSD - Increased range.

Tod 'The Blaster' McQuinn

More information: 
  1. Time to finish: Short
  2. Best Module/s: Multi-Cannons / Rail Guns
  3. Requirements:
    1. You learn about him from common knowledge.
    2. Earn more than 15 Bounty Vouchers to gain access to Trophy Camp in Wolf 397.
    3. Provide 100,000 Cr worth of Bounty Vouchers to Trophy Camp in Wolf 397 to gain access to blueprints.

This one's pretty straight forward. Kill some wanted NPC's at the Nav Beacon in Wolf 397 until you have 100,000 Cr worth, then turn them into Trophy Camp. Rank up Tod McQuinn until you get information on Selene Jean.

 Pin this:
 Multi Cannon - Overcharged.

Liz Ryder

More information: 

Time:

  • Moderate

Best Module:

  • Missile Racks
  • Torpedo Pylons

Requirements:

  • Gain Cordial or Friendly Status with the Eurybia Blue Mafia DONE
  • Provide 200 units of Landmines.

You should already be friendly with the Eurybia Blue Mafia from way back in Step One, so all you really need to do is source 200 Tons of Landmines to donate at Demolition Unlimited. Rank Liz Ryder up to grade 3-4, and you should get an invite from Hera Tani.

 Pin this:
 Seeker Missile - High Capacity.
