Legacy differences and newer Merc blueprints are labelled where known.

Referrals are not unlocks

Know which door opens the next one.

Each referral only reveals the next engineer. Rank, reputation, permit, activity and delivery requirements still apply.

Additional planning reference

Blueprint pinning baseline.

This older community plan makes use of overlapping engineers to keep multiple useful blueprints available remotely.

Review in progressThis is a transcription of the supplied chart, not a new recommendation. It predates newer engineers and blueprint families. We will replace it with a current set of role-based pin plans.

The short version

Two engineering systems.

Ship and Odyssey engineering share engineers and unlock chains as a concept, but not their progression or materials.

SHIP

Blueprints and grades

Unlock the engineer, raise reputation, apply module blueprints from G1 through G5 and add an experimental effect in person. One blueprint can be pinned per engineer.

ON-FOOT

Permanent modifications

Upgrade suits and weapons to open modification slots. Engineers install individual modifications; installed modifications cannot be removed or replaced.

MATERIALS

Not ordinary cargo

Ship materials are Raw, Manufactured and Encoded. Odyssey uses Goods, Assets and Data. Traders and bartenders do not treat these as one shared economy.

Live and Legacy differ: some newer blueprints have their own grade limits. The index labels known differences directly where they matter.
