	Engineering is Elite Dangerous' long-term module customisation system. It lets commanders take ordinary ship modules, suits, and handheld weapons beyond their stock specifications by spending collected materials at specialist Engineer bases. The result is not one universal upgrade path: every modification has trade-offs, every Engineer has a limited set of specialties, and the best build usually comes from choosing the right blueprint, grade, and Experimental Effect for the job.
