EDFM // Engineering / Engineers

Power Distributor specialist based in the Wyrd system.

Needs review

Some information in this article still needs to be checked for accuracy.

Uncertain: Maximum engineering grade and full blueprint names were not found in the sources checked; the prerequisite/discovery/invitation chain is single-sourced and flagged inline where not corroborated.

The Dweller specialises in power distributor modifications. See Engineer Unlock Chain below for their relationship to Lei Cheung and Marsha Hicks.[1]

Location

  • System: Wyrd
  • Facility: Black Hide

How to Discover This Engineer

Not independently confirmed this pass — community sources suggest Professor Palin, but this hasn't been verified.[2][1]

How to Receive an Invitation

Sell exploration or other data at 5 black markets, per community sources; not independently confirmed this pass.[2]

How to Unlock This Engineer

  1. Meet the invitation requirement: sell exploration or other data at 5 black markets, per community sources; not independently confirmed this pass.
  2. Travel to Black Hide in Wyrd.
  3. Pay **500,000 CR** directly at the Engineer's terminal, rather than deliver a physical commodity.
  4. Confirm access at the Engineer's terminal.

Engineer Unlock Chain

No verified multi-Engineer chain to display for this Engineer.

The Dweller's own prerequisite Engineer is not independently confirmed this pass. He is reported as the referral source for both Lei Cheung and Marsha Hicks (the latter in Colonia).[2]

Available Engineering

Module Notes Maximum grade
Power Distributor Charge and other variants To be confirmed

Full blueprint names and maximum grades were not confirmed to the same depth as the core chain pages for this pass — see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture for the site's policy on not inventing unconfirmed specifics.[2]

Experimental Effects

To be added — not confirmed in the sources checked for this pass.

Increasing Engineer Reputation

Reputation increases through crafting modifications at their workshop, in line with the general mechanic covered on the main Engineering page.

Blueprint Pinning

Fact: The Dweller's confirmed specialties are Power Distributor, per Available Engineering above.

EDFM recommendation: Not yet made. A pinning recommendation needs the maximum-grade and full blueprint data above filled in first — see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Engineering Architecture for why EDFM treats pinning guidance as editorial judgement, not a database fact.
