EDFM // Engineering / Engineers
Directory of every currently available Engineer, ship and Odyssey, with location, specialty, and a brief unlock summary.
Engineers are commanders and specialists scattered around the galaxy who can modify ship modules, and — separately — suits and handheld weapons, beyond their factory specification. Each Engineer has their own specialties, their own requirements to reach and unlock, and their own maximum Engineering grade. This directory exists to answer "who can do what, and where are they" at a glance; the practical unlock walkthrough and full blueprint list for each one lives on their own article.
Ship Engineering and Odyssey (suit/weapon) Engineering are two separate systems with separate Engineers — they're kept in separate tables below rather than mixed together, and Odyssey Engineering does not exist in Legacy.
Individual Engineer articles are being populated in stages — see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Pages Needing Review for which ones currently have full research behind them versus a stub. Unlock summaries below are intentionally brief; full walkthroughs, blueprint tables, and sourcing live on each Engineer's own page.
Ship Engineers

Browsing Engineers
This directory currently supports browsing by name, location, and specialty directly (both tables above are sortable — click a column header). Browsing by maximum grade, region grouping, and unlock chain isn't populated yet since that data isn't confirmed for most Engineers — see Engineer Unlock Guide for the chain relationships that have been confirmed so far.
