- Confirm access at the Engineer's terminal.
Engineer Unlock Chain
Lei Cheung sits between The Dweller and Ram Tah.[2]
Available Engineering
| Module | Notes | Maximum grade |
|---|---|---|
| Shield Generator | Strength 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: Lei Cheung's confirmed specialties are Shields, 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.
