EDFM // Engineering / Engineers
Thruster specialist based in the Arque system, reached after Marco Qwent.
Professor Palin specialises in thrusters modifications. They're reached through Marco Qwent.[1]
Location
- System: Arque
- Facility: Abel Laboratory
How to Discover This Engineer
Referral from Marco Qwent.[2][1]
How to Receive an Invitation
Travel 5,000 Ly from your starting location before the referral triggers.[2]
How to Unlock This Engineer
- Have Marco Qwent unlocked and build reputation with them to trigger the referral.
- Meet the invitation requirement: travel 5,000 Ly from your starting location before the referral triggers.
- Travel to Abel Laboratory in Arque.
- Deliver **25 units of Sensor Fragments** — the same requirement reported for Chloe Sedesi.
- Confirm access at the Engineer's terminal.
Engineer Unlock Chain
Professor Palin is reached through Marco Qwent. No further Engineer has been confirmed as reachable specifically through Professor Palin in the sources checked this pass.[2]
Available Engineering
| Module | Notes | Maximum grade |
|---|---|---|
| Thrusters | Speed 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: Professor Palin's confirmed specialties are Thrusters, 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.
