EDFM // Engineering / Engineers
Cannon and Rail Gun specialist based in the Wolf 397 system.
Tod "The Blaster" McQuinn specialises in cannons, rail guns modifications. See Engineer Unlock Chain below for their relationship to Selene Jean and Petra Olmanova.[1]
Location
- System: Wolf 397
- Facility: Trophy Camp
How to Discover This Engineer
Not independently confirmed this pass.[2][1]
How to Receive an Invitation
Requires 15 or more bounty vouchers redeemed before the referral appears.[2]
How to Unlock This Engineer
- Meet the invitation requirement: requires 15 or more bounty vouchers redeemed before the referral appears.
- Travel to Trophy Camp in Wolf 397.
- Redeem or deliver **bounty vouchers worth 100,000 CR total** at his facility.
- Confirm access at the Engineer's terminal.
Engineer Unlock Chain
No verified multi-Engineer chain to display for this Engineer.
Tod McQuinn's own prerequisite Engineer is not yet confirmed. He is the referral source for both Selene Jean and Petra Olmanova (the latter in Colonia).[2]
Available Engineering
| Module | Notes | Maximum grade |
|---|---|---|
| Cannon | Damage and other variants | To be confirmed |
| Rail Gun | Damage 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: Tod "The Blaster" McQuinn's confirmed specialties are Cannons, Rail Guns, 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.
