The actionable checklist for gaining access to Didi Vatermann — for location, capabilities, blueprints, and other reference details, see the Engineer article.
This Field Procedure covers only the steps to unlock Didi Vatermann. For the Engineer's location, specialties, available blueprints, experimental effects, and reference details, see Didi Vatermann.
Objective
Gain access to Didi Vatermann's Engineer services at Vatermann LLC in Leesti.
Prerequisites
- Discovery: Didi Vatermann is discovered through Selene Jean.
- Invitation: Reach the Pilots Federation Trade rank of Merchant or higher.
- Reach Grade 3 access and at least one-third progress toward Grade 4 with Selene Jean.
- Reach Merchant or higher in Trade Rank.
- Obtain a total of 50 units of Lavian Brandy.
Required Materials, Equipment, and Access
Obtaining Lavian Brandy The normal production source for Lavian Brandy is:
- System: Lave
- Station: Lave Station
- Commodity type: Rare commodity
Didi requires 50 units in total.
Rare commodities have limited availability, and Lave Station may not have all 50 units available to you at once. If necessary, the unlock can be completed through multiple deliveries to Vatermann LLC.
Tip
Lave and Leesti are neighbouring systems, so multiple deliveries are considerably less inconvenient here than for rare-good unlocks whose source and Engineer are much farther apart.
Player-owned Fleet Carriers may also offer Lavian Brandy through their commodity markets when stock has been made available by another Commander. Carrier inventories and prices are player-controlled and can change.
See Lavian Brandy for current acquisition details and rare-commodity mechanics.
Field note
Do not rely on an old guide's exact Lavian Brandy allocation. Rare-good availability can vary; check the current stock at Lave Station when preparing the unlock.
Field note
Current Engineer data notes that station services may not become available immediately after Didi is unlocked. If the workshop or other expected services do not appear after completing the unlock, logging out and back in may make them available.
