EDFM // Engineering / Engineers

Frame Shift Drive specialist based in the Deciat system, and one of the earliest Engineers most commanders unlock.

Needs review

Some information in this article still needs to be checked for accuracy.

Uncertain: Maximum engineering grade and the full named list of blueprints beyond module/upgrade counts were not found in the sources checked — see Available Engineering

Felicity Farseer is one of the first Engineers most commanders reach, and is a common starting point for the wider Engineer network — several other Engineers are ultimately reached only after unlocking her.[1][2]

Location

  • System: Deciat
  • Facility: Farseer Inc
  • Navigation notes: Deciat is a frequently-visited system for new commanders reaching their first Engineer; be aware it has a reputation as a location where player-vs-player interdiction is more common than average.[3]

How to Discover This Engineer

No discovery step applies — Felicity Farseer is known from public data sources without needing a referral from another Engineer.[1]

How to Receive an Invitation

Reach Exploration rank Scout or higher.[1][2]

How to Unlock This Engineer

  1. Reach Exploration rank Scout or higher.
  2. Travel to Farseer Inc in Deciat.
  3. Deliver 1 unit of Meta-Alloys — an encoded/manufactured material rather than a purchasable commodity.
  4. Confirm access at the Engineer's terminal.

station services (including the ability to actually place engineering orders) may not appear immediately after unlocking — relogging is commonly reported to make them available.[1]

Engineer Unlock Chain

Felicity Farseer has no prerequisite Engineer — she's a starting point for the network rather than partway along a chain.[1] Liz Ryder is also independently available from the start; the two are separate entry points, not sequential.[4]

Available Engineering

Module Blueprint count (per Inara) Maximum grade
Detailed Surface Scanner 2 variants To be confirmed
Frame Shift Drive 3 variants To be confirmed
Frame Shift Drive Interdictor 2 variants To be confirmed
Power Plant 3 variants To be confirmed
Sensors 3 variants To be confirmed
Shield Booster 5 variants To be confirmed
Thrusters 3 variants To be confirmed

The source checked for this pass gave module coverage and variant counts but not the specific blueprint name for each variant or the maximum grade — listing invented blueprint names here would risk stating something not actually confirmed, so this table intentionally stops at what was verifiable.[1]

Experimental Effects

To be added — not confirmed in the sources checked for this pass.

Increasing Engineer Reputation

Reputation increases through crafting modifications at her workshop, or by selling exploration data there.[1] Reputation mechanics common to all Engineers are covered on the main Engineering page rather than repeated here.

Blueprint Pinning

Fact: Felicity Farseer's confirmed specialties are Frame Shift Drive, Power Plant, Sensors, Shield Booster, Thrusters, Detailed Surface Scanner, and FSD Interdictor modifications.

EDFM recommendation: Not yet made. A pinning recommendation needs the maximum-grade and specific-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.
