Researching Exceptional Engine Mods

Post by setaira »

Does researching these things give access to engine mods that can be used on my crafts or is it just a trade item?
I cant seem to find the answer anywhere :(

Also if you can add these engine/hull/wep research mods, how do you do it?

I haven't yet used them (I'm cash strapped at the moment) but I think you need to go to an equipment dock or shipyard, there you can find a terminal where you can modify your ship (this is not the same as the terminal for upgrading your ship, although they could be next to each other). There you can choose to modify weapons/shields/etc. Not sure if the terminal at the front of your landed ship can do this, but if not, it's in the building with the tools symbol.

Ohhh i think that might be it. Right clicking the ship and clicking the ship and clicking redesign shows the categories (grayed out other than paint). However, ive got all researched but there is nothing at all to change. Do i need to buy/craft the blueprints or something?

You need to fly to an equipment station, wharf or shipyard. Have the desired ship docked there then go to the modding bench. It's next to the ship/equipment vendor. It's a different bench from the item crafting one.

I use it on the ships I personally fly. They give good boosts.

Now how to farm them is a question mark. I think you need to go to war and salvage everything from large fleet battles to have a decent chance on some of them. Especially the exceptional weapon mods are hard to come by.

Ohh!!! I see, they are called 'Workbench'. Thank you! :D

It seems they are only in the Shipyard and Wharf (in the Ship Dealership room)!
