Yes to all three questions. I intentionally unlocked all 3 types of energy weapons just to cover each option. Its also true for the hull and armor modifications i unlocked by going through the engineer prior to Broo Tarquin. None of them are showing available and and I checked to see if they are also pinned. I logged out the night i completed all the engineer tasks and even if I didnt have components for the modifications wouldn't the pinned blueprints still show up on my engineers tab??

That's odd. Having the module properly equipped or relogging fixes the issue for me. The idea about missing components was a shot in the dark. I dunno, maybe uninstall the module, exit to the main starport screen, and then go back to reinstall the module and see if it gets recognized. If the blueprint is showing as pinned when you look at the engineer, and the module is equipped on the ship, then it seems like it should be available when you choose engineering when in a starport.

If all else fails, blame whatever political party you disagree with.

You can only pin one blueprint from each engineer, and the different types of laser use different blueprints. If I remember right, when you pin a blueprint it doesn't actually warn you that it will unpin the previous one (assuming you had one pinned for that engineer already).

So, to repeat Vasil's question - are you sure you have the right pinned blueprint for the weapons on your ship?

Well, I finally picked up Odyssey on deep discount, meaning I'm finally back in the 'verse.

I hadn't unlocked any other blueprints for energy weapons. Broo Tarquin offers modifications for all of them, those are the ones I pinned. So if the anaconda has burst lasers the the burst laser upgrade should be available.

I believe what Co'hen is saying is that the game only accepts the last blueprint you pinned from an engineer. So if you pinned a Burst laser, then a pulse laser, then a beam laser from the same engineer, only the beam laser will be officially recognized as pinned since it was the last one pinned. Thus, if you have pulse lasers equipped, you will not see the pulsw blueprint because the game is recognizing only the last pinned blueprint, the beam laser.

WELP, I figured it out. I flew the Anaconda all the way back to Broo Tarquin 187 lys had to strip down the Anaconda so it only took 16 jumps, ugh. Turns out i never pinned the burst laser blueprint!! DERP!

Thank you for all your help CMDRs!

Glad you got that sorted, but I do want to pick up a couple of things here

1) You can only pin ONE blueprint per engineer. It seems like you thought you pinned one for each laser type, but you cannot do that. I suspect that you did pin the burst laser blueprint, but then you pinned either the beam or pulse laser afterwards. That will replace whatever pinned blueprint you already had for that engineer.

I only say this because I don't want you to be confused if you decide to switch to pulse or beam lasers, and find that you can't engineer them. If you check your Engineers status in-game, you will now only see the burst laser blueprint. It can be a little confusing because it shows e.g. "1/5", but that's just showing you each level of the modification, up to the max that you've unlocked. It's not 5 different blueprints.

2) 16 jumps for 187 LY means your next priority should either be getting an A-grade FSD and engineering it (or buying one of the special ones, if you can get the materials), or you need to change your route planning settings to pick the fastest route, not the most economical

yea, material for the FSD upgrades is harder to get and thank you for the info.

There is a good spot for getting Raw mats for the FDS upgrades

also people usually suggest Jamesons Crash site for encoded mats

Hi! Who can tell?The delivery of genetic data at the faction station increases the reputation of this faction?

Where? And is this discount still going? I am currently a PS5 player and looking to switch over very soon so that I am not playing in a nearly nullified Legacy version of the galaxy. Preferably on Steam so I can see if anyone has made a PS5 controller scheme that matches the one I've already gotten accustomed to after so long playing with one.

Welp. Guess it's that time then. o7
Just need Frontier to erase two duplicate profiles I have for some reason with absolutely no commander data attached and then I will use the migration option to switch everything over to PC.
