Summary table of rolls needed to engineer each grade and totals to reach G4 and G5 on the right.
INARA is the most conservative of the big 3 but if you want to cover every base for your first time at an engineer, then go with the rep=0 numbers. Once reputation is established with a given engineer, the numbers should come down to the levels shown in the rep++++ row.
After you have gained access to (bribed) an engineer — and before you start building anything — there are often other ways to build rep with them, such as selling your exploration data. Check for specifics.
| G1 | G2 | G3 | G4 | G5 | G1 to G4 | G1 to G5 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| INARA | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 18 | 25 |
| Coriolis | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 10 | 12 | 22 |
| SDSY | 1.5 | 2 | 3 | 4.5 | 9 | 11 | 20 |
| rep=0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 12 | 20 | 32 |
| rep++++ | 2 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 8 | 12 | 20 |
