Interface: PreEngineeredVariant

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:78

One purchasable pre-engineered module variant — a pairing of a stock module with the blueprint it ships with, not a module in its own right.

Properties

acquisition

readonly acquisition: PreEngineeredAcquisition

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:107

Where the variant comes from.

---

blueprint

readonly blueprint: string

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:97

The blueprint recipe's Frontier fdname, e.g. "RailGun_LongShot". Joins to BLUEPRINTS.

Remarks

On a reward variant this identifies the article rather than reproducing it. Alongside its blueprint and effect, a reward carries hand-set modifier overrides no blueprint grants — that is what makes it a reward rather than a shortcut — so rolling this recipe to this grade does not arrive at the same module, and getBlueprintCost (in ships/blueprint-costs) against it prices ordinary engineering rather than the reward. Read modifiers for what the article actually carries.

---

engineeringLocked?

readonly optional engineeringLocked?: true

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:117

Whether the article is final and accepts no further engineering.

Remarks

Present as true on the pre-engineered Guardian weapons. Their stock counterparts can take Anti-Guardian Zone Resistance, but the pre-engineered articles cannot: neither that recipe nor any ordinary weapon recipe may be applied to them. Absence means this catalogue does not lock further engineering.

---

experimental?

readonly optional experimental?: string

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:105

The experimental effect's Frontier fdname, e.g. "special_feedback_cascade_cooled". Joins to EXPERIMENTAL_EFFECTS. Absent when the variant carries none.

---

grade

readonly grade: number

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:99

The blueprint grade already applied (1–5).

---

mercCoinCost?

readonly optional mercCoinCost?: number

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:123

The shop price in Merc Coin. Present only on mercenary rows — the other routes are not bought with a currency. Merc Coin has no credit equivalent, which is why this is separate from the credit cost a module carries.

---

modifiers?

readonly optional modifiers?: readonly PreEngineeredModifier[]

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:130

The hand-set stat block the variant arrives with, sorted by label.

Absent on every mercenary row: no registry publishes the grade-1 pre-engineering those arrive with. Present on all 51 community-goal and tech-broker rows.

---

name

readonly name: string

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:82

The base module's display name, e.g. "Rail Gun".

---

symbol

readonly symbol: string

Defined in: src/ships/pre-engineered.ts:80

The base module's symbol, e.g. "Hpt_Railgun_Fixed_Medium". Joins to the module catalogues.
