Research Engineer
HP4
An engineer who is one step ahead of their peers has joined your Union Crawler.
Once per Downtime, the Research Engineer can be asked to craft a single Mech Chassis, System, or Module. This can be of a Tech Level one higher than the current Tech Level of your Union Crawler. For example, the Research Engineer could craft you a Tech 3 System if you were in a Tech 2 Union Crawler. You must provide them the correct amount of Scrap to do this and it follows all the normal crafting rules.
Your Crawler is designed for maximum efficiency, functioning with the bare minimum of scrap expenditure thanks to the efforts of your well-oiled engineering team.
Exceptional Engineering
Your Union Crawler reduces its upkeep cost by 2 Scrap of its Tech Level. In addition add 2 free Scrap of it's Tech Level to its Upgrade Pool at the start of each Downtime.
