In Elite Dangerous, some commanders have found they cannot engineer level 6 cargo racks bought with mercenary coins, despite meeting the grade 5 engineer access requirement. This problem prevents upgrading these cargo racks, potentially limiting cargo capacity optimization and affecting gameplay efficiency for those relying on mercenary coin purchases. The community is investigating whether this is a bug or a misunderstanding of the engineering process. This issue could influence engineering progression and player satisfaction if unresolved.
- Level 6 cargo racks purchased with mercenary coins cannot be engineered despite grade 5 access.
