Elite Dangerous commanders have sought clarity on whether mercenary coin engineering blueprints can be applied through the Remote Workshop to modules of different sizes or types. Community discussion confirms that these blueprints require a pre-engineered tier 1 module matching the exact size specified by the blueprint. Attempts to apply a blueprint to a different module size, such as swapping a fixed multi-cannon blueprint onto a turreted multi-cannon, are not supported. This understanding helps commanders plan their ship builds more precisely, ensuring they acquire the correct base modules before blueprint application. The clarification comes amid ongoing community interest in engineering flexibility as of August 2026.
- Mercenary coin blueprints need a matching tier 1 module size.
- Remote Workshop does not support cross-size blueprint application.
