To build a long range exploration vessel you will need lots of engineering components. Gathering the component for the blueprints is only half the battle. You will also need to unlock ‘access’ to the right Engineers. Then once you have been invited to the Engineer’s base you will need to build up your reputation with them.

Here is a list of the components you will need, where to find them and which Engineers you will need access to.
