Anyone know how to use a companions Outpost Engineering skill? I assigned someone with it and when I go to the outpost it says Outpost Engineering but it doesn't let me research any of the projects they are blocked do you need something additional like the research skill?

Pretty sure when I assigned a Outpost Engineering fella I didn't need to research anything, it just unlocked stuff for me to place at that specific outpost by them being there, so essentially the research is already done as long as they're there and you can get building stuff related to whatever skill level that companion is at.

Hmm I can't recall seeing extra things to build been from Outpost Engineering 2 skill the companion has but I will check later and also just to add if you remove that companion to another outpost  do the higher tier things stay or go inactive?

Yeah, I never figured out companion skills properly either. Pretty sure the ones that boost your ship will work as long as they are assigned to your current ship's crew and your ship has the ship weapon type that matches their skill (for instance Barrett boosts ship particle beam weapons and Vasco boosts ship EM weapons), and I'm pretty sure the ones that boost one of the ground combat skills buff their own damage if they have that weapon type equipped (for instance you want to give Sarah a Laser weapon, Sam a ballistic rifle, and Andreja a particle weapon such as the Va'Ruun pistol). But I never did figure out how to use the outpost skills on companions, I can't even assign companions to my outpost even though I have hab structures and beds and such for them.

The active skills highlight in the crew menu but the one thing I'm not sure is do they add to your levels or if you have a 2 crew with level 2's does it make a level 4.
