Original DBO developers didn't add this class to the game. Some says it was done, but they never implemented it. Nobody knows if Daneos are going to put it into DBOG, but if he wants to, it will be implemented much later after the Open Beta phase, maybe in 1 or 2 years. Anyways, there's no pronunciation about the engineer class yet.
why do u think it will take a year or 2 for open beta? i doint think it will be that long maybe 2 or 3 months but a year ?.?.???
