Now, I don’t know if recruiting costs change later in the game (I didn’t get too far yet), but when I visited my Rebel HQ, I was offered an Engineer for around 180 supplies. So effectively you only get 1.4 engineers. Of those two bonus engineers, 1 is most likely staffing a Power Relay, giving +5 (but since the WS uses up 3 already, you only really get 40% of it). Two bonus Engineers (well 4 gremlins but it needs 2 actual engineers, so +2)

Which can mess up your plans for what you need to build now.
