I hope the person that said they'd pay 750k was joking...
It's a pretty OK engine. The speed is nice, but the P/R/Y rates are nothing to write home about. I'm not sure if I still have it or not (have gone through tons of parts) but I know I either have or had a level 1 with 60+ P/R/Y and 72 top speed, and several other comparable units. I'm still flying with a level 2 in my alt's Dunelizard that's 65+ P/R/Y, 2200 mass, and 74.5 top speed. Poor thing is down to about 16 HP/armor after being used with 2 toons and numerous ships (and constantly running engine overload 3) but it still runs like a scalded dog.
I'm not trying to brag or be uber-dude at all, please don't take it that way. I'm just saying that there is plenty of good loot out there...you just have to go hunt it down. I will occasionally clear my inventory down to nothing but the clothes on my back, and simply go kill things until my inventory is full of loot. Good cash from the targets, great XP or prestige points, lots of good loot (lots of crap too, but your guild's Shipwright would love a donation for RE purposes) and plenty of good, clean killin' fun. Add a wingman or two for added enjoyment - and more loot!
Don't wait for the good parts to come to you - go get 'em yourself, with extreme prejudice.

The engine looks good for a lvl 1, but it does look used up. Notice the low amount of armor, if they knock out your rear shields, and rear armor one shot and your are dead in space.

Yah though if anything knocks all your shields and armor down, being dead in space is the least of your worries.

He simply asked a question and I politlely answered. What I would pay for something doesn't reflect the whole community. I would have loved an engine like that while I was grinding Tier 1 and 2 boxes. After I got the larger TIE Advanced and could hold more mass, I would have happily passed this on to another guildy. So the 750K would have payed itself off after a few people used it.

Eh, you are paying 750k(which is a LOT of money, at least now after the solo nerf) for an engine you will use for an hour. Then possibly 1 or two guildies will use for another hour. Sorry, that doesn't make sence to me. This is the main problem with the solo nerf, all the poor people stay poor, and the rich get richer.
