I'm not sure that's entirely true to be honest... Seen people with my same reward engine in a bomber moving like slugs (which they should be of course).

As a master shipwright, I'm telling you it is entirely true. Engines do not take mass into consideration, oddly enough. So identical engines in a Tie fighter, and Tie Oppressor, will push those ships along at identical speeds. The only difference in flight characteristics are in the hulls Yaw/Pitch/Roll characteristics. That is the single, sole difference. Personally I think engines should take mass into consideration, because it's crazy to expect a L1-L2 engine rated at 82 (lilke I'm using in my Tie Interceptor), could be expected to push a mighty Tie Oppresor at the same speed. But alas, they do.

Well with my best engine in my TIE bomber I get a sloooow acceleration to a top speed of 620

That same engine in my TIE interceptor I get a nearly instant acceleration to a top speed of 711
