Has anyone found anything interesting about jedi from reverse engineering the client? Does anyone have a copy of the server?

If you have zero knowledge of the things you'retalking about, please don't post gibberish laden with buzzwords you got off tech-TV.

People have found some things in the client, but nothign that will tell you how to open your slot.


No one has a "copy of the server".

One of the things I have seen little information on is Reverse Engineering. I hear about people saying that the best components they have are often from reverse engineering. I understand the basic concepts of what it is, but what's the math and thought behind it.


I see a rating on compenents like (RE 6). My understanding is that this means a couple things.


First being that it means you have to be to lvl 6 in order to RE this component correct?

Second that it requires you to have 6 similar components in order to RE this?



I guess my question is how do you make this skill beneficial and maximize it's potential. I did a couple tests on low level items(RE 1's) but was only getting a 1% increase. What effects the % increase and how do I get much more significant improvements?

Reverse Engineering level 1 equipment is more or less pointless.

Here is the deal:

Let us assume we have 2 RE level 2 components.
One has
Stat A = 100
Stat B = 50

The other has

Stat A = 75
Stat B = 98

then reverse engineering these components will give you a component with the stats

Stat A = 100+2%
Stat B = 98 + 2%

Reverse Engineering takes the best of all stats from all the components and adds a bonus of RE level %.

For reverse engineering RE level 1 components this equals a bonus of 1% on all stats.

Hope this helps.

Ok that makes alot more sense, and helps explain why the items I was making were pretty much pointless to even bother with. I was playing with level 1 stuff becuase I wanted to get a feel for it before I started using better components which could potentially make a very good component. Thanks for the info that clears up the problems I was having understanding the reverse engineering. I searched all over the guides and posts and just saw very limited information on this.

When you get a looted part and you put it in a tool, what then....Im not sure what I am supposed to put with it to RE it...?

Just the part(s).

One for each RE level.

So to reverse engineer a RE level 5 engine, you need to put 5 RE level 5 engines in the tool. I am not sure, whether those might be used components. If you can use components that have decayed partly, you might use REing to recycle those components.

The 6 means that the pilot needs to be certed for level 6 equipment.

Yes.

You get 1% for each level of the component. So 6 level 6 components will yield a 6% increase to the combined highest stats.
