I honestly would keep a hold of it, use it in case you ever decide to try a new pilot proffession. This way you will have an awesome level 1 engine right from the start.

Its an excellent low level engine, but it still can't beat an 80 PYR 80+speed looted level 10 
. Now the mass on it is excellent if you are are in a pinch.

wow nice engine, can player crafted ones get to 90?
Players can but the YPR would really bite. Looted engines are the only way to go until some experimentaiton changes are made. I have heard of player crafted with 100+ speed but the YPR is in the 40's or 50's
Yeah, I personally have a 103 speed crafted engine, but the YPR is 55 across the board.

not to be way to direct but what would be a reasonable price to sell this at?

Price will be dictated by demand. Offer it up for auction in your trade forums. That is the only way to guage its value. Just like collectable comics, the book value means squat unless you can find somone to pay it.

Its a cool little engine but personally I would rather have one of those with only like 61 top speed but all 60 some YPR. With the way the AI acts now, long turns at half throttle until a change of vector, top speed is really not too important, but it is nice for getting to somewhere fast.
I'd say 500k. If the YPR were exceptional then it would be worth millions maybe. I would RE it just for the sake of renaming it, I love that.
Whats the name on it???

Interesting turn in the discussion. I agree it's a nice 'little' engine, but it is just that; little and you're going to be toast trying to use that against any serious enemy and come out alive. The only reason I can see someone shelling out the kind of cash you guys have quoted for it would be for someone who plans to master various squads and doesn't already have a sweet lvl 1 eng.
I've used mostly player made engines for a bit now and using engine overload 3, the low pyr is nulified. Have 99, 102 and 105 speed versions. Currently have the 102 in my kryat and cruise at 1229 with eo3.The 105 is in my yt and I forget the cruising speed with eo3, but it's hella fun to fly and very manuverable even at 700+ speed.
