I have noticed that any ODD level (3, 5, 7, 9) Engine, Booster, or Capacitor is similar in stats to a lvl 2 item, regardless of their level. For example, I have level 7 and 9 boosters with 1200 Booster Energy, which is the same energy you get from all but the rarest of level 2 boosters. Also, capacitors and engines seem to follow the same pattern.
I have looted several bags of space loot, sometimes earning multiple bags full in a day's time, and have yet to see a useful Engine, Capacitor or Booster of these levels. Armor, Weapons, and Shields seem to be fine, in that the average stats seem to increase as the levels increase. Reactors are hard to analyze, as they seem to be very random across all levels in the first place.
Has anybody else experienced the same inconsistencies on these specific components?

I know when I RE all the loot most of it is pure junk. I think out of 4-5k of loot I might have gotten like 5-10 really good engines, ones over 80+ speed at levels 2-5. The other engines higher than that I havent really looked at cause I sort the loot out into bags by the level #. So ill let ya know when I have an actual lvl 7-8-9 engine. Most I've done have been lvls 1-6. And a lot of the stats are like you said compared to a lvl 1-2 component.

The only odd-numbered equipment that seems to be usable are weapons and reactors. Everything else is pretty much chassis dealer fodder.
I only say reactors because I have a 21k gen L7 in the Oppressor I never use.

I know what you mean. I'm using a lvl 7 reactor in my Rihk with 36k gen and I'm still waiting to find enough stuff to even push it over the halfway mark for usage.
