Noob question. I need some help on determining what parts are best for my ship. Like the Reactor what should I look for and the compositors what stats would I look for to make my ship better? Can any one give me a Noob guild on ship components?

Man that's a tough question without knowing more about what kind of ship you have or what level you are... not to mention flying style...

First thing is this... in most cases RE'd components are the best... so get friendly with a SW that RE's stuff... next, go out and start killing ships... Personally I'd say start with going after NPC Tiers that match yours... sift through the loot to find the best component you can... then add to it... i.e., if you find a great Level 5 Blaster... find 2 more level 5 Ions and two more level 5 disruptors...go to the SW and get your kick level 5 RE'd gun...

Player crafted stuff I'd say use countermeasures and if you're into it missles only... otherwise stick with RE'd...

Stats are all over the place so there's no great single benchmark really...

But here's about what I have... I'm a Master Pilot Privateer

Krayt Gunship 209k mass
Level 9 RE'd Blaster 3.8k damage
Level 8 RE'd Ion 3.5k damage
Level 6 RE'd Ion 3.0k damage

Level 4 RE'd Reactor 13.4k energy
Level 8 RE'd shield 2588 F/B 15.8 Recharge
Level 10 RE'd Weapons Cap 1488 Eng 52 recharge
Crappy booster
Level 5 RE'd droid interface 14.7 time
Level 10 RE'd engine Y/P/R in the high 80's speed about 85
crappy armor
Sensor Decoy countermeasures

I run all the good droid programs RO3, WO3, WCO3, EO3, Shunt 4...

I kill gunboats in 2 passes, destroy Oppressors head on... can solo the vettte (not always) can solo the Star Destroyer...

I have other ships but this is my pride and joy...
