I'd like to know this, too. I am currently using a 12273 reactor, which I looted, and I can't find anything better...looted or crafted.

They're not all 12000. I'm running a crafted L.7 16000+ reactor in my TIE Interceptor right now. I don't know if the one I have was crafted only, or RE'd, but it's not the only one I've seen on Naritus with similar or better stats.

Actually reactors go all the way up to 19k. I have a lvl 5 reactor with 13572 max energy, lvl 7 go all the way up to 15523, and etc...you just have to find a shipwright who knows what he is doing cause it seems anyone can make a piece of crap in this game.

i have a 20,000 reactor, but the mass is like 60k.(probly for a Multiplayer ship). looted it off a tier 4 black sun

I'm using a reversed engineered reactor with an energy generation rate of 14500. The same shipwright had some that were greater than 15000. This was on Ahazi. Most the stuff I loot is only 11000 or 12000 at best.

I bought a 16,000 capacity reactor for 5k. But it wont fit on my X-wing with all my other stuff.

I currently use a lvl 10 looted 24k output reactor in my YT-1300. Thats more than i think i'll ever need, really. And, a shipwright can craft 19k output reactors with the prober skill. I still see 17+ k looted ones now and again

What I've observed:
Mark V crafted: around 18.8k generation, 49.5k mass
Mark IV crafted: around 16.5k generation, 19k mass
(I forget the levels lower than this, since I don't use them now. I think Mark III is around 14k power and 11-12k mass?)
I also have a level 8 looted reactor that is 40.5k generation, 36k mass. (And this is hardly the best reactor looted, either.) For level 8, I guess if you are patient enough you can loot masses around 28k. Even 28k would still be too heavy for my Rihk, though. And, to be honest, I don't need more than the 16.5k of the crafted Mark IV in my Rihk anyway (I can Reactor Overload 4, Engine Overload 4, and Weapon Overload 3 with no loss of systems, using 1 Experimental and 2 Advanced guns no less).
I also have an RE-made level 4 (? maybe it was 5) reactor that is 14.5k generation yet weights only 5.7k. I used that in my Dunelizard until I re-deeded the Dune. That reactor is in storage in my bank now for if I ever go back to a smaller ship.
I think the >20k reactors are probably only really useful to people flying a B-Wing with 4 Experimental guns equipped (can this be done with the available mass?), and even then they probably don't need it if they are using Reactor Overload 4. Even the master-level multi-person ships don't need much power since they really can only have 2 guns and missles don't take much power. My YT-1300 (all level 9-10 components) hasjust over3k surplus power with the crafted Mark V reactor I have loaded in it.
It's easy to replace a player-made reactor that has been worn down through the use of Reactor Overload 4 (3 points permanant damage loss after repairing for each enabling of RO4). It's not so easy to replace a looted 'uber' reactor. I haven't even loaded the 40.5k reactor I looted into anything yet since it's overkill for any of my ships' power needs.
