Last night I've looted a level 7 reactor with energy 22k and mass 22k, has anyone seen a reactor similar?

Level 8.
44k Generation Rate.
Somewhere in the range of 35k mass.
Considering there's some Level 8 reactors with 24k mass, it should RE nice...

That's nice and all, but here's what I use in my Duneliz (the ship I use for everything but multiplayer crews)
mass: 1,824.4
gen rate: 11,652.9
And that's actually more than I need.

I crafted some 800 mass 10k power reactors for use in a pair of Z95s my girlfriend and I fly. They are incredibly fragile, but then, so is the entire ship. Once I complete tier3, I plan to trick out the Z and use a full array of droid progs, just to see how naughty I can make it

I have a level 7 reactor that I RE'd to 16k mass and 48.8k energy generation. And yeah, I'll never need that much power. Even in my fully tricked out M22-T, with four guns loaded, I still only top out around 17k energy use.

LOL, some of those reactors have way more energy than anyone would ever need. Even when I wasn't REing my comps, the most I ever remember needing was like 16-17k energy. Now it's down to about 11-12k. Even if a MP ship needed that much power, they have way more than enough mass to fit the most ridiculous reactor in them anyway.

With that kind of power, you could run droid programs without having to overload your reactor, its nice. Also, all of these uber reactors have better mass than a crafted mark V, and much more energy output. The best Ive Looted
Level 8
42k Gen
26k Mass

Well, it depends on what droid programs you're running. Engine Overload 4 makes your engine use 10x as much reactor energy as normal. Weapon Overload 3 is supposed to make your guns use 3.33x as much reactor energy as normal, however that one is currently bugged and isn't using extra energy. Capacitor Overload 4, assuming it follows the same pattern as the Engine and Weapon Overloads should also be making your capacitor use 10x as much energy as normal, however I'm not sure if the Cap Overloads are currently working right either. That all being said, once all the bugs get worked out, the uber 40k energy reactors will probably be much more usefull. For example, assuming that WO3 is fixed, and that CO4 is using the 10x mod, then if you were say flying a three gun fighter, and your guns, engine, and cap all had a reactor energy drain of 1000 each. If you then ran EO4, WO3, and CO4, just your engine, guns, and capacitor alone would need 30000 reactor energy.

I have a great one for any light ships (A-Wing for example) 14.7k generation, 3700 mass.
