Look into pairing an L7 and an L6 together before thinking of putting an L10 on an A-Wing.
L7s have speed, L6s have effectiveness, and both can put out substantial damage when paired.

42k mass C10 gun == pretty common.
I'd say ~10% of them drop <44k mass, which RE's down to 42 or less --- and since it takes 10 guns to make 1 RE'd... :}
Not so rare as all that.
You should see where else you can shave mass. Since you run just one proj., a small C2 cap would do, a crafted C1 reactor, a crafted C5 or even C3 booster if you use one... basic chaff launcher is under 1k, and pre-nerf DI is 500~ish...

Yeah, I have one L10 blaster that is 45k out of 17 that i have collected, so Not real common but out there. But, a question for you guys. At this point the pre RE best stats of my 10 selected level 10 blasters puts my stats as:
armor/hp: 777/777
reactor: 2128
mass: 45k
shields: .790
armor: .790
damage: 2667-4538
energy: 40.0
refire: .380
Is that about as good as it is going to get? I figure with an 8% gain I am looking at about a finished product of:
armor/hp: 839/839
reactor: 1958
mass: ~41.5k
shields: .850
armor: .850
damage: 2880-4901
energy: 36.8
refire: .350
Trying to decide if I should go ahead and RE or wait for something better to come along to add to a stat or two. Any suggestions?

It's not an 8% gain - to the best of my knowledge:
RE1: 1%
RE2-3: 2%
RE4-5: 3%
RE6-7: 4%
RE8: 5% (since it's the only level at x4xx pilot)
RE9-10: 6% (and yes, I'm sure of this)
RE1: 1%
RE2-3: 2%
RE4-5: 3%
RE6-7: 4%
RE8: 5% (since it's the only level at x4xx pilot)
RE9-10: 6% (and yes, I'm sure of this)

That is correct, about the stats for % gain on RE.
However, occasionally, completely at random, you will get a LEVEL % gain.
When this happens at C10, that's 10%.
It has happened to me 3x now, twice on a C8 and once on a C10.

I'm gonna have to disagree with that... I've looted dang near 60 L10 guns and the lowest I've seen is 45k mass. 40-42k is annoyingly rare for L9 guns...

Then it's either server-specific spawn variation, I'm really lucky (along with my 11 other pilot guildies), we don't have the same hunting habits, or some combination of the above.
Somehow I don't think I'm just "that lucky".
On the other hand, I've never looted one over 4250 damage base personally, but I see people posting over 4500 all the time... (pre RE)
Luck of the draw...

Where do you hunt? I do deep space and only deep space, because of the FP and massive spawn rate... (for more FP)
