Why do you always ask the really hard questions?

I think I have one that's around 1500 pre RE, but ill have to check and let you know.

Man, I got ganked.

.. my Nym's rewards were a 90 speed engine and a 4000 max blaster

I keep the Corellian gun even if the stats suck for the simple reason that the effect is really really cool. BOOM BOOM BOOM

Every one of the shields I've seen has a really high HP, in relation to other L7 shields. When RE'd to take advantage of that, with the added bonuses of low mass, high recharge, and much lower reactor drain than a 1900hp crafted, it becomes a very nice shield. Need to look at the big picture before you judge a reward.

I do like the effect too.. to bad it's the only one with it.

As for the shield I have a handfull of RE'd 2500 shields, and it didn't really have any desirable stats for re'ing.

If I still had a master sw I might have kept it for a filler piece, but .. you know how these storage limitations go.

I usually keep ones that are below 2000.

I have a UnREed 1600 drain level 8 engine at home Tomo, so i think you've just had some bad luck.

Yeah but this is sooooo much lighter than a 2550 I understand if you got shafted on the hit points, but most of the ones Ive seen have 1850+ front or back, and a mirror can be found to end up with something 2k+ post RE. A sweet little shield that would allow for heavier gun or engine in one of the new ships.

Well, my level 6 engine has an energy drain of 1274, my 10 has a drain of 1361, and I found one today around 1320. These are exceedingly rare, but they're out there. Meanwhile, my best 8 is like 1515, and I've looted a lot of 8s. That's poor, 10s beating 8s all over the place

Complicating matters is the fact energy drain doesn't get a %-based increase when REing. That's a shipwright bug I wouldn't mind seeing fixed.

Actually, just heard from Merry of a 1387 drain level 8 she's got. That sounds kinda reasonable, though still on the high side of awesome.

For the starmap quest I have done it twice and got almost identical components... the Engines were both 95.x speed with 69.x PYR. The guns were both 4050 dmg.

A friend did it last night... got a 110.x speed engine, and a 4600 blaster. The git!

Why would you want Energy drain to go up post-RE??

[I know what you meant, I just tease]

Be wary, my friends. My buddy did it with his main and alt toons and didn't get a weapon over 4100, but he did get one engine of 100 spd. They're always good quality parts, but I thinking more and more, I just got lucky...

The level 7 reward shield is also nice, got it to RE over 2000+ f/b shield, 17k mass w/ recharge of 15. Fits nicely on my JSF. The reward blaster is a level 10...don't remember the stats on mine.
