I have pretty much all my pre-RE parts on a vendor, but I disabled vendor search so as not to do this sort of thing to people.

All the while knowing you would have paid many times that price for that single engine pre-RE.


This happens to me all the time.

Is it just me or has the loot drop rate in DS gone to nearly nothing? After 4 hours in DS last night and Saturday night I got 5 pieces, but I got 40+ pieces doing a single duty mission (reanging from lvl1 to lvl10 but mostly lvl 1 to 8).

ARG! It just got worse. After running around collecting shields... I take a look at what I have to compare to what Im building. What I have is twice as much... 22XX front & back, 14.99 regen. UGH! Sure the mass is high, but my 180k Adv X can handle a 42k shield.

Well, after ALL day hooking, looking, and buying, I came up with 3 simple items. First off what I had was a RE lvl 9 Shield Gen at 2213 f&b, 14.99 regen, 42k massand no armor under that. This is what I had RE'd today with Starmap rewards:


reararmor 2016 at 11.8k mass

front armor 2015 at 11.9k mass

shield gen 1956 f&b, 14.5 regen, 17.1k mass


I think this means I doubled the hitpoints needed to damage my components, andreduced mass by exchanging the one part for the 3 reward ones. I lost .5 to regen. I believe I did well.


On another hand I learned that finding good roll on a lvl 8 engine is harder than it should be, and the lvl 10 beamrails are nearly impossible to find suitable hardware to mix it with. These I guess will come with time.


I still have 22 reward components left (thanx to my great guild members). Quite a few of those are just fillers.


The moral of the story is I did it, so can you. Work it baby, make those uber parts. Its a pain, and takes some effort but already with the easier parts.. my ship is much improved. Just wait till I get those 4400, 4200, and 4100 damage beamrails on.

Careful, certain people might think you're a RE Fascist trying to tell people what to do with their loot!

I'm now in Month 4 of my L7 weapon project, and i still need a decent mass, refire and EPS.

And the damages could really be improved too. It never ends.

Add to that my L8 engine, L8 weapon, 10 Engine, L9 weapon, L7 Reactor (i just want one of those big pool ones) and L4 Cap projects, gonna be a while till i'm done.

Its shocking after all this time i've only got 1 piece of equipment i'm happy with.

I am!




Actually, I just think it shoudl be pointed out I'll pay them more for the item un-RE'd than I wil post-RE. And if they just want a quick RE for KSE disks, I'm more htna happy to supply junk stats.



My big project right now is a level 6 shield for my TIE Interceptor. I found a rear HP of 1600+ two days ago...that's just below my level 7. If I can find a front shield with similar HP I can take a small defensive hit and maybe work in a bigger gun or some ordinance. Of course, after months of farming, I only have 1 level 6 that's 1600+.

The filler parts are the easy ones - it's the initial stats that are hard to find. I've been working on a starmap engine for...um....ages now. And is still sucks.


I farm a full cargo load nearly every day, sometimes twice a day. That's 130 parts per tripoff T3/4/5 ships, and I'm still not finding good stats to finish some of my REs.


Worse is when you get close to finishing one - like my level 6 RE Engine with a pre-PYR of 68.5+ - and you find something exceptional, like a level 6 engine with a 70.1 pitch pre-RE. You just go nuts knowing there must be more like that, out there somewhere...


For the stats I want, I'd pay any price. It's not a matter of money though, the parts just aren't out there.





For the last time it was 70.1 Roll, not Pitch! It was my mistake the first timeI told you

In hindsight I wish I would have held out a bit longer on my lvl 6 engine RE.


BTW. I didn't loot that lvl 6 engine, I got it off the bazaar for 10k. Hehe.


Stay strong and don't RE it until its perfect!

Pitch, roll, do you know how much happier I was before you told me about that engine?
