Pilot Archive

I'd say 90-95% of them have already been "removed" by accidental sales, deletions, departures from the game, and the like. Many of the remainder are in the hands of collectors, who often have more than one, thus effectively removing even more form circulation (you can still only fly one ship at a time).

If by asking for removal you're implying there needs to be some kind of purge, I disagree. Think of the edge a prenerf grants as similar to the way Slicing work at the moment. The better an item is in the grand scale, the less of an advantage slicing it will be. Similarly, the better a pilot is, the less a particular component will improve them. A prenerf may make someone better, but most of the people who have been playing long enough to have them, are skilled and experienced enough that they don't need them, and the engine isn't the deciding factor in the fights they win.

I can't wait for the flames on this one, but anyone who thinks about it objectively will see the balance goal of "nerfing" the reward engine has been largely accomplished, especially with the improvements to shipwright engines.

Bring it, gentlemen.

if only i started h00ring and aced when JTL first came out

but have no fear my level 8 will beat all of yours mwaahahahahar...

Oh man, every now and then when I'm going over the bazaar I see some lame RE'd 6 with like 78 speed, 10K mass.. and then a pitch or yaw stat at 71-72. Then I get sad.

I found one on my server with 71-72 YPR and the speed on it was only in the 70's. The idiot had not even used a post nerf lvl 6 reward enginefor the speed. What a waste.

I took a closer look at all my lvl6 engines....and they actually all suck except one: 1350 drain, 9997 mass, 69.2/69.8/70.8 YPR and 82.2 speed. I realize that none of those are the best possible for a lvl6 engine, but I find it amazing that it has so many good stats on one engine It blows away the post-nerf reward engines thats for sure. Can't wait to get the mass on it down and stick it in my A-wing or grievous

did you check to make sure it wasnt already REd? Make sure it has a line for RE level....ive made that mistake before

Hehe Nope droid, I haven't bought any engines at all of vendors or the bazaar, it was looted and promptly stuck in a drawer in one of my many space loot storage shed. I only discovered it a couple days ago when I was moving everything into one big house, and selling off all the junk (selling 125 pieces all at once is annoying lol...700k was nice though). Since then though I have been searching for a low mass engine to finish it off
