you didnt loot the gun or the engine, you got them as a reward from doing the starmap clone relic quest. funny though, cause my "quantum ion drive" was about 92 speed, why did you get a faster one?

you can easily re this thing for about 75 ypr and undedr 25k on the mass.

anothing thing you get from re that you dont with crafted is a low reactor drain. you would need one MASSIVE reactor to run engine overload 4 with a 2400 drain engine, but with my 1300 drain re engine, i only need a mkI with 12k output

With my 116 top speed engine I only use EO3. That way I don't need that honking reactor. Funny thing is I can no longer use follow target when i'm lazy and following a wingman. I keep on overshooting him. (using a Krayt with a speed of 1064 with out using boosters or EO3).

Don't listen to the haters!! That engine is amazing. It won't compare to the crafted ones once it has been reverse engineered. Don't be impatient,just wait for the perfect counterparts to RE it... Find engines with PYR of over 70. You'll evnetually find a nice low mass one too. When you get the mass down around 25k you'll be all set. Drop that sucker in and watch that Oppressor roll. Be really nice in a KSE too. I would put it in my Y-Wing or maybe outfit an X-Wing for PVP with it.

QFE

I have a couple parts that ive RE'd, and later on wish i hadn't when i found a lower mass part then what i used.

/salute

Nice loot there Vegitaa. Got it shooting ships or as a quest reward? If it's loot, where did ya get those beauties?

Quest reward, I figure that for about... 24 hours at most I'll have one of the nicest engines on Ahazi.. right up until Viduus or Ritha go get themselves hooked up too! LMAO!

Oh yeah, and as far as why were my stats on this reward higher.. from what I hear they are somewhat random within a specific rango. so somewhere between 90-99 opn speed, I'm sure YPR is randomized slightly as well.

(*Cough* *Cough* Nym's Clone Quest *cough* *cough*)

/bow

Many thanks! I'll have to get started on that one.

actually be thankful cause you can get lvl 8 RE'd down to mid 23k mark much better than the 33k mark

Acutally crafted engines are NOT better, not by a longshot. They're too heavy, they have too high of a reactor drain, and the YPR is a bit too low. I'm a master shipwright, i can make myself any one i want to however i want to, and i still wouldn't use one.

That engine you have there will probalby RE out to about 105ish speed or so (rough guess). If youve been saving your parts, you can probably RE the YPR out to at least 74, id aim for 75+ personally. Mass, you can get as low as 23K to 26K on L8 engines. Reactor drain probably down to about 1400-1500.

So im predicting a finished product of around 105 speed, 74YPR, 26K mass, 1500 drain.

That is a schitt hot engine!

Now, my question is, where did you get that engine in your picture there?

---

good guess comes out to 104.58, so assuming they round and not drop, 104.6

Why are so many ppl runninglvl 4 overloadsnow? Did the devs take away the extra decaythey caused?

No. Most ppl who run EO4 are PvPing. its practically mandantory to stay compedative. Decay is still there, but all you do is pop into DS for a minute for the 100% no decay repair before you land.
