Heh Orske, I'll let you know if I see one. Last one I've seen sold or traded was just over a month ago, though ("unprintable word," I just realized I've been searching for PYR stats for mine for a month now), so they're obviously kinda rare. There are a modest amount of them out there, though, so something should pop up eventually.

I have 2. Bought one for 2 mil and the other for 1.5 mil. One is REd, the other is waiting for just the perfect counter parts for a nice RE job.

Do anti-decay kits work on ship parts, like engines? I got JTL when it came out and have the prenerf engine, and then I quit for a few months and just recently came back. I haven't even claimed the anti-decay kit yet....but if it works on ship parts maybe this engine would be the perfect thing to use it on.

I have two pre-nerf engines. One is the level 6 engine that all pilot branches got, and the other is the freelancer only 103.3 speed level 8 engine (108.4 speed after REing). I paid 400k for the level 6 not long after the nerf, and I paid 15mil for the level 8 a few weeks ago after searching over a month for one.

1 Pre-nerf I got the day before the nerf while doing storm squad.

I have one of these that I earned with my now-Jedi character but my alt is doing storm squadron right now so he's using it.
Can you ever have a ship component "dead", as in the condition goes to 0 points and can no longer be used. I have 2 more post-nerf engines that i'm keeping to RE just in case my pre-nerf dies one day.

I keep mine in my tie advanced. It lets me attain a speed of 1246 unboosted with EO 3 and still carry 2 weapons (my RE'ed level 7 reward gun and a shipwright crafted advanced blaster).

I picked up a pre-nerf level 6 for 100k two days after the nerf. Same day I earned my post-nerf engine, actually. I haven't been using it much - it's in my Kihraxz and I'm still looking for the perfect parts to complete her.

I'm pretty sure parts will never decay below 10 HP and 10 armor. And guess what the damage on EO4 is?
18.
In other words, a component's functionality can never be reduced or ruined. You might get disabled if you cut yourself shaving, but they've got to get through your shields first.
Though it could be that when your engine is at 2/20 total HP, it'll be operating poorly, at 10% capacity or whatever.. but (correct me if I'm wrong) droid commands don't reset until you repair completely, meaning you should be able to repair 25-50% a few times and have your engine operating without compromise while still running EO4.
Anyway, I'm sure one of my pre-nerfs will be down there eventually, so I'll find out for sure one of these days.
