Thanks everyone...here is the revised loadout:

Reactor - 12247 gen, 1253 mass

Engine - 76/74/72, 83 speed, 22.9k mass (same)

Shield - 2555/2555, 30.6k mass (same)

Front Armor - 1540/1540, 2530 mass

Rear Armor - 1206/990, 5892 mass

Capactitor - 1332 energy, 40.2 recharge (same)

Booster - Level 4 RE, 2039 energy, 26.3 speed

DI - 15.2 speed, 6451 mass

Weapon - Advanced Blaster, 1527-2569 (.48/.48), .26 refire (same)

CM - Sensor Decoy launcher, 2440 mass

93825/96658

I'm pretty happy with this setup, I think...I don't think there is too much more I can do to it that would make a lot of difference.

When I took her out for a test flight, I ran into Icib in DS. Went 2 rounds with him, and while he got me both times, I almost had him the second, and both fights lasted a fair amount of time. If I catch you online before the event Dmitry, I'd be happy to have your help in more testing. Now if I can just remember to run shield adjust before a 1v1 engagement...

Thanks again everyone for all of the help. /cheer Pilot forum

Edit: I swore to myself I would not do this, but...I do have a pre-nerf DI. I may just stick it in here so that I can mount a missle laucher, or make an upgrade somewhere else. Call me a fool if you like, but I really try to put myself on even footing with newer pilots, and the mass savings from using a pre-nerf DI are not insignificant.

You're right... the YPR on theMark IV is crappy. My bad. I thought it was better than that. Time to start looking for stuff to RE. The mass and speed are better than yours, but the YPR is bad.

Hmmm... I coulda sworn the Mark IV I have in my Advanced has better speed & YPR with lower mass. I could be totally wrong about that, though. /shrug

The biggest problem with crafted engines is you can bet the reactor drain will be much higher than an RE. Making it more difficult to run EO4. Plus PYR on a crafted might be decent but it certainly won't make the 75 range. Even a good pilot with a high speed engine is handicapped if he can't turn well. Just ask the Vaksai pilot I vaped the other day. He was good and knew how to get alot out of his ship. But when he really needed to turn he couldn't quite make it.
