BTW, i just looked at my QID again, here's the stats:
Pitch:69.4
Yaw:64.5
Roll: 64.3
Top Speed: 82.0 (not 82.5 like i thought)
Mass: 29985.3
I think i should get a badge for gimpiest QID on the server!

Please forward your responses to the developers. In this day and age..no pilot should be denied his chance at a good engine! (Where's Sally Struthers when you need her?)
What really sucked is that it was a PITA to get at CL 54. Hard work (well for a game anyway)=shaft!!

All I can say is 73.4 pre-RE on any PYR won't be enough for a 1.4 mod.
A friend of mine and I are/have been doing some testing using REed and unREed components. We've locked down the 1.3 mod trigger at around 71.7/71.8 (71.8 is confirmed, 71.7 we couldn't test - because we didn't HAVE one), and the 1.4 is SOMEWHERE between 77.1 and 77.8 (quite possibly AT 77.8, if the separation between values is 6.0).
77.8 *IS* confirmed (by the two of us) as a 1.4 mod, though. You need 74.1 minimum pre-RE to achieve it.Message Edited by KaylBreinhar on 07-22-2005 05:26 AM
Oh i got a whole lot of farming ahead of me.
YPR drops have really been sucking the last couple of months.

tried a search, didnt quite find what im looking for.
Im kinda curious, whats the top speed a Quantim Ion Drive can come at?
Reason is, after a very ahh.. "productive" hour or so in DS, i was shopping on a whem and saw a 96.6 top speed QID for 3.5 mill. Well, its not like i got anything else to do with my money so i scooped it up. A good engine is priceless in my opinion, credits can always be rearned. Engines.. not really. Still have to do the quest myself, so maybe ill get lucky and get a better one.
GOtta say though, i already have a 24K mass L8 engine, and a 1480 or so reactor drain L8 engine too. Ohhh this has the makings of a Mo'Fo'er of an engine. Just need some Good YPR now and im set.

Just procured a 71.7 roll - it gave 1.3.
So, that answers that - I can say, with 99% certainty, 71.7 is the 1.3 trigger point, because 71.6 was 1.2. So if it is a 6.0 separation, that makes the 1.4 barrier 77.7.
Now all I have to do is find a 77.6 and 77.7 to test.

Intresting. My guessitimate was about 5 units of listed engine YPR to make 0.1 on the chassis mod. I guess i was close, but not quite right. 6 eh?
71.7's are alot more feasable, 74 and up seems hard to find.

You're half right.
I'm talking in PRE-RE values.
From preliminary findings, I can theorize:
71.7 is the 1.3 trigger (confirmed)
77.7 MIGHT be the 1.4 trigger
83.7/8 MIGHT be the 1.5 trigger
And speaking on a Fujita-style scale of possibilities, 88.7/8 MIGHT be the 1.6 trigger. You'd need at least an 83.7/83.8 pre-RE L10 to have even a shot at it (works out to 88.722/88.828 respectively), plus 1.6 might not exist.

Youd need the support of established toons on whatever server you do it on for any efficiency in the farming i would think.
