To be fair, however, you do come from Bria, exploit capital of the galaxy.

Leaph..

It can be done... I should know, Ive done it

I had a 84PYR 96.9 speed engine in my AWing for an PvP event along with a REd Boltdriver

Ofcourse I wasnt able to have a shield in at all... but 1 hit is usually death anyway... In the event I only died once when I went right in front of an JSF... Otherwise I was unhittable hehe

Yeh I know that full well. If you read closer I say it can't be done while keeping the A-wing flying efficiently. No shield is NOT efficient.

After doing some general number crunching, I actually realise though that a lvl 10 engine -would- go on an A-wing with gun,shield etc but you'd have to not get hit at all....which is the mantra I fly by if you've read any of my A-wing related posts before. The thing is though, on Starsider where often you're facing people with JSF..and not just that but well setup JSF , the smaller gun you'd have to put up with on an A-wing in pvp with a lvl 10 engine isn't quite good enough and addditionally..you're going to get hit sometimes even if its by a huge group of npcs in DS. Anyone who says they can -always- dodge fire from an NPC and has never been hit while flying an A-wing is lying and even if thats the case, they havn't been flying one long enough to appreciate what I mean. Everyone gets hit sometimes and so shields are essential..even if they are just mk III's. I flew my first six versions of my A-wing with mk III shields and it worked pretty welll...but that was pre-rotw so in summary, yeh lvl 10 engine is possible, but flying with no shields is totally unrealistic if you want to survive in the long run.

Where are you looting these high speed lvl 10 engines? I only seem to find much slower ones. Usually in the 70's and 80's. Do the ones dropped in DS have better stats than Kessel or other lvl 5 mobs?

Luck of the draw. Deep Space does have the most tier 5's so it's easier to get luckier.

almost fainted when I looted a L10 engine (Republic Sienar Systems Elite Ion Engines) with 39,603.4 mass about a week ago.. wasn't going to even bother starting a L10 engine RE until I found this..

Looks good, this is where I'm at with my LvL10 engine (Pre-RE numbers)

Armor/HP:763.2

Energy: 1620.5

Mass: 43056.6

PYR: 77.4, 78.6, 78.6

Sp: 90.7

I'm lacking in Speed and would like to find a P to match the YR. I'll probably only hold out a few more weeks before I RE this one....)

I think while I decide which pre-rotw alliance vessel to pimp out next, Ithink I'll go hunting for lvl 10 engines. Mycurrent re'd lvl 10 is starting to feel inadequate

too bad your not on my server, i would have gladly donated my looted (level 10) 108.6 speed engine.

Jesus, please tell me that sort of speed isn't 'pre-nerf' - that I can get one of my own...

EDIT: Having browsed the rest of the thread, I take it certain engines have better stats on average, in a fashion similar to the RCT-Z? Is there a list somewhere?
