Thread: PYR on level 8 engines

I'm working on a better one atm, but my current lvl 8 engine on my A-wing was this.
The speed from the Quantum Ion Drive off the Nym starmap quest which gave me 93 as a speed prior to Re..I think.
The r,p,y I had on my engines pre re were in the 70's but I know one of them for the pitch had a pitch of 75 before re.
mass wise, it is perfectly pheasable to re a lvl 8 egine to a littl eover 22k mass.
the stats on my a-wing lvl 8 engine after RE are:-
Mass: 22614
Top Speed: 98.5
Pitch: 79.4
Yaw: 76.2
Roll: 76.2
and the energy drain is around 1500 so this thing runs EO4 rather nicely. This engine strapped into my A-wing allows me to compete with even a good pilot in a JSF rather well...even though I still refuse to shed even a little amount of respect for a JSF.
For general interest's sake, the (max) r,p,y achieved by this engine is 1.4 for Pitch and 1.3 for roll and yaw.

[What I'm aiming for with this new one is a higher top speed...only a tad though. This one I got is 97 speed prior to RE and I'm waiting for r,p,y of 75 prior to re so I can achieve that r,p,y around 79 after re...but this lately I looted 10 lvl 8 engines and all the r,p,y's on them have been terrible...like in the mid 60's which isn't good enough]

I better get back to loot farming. I have lost the "arms race" for better parts

I know how you feel, thought I was doing pretty good too

I've got a few engines that are faster for RE, but those YPRs kill me.
a 0.1 diffrence of YPR can make a big diffrence.
A few degrees at close range, turns into a progressivly larger gap the farther out you go.
in my experiece pre RE r/p/y - over 72 - good,over 73.5 - excellent, over 74.0 - exceptional, over 75 - legendary (these terms having nothing to do with the old weapons terminoligy)
I dont know what you all feel on this aswell, but ive looted 2 73.5's+, and a number of 72+on p/y, but have yet to loot a roll better than late 69's, and thats whilst making 50 mill prestige in the last couple of months. Are high roll value rarer than pith and yaw or is this unsubstantiated?

22100 Pre-RE is possible, ending up about 21000
Heh, at least now I know you're still playing...looked at your vendor again recently - I'm trying to find mid-to-high .6xx L7s. Got every other stat locked down EXCEPT friggin effs. :/

Probably a reward engine as mentioned, and you DO want it for the speed. When you're looking at such high level components for RE purposes, only one stat is needed on each, and here it should be speed.
The Haor-Chall is useful for one other stat when REing with a QID - armor/hp - you won't find better on any other engine, and the post-RE rating will be around 850 points - quite nice considering that NPCs love to target two components over all others - engine and reactor. The QIDs generally have hp/armor ratings in the high 400s to mid 500s.

I looted me a real level 8winner last night... YPR of 67/67/67 and a mass of 43K. The thing is best used as a doorstop at Jabba's Palace. Why do I only loot really, really lousy level 8 engines?
That sounds like a reward engine, what was the name?
It wasn't the reward engine unless the Death Watch in Endor is dropping them now. My level 8 privateer reward engine is in the parts bin and will most likely go unused as my starmap engine is a 97.3 part.

Use it in the QID RE - the armor/hp rating on the rewards is better than any engine you'd find.
Armor - reward
HP - reward
Mass - engine 1
Drain - engine 2
Pitch - engine 3
Yaw - engine 4
Roll - engine 5
Speed - QID
By my count, that's 7 engines needed for the base stats, plus one junker. 800+ hp/armor on an L8 RE might just give you more survivability in PvP, as the more hp between you and an opponent means the higher likelihood of surviving a hit with no component damage, and thus, a second chance.
