They're supposed to match.
According to...what?
The loot item. I've got a number of loot components that have a cert level of X and an RE level of Y.
They don't necessarily need to be the same. It can really throw you for a loop at times.

or shouldnt match
I didn't, but I know that there are many that don't.
I'm asking why you think they should always be the same? Has a Dev told you this? Is it in a guide somewhere?

therses no reason for them not to match. theres no advantages (on loot, dont know about the starmap shield) to having different cert levels (i havent ran into a part where the cert level was lower than the RE level) as stats of the part reflect the re level and not the cert level.
also, i have only seen this discrepancy rampant in DIs, not so much so in shields. none at all in reactors, weapons, engines, armor maybe.

Apparently you haven't done much space looting, ![]()

I loot lots. the only DIs htat have the discrepancy are the silver looking ones. so again i win.
Win what? What does anyone care about DI's?
nm, I'll just take that to mean you DON'T have an official confirmation on that, and it's just your personal opinion, hehehe

I'm curious. What, exactly, are you winning?

cert and re level are supposed to match, period. there's no logic in them not matching unless you can explain to me why they should or should not match. and until then, discussion is over, as i can see you just want to argue.

Why would there be an RE level if they were supposed to match? The cert level would have covered both nicely.
