Man, I'm gonna have to move to Starsider I guess... 
Very very cool engine, best I've ever seen.

That, i wouldn't doubt, could quite possibly be the best single engine, in the entire game, accross all servers.
Are you sure?

I've got that engine beat in every stat except speed and mass:
858.4 armor/hp
1480.7 drain
22204.7 mass
75.9 pitch
74.9 yaw
74.9 roll
92.9 speed
My pre-nerf level 8 beats both of yours except for the mass on SwordNMace's, though its pretty close...
Overstar Industries Harbinger-Class Engine
Comparing pre-nerf level 8s to Tomo's pre-nerf level 6 isn't exactly fair, though, since they really are completely different engines that fill different rolls.

Two fairly important categories, yes?

He sure can, in fact, I give him permission - my father's an ass.

Yeah, the pre-nerf I bought for it had been beat up a bit. I would have liked to RE it with a post-nerf for the armor values, but I needed 6 different engines for the other stats, so there wasn't any room for one.

Speed can be a big liability. When I get behind a player Y-Wing, or a particularly slow X-Wing, sometimes I have to slow down so much my handling's actually worse than theirs.
lately ive been flying a basic tier-1 tie-fighter: 20k mass, the highest yaw and pitch modifiers in the game, and from the outside has the same appearance as the noob ship. to top it off, it has the starter ship handling so it turns great at ANY speed. i threw my post nerf re'd lvl6 in it for S&Gs, and it was insane how manuverable the thing was, but i could only fit a lvl4 gun and mkII shield. ive settled on a lvl4 engine with 76 speed and mid 60s on the ypr. this leaves me with enough mass to cram in a good lvl5 gun, and an re'd lvl4 shield that matches some mkIV crafted shields. toping off the loadout is a lvl1 reactor, a lvl2 cap, a chaff launcher just in case (a since IR2 would do me in), and a mkII booster that gives me a sprint speed of just under 1400.
i fly around at 400 speed, barely turning, and taking shots at people; basicly doing my best to look like a clueless noob. then when i think ive got one to bite, ill send out a /duel. im 10-0 right now, having taken 2 y-wings, a rhik, 2 krayts, 3 x-wings, a b-wing (piloted by dashka, not some newbie who had no clue who i was) and an a-wing; all in one day, the most action ive ever got in one sitting. honorable kills? no... but its still the most fun ive had in this game so far.
but back on topic, what you have there is the best legaly aquired fighter engine i've ever seen. one thing i dont like on it though is the armor, my lvl6 re engines are around 560; makes them a bit harder to take out, and, should i eat it in normal space, take more decay before wearing out.

Really nice stats Tomo btw.
Ive been working on a post nerf lvl 6 engine for a while now but the stats are just getting too great for me to RE with a postnerf speeder.
Got a8.5k masserand i recently got a -->71.9<-- pitchrate engine
.I can still work onYRbut i doubt i will get emover 70 before RE.
Now i just need to find someone who wants to sell his prenerf unREd engine on ahazi.
