Thread: TIE Oppressor in PvP
Actually... a crafted engine -can- be made to be quite viable in PvP... Takes awesome resources and +2 engine mods... an a bit of luck as well... My personally best mk5 sofar have been a 105 speed, 73+ PY and 60 roll.... in a ship like an XWing that haves a nice roll modifier (to compensate) its actually pretty nice...
Mind you, Im not saying it beats the hq starmap engines or lvl 10 REs... But if you have no access to uber REd engines theyre a lot better than the normal 119+ speed SW crap on the vendors

Shaz: Actually I think the mass isnt too heavily hit... have very few if any resource stats below 800ish.. IMO player engines shouldnt be made to be much better than they allready are... If they do, then someday crafted stuff is all we fly with, noone would use loot anymore... I think its fine as it is now..
Btw this engine wasnt a one-time fluke... I craft símilar engines all the time, this one is just the only one with exceptionel results on all 3 lines I experimented on (P/Y/Speed)
As you say, 99.9 of all the SW made engines out there are just crap (high speed might be warranted in PvE... Id personally like the manouvrebility tho).. I think any SW with semi decent resources can hit as high as 67-70, point being, if they have resources to hit 119+ speed mark, they sure as hell can craft some nice PY engines..
FYI, I have and still craft nothing but 95+ experiment components... my personally best being:
Mk5 Blaster: 0.25 refire/3450 max damage
Mk4 Shield: 1987 F/B
Mk5 Engine: 119.5 Speed
Mk5 Engine: 105 Speed, 73 PY
Mk4 Engine: 89.5 speed, 69ish PY
Nice stuff i can match the shields and weapons, but i dont think i have high enough resources to get 73py or 69pyr. Highest so far is 67.6 with 97 top speed.
As for the lv 8 vendor search engines i found 2 :/ there was others but typically they were 99999999999price hehe.
So i have 4 now ...i will continue the search for them tho.
My previous message was in regards to:
"Umm.
Oppressor is Best PvP ship? Far from.
LucifersBane- If you're getting that speed, I'm guessing it's a player made engine.
If it's a player made engine, it can't turn. Sad but true."
Only time that thing didn't one-hit me was with Shield Adjust Front Extreme. 4900+ front shields and 2100 armor takes one hell of a punishment. But, I think she might have had the level 8 on the outside and I dodged the level 10 in the center.
Aya's Adv. X is the only X I won't joust with. Though, I haven't tried it with my new guns, so who knows.
Oh yeah, Aya need's to change her sig. It's not green. It's some funky purple s**t now.
