Okay, I have been collecting level 10 engines for a long, long time. So, my question, is this baby ready to RE? Is there one stat I should wait to make better if not?
I am really looking forwards to your advice here.
Here are the stats BEFORE re of course:
Armor: 740.3
Hit: 740.3
Drain: 1559.9
Mass: 44506
Y: 78.2
P: 79.7
R: 75.1
Speed: 90.3
Thanks for your time and thoughts.

All aspects could be better, but only 2 doesnt fit my "minimum" requirements for a lvl 10RE
Roll; min 77
Mass; max 42k

i would say the only thing that you could possibly hold out on would be top speed. if you wanted to hold out long enough, you could probably get a lvl 10 that's at least 94, but besides that, it looks like a pretty deadly level 10. i would love throwing something like that in an opressor.

guy on my server has 86 PYR lvl 10 engine, you might be able to do better in that department

I'd advise trying to bring down the energy drain a bit, too. If you can find one between 1300-1450 or so, it'll be that much easier to run EO4.

It depends on how patient you wanna be. You could do a little bit better in pretty much all of the categories. If you wait until you have something better in every category, then you might have the most uber engine in your galaxy, but you wouldn't be using these parts anyway. I'd go ahead and RE this one and just save L10s that beat these stats for your next one. That way, you'll be able to use this really nice engine you've put together in the meantime.

doesnt running EO4 do damage to the engine that cannot be repaired without decay? I usually run RO3, EO3, WCO 3, and WO3 to prevent decay?

With a 75.5+ Pre RE engine, i'd really wait for at least a sub 1500 drain engine.

Nope, my level 10 engine is
Armor: 694.3
Hit: 794.3
Drain: 1328.1
Mass: 43177.3
Y: 83.9
P: 81.4
R: 82.7
Speed: 100.5
and it could be better

EO4 does cause decay, but if you head to Deep Space or repair 25/25/50/100 at the end of each flying session, you won't see any permanent damage.
Personally, I'm lazy enough that if I'm just messing around with PVE where I don't really need top performance, I don't always bother with EO4 and go with EO3 instead. But any engine I planned on using on a regular basis had better be able to run EO4 without sucking my reactor dry.
At the same time, the advice about REing what you've got now and building a new one later is really solid. The parts you have are consistently good, but there's nothing outrageously outstanding that would be "wasted" in REing with merely good parts. So, like he said, you could put this one together now and have a very nice engine to mess around with. Waiting on truly remarkable parts can take a while--just ask Kayl, heh heh--so REing this one now would have you flying better for however long it takes to build that next one.
Edit: Though to waffle a bit more, that pitch and yaw is pretty nice, so I'd at least try to get in the 1400s with drain before putting it together.
It's not too hard to find level 10s below 1500.

I was able to get mine to 83 PYR and 99.4 speed, 41k mass after RE. You might try for a faster engine.
