Ive been saving them up for awhile now, most of them being junk ..the combined PYR is P=75.7 Y=78.4 R=76.3 Top speed=92.7( still waiting for a better top speed).I know these arent the best stats but is there any way to find out what those speeds could be after an RE? Wasnt sure if its random or if there is a set percent improvement..thanks for any help.

From my RE experience (limited still), you should get a 10% improvement on those stats (1% for each level). If this is incorrect, someone please correct me. Thanks.

Percent improvement on level 10 is 8% I believe. though I'm not a shipwright so I can't tell you for sure.

OK, I was WAAAYYYY off. lol
I pulled this from the FAQ's in the shipwright forum:
Level 1 components: +1%
2-3: 2%
4-5: 3%
6-7: 4%
8-9: 5%
10: 6%

I sure hope it is..that would make one crazy quick engine, just about one shipi could use it in though.

You can use your lvl 10 in just about any ship you choose to. You just have to know where to sacrafice components. Or what you would rather give up.
I still fly a Regular Xwing. yes Regular lol And I have my pride and joy lvl 10 in that thing. 43k mass so I use almost half my mass from teh get go. But I have only 2 guns, no armor, no CM's, no Missle launcher, no booster.. lvl 1 DI, lvl 2 cap.
I also set up a Regular Interceptor, Yes regular lol with a Lvl 10 engine believe it or not. 42k mass.. but i'm limited to a lvl 4 wep, and lvl 2 cap.. absolutely no shields or armor. no booster either..just engine, wep, cap, di, and a reactor to power it all. I pvp'd in it for the first time last night and the thing performed beautifully. though I went up against a JSF, flying with Starscream, and I nailed that ship 5 times and only got him down to 50/50 shield/armor lol.. i'm glad Starscream was there with his lvl 10 gun to finish him off for me
Feels like a real Interceptor now.
Feels like a real Interceptor now.You just have to be willing to sacrafice certain things for more manuverability. I may drop the lvl 10 to a lvl 8 in the Interceptor and see what happens. But with that lvl 10 I was flying circles around that JSF, had no prob staying on his tail.

I'm planning on throwing my RE'd level 10 into my Nova.
The key for a Nova is to have high YPR so that, if you want to, you can turn quickly and get a lock with IR2's. It's the only ship where having a 40k mass engine won't bea big deal either.

The prob with the nova though is that the acc/decl is horrendous... you could get out and walk faster then that thing gets up to speed.. and down to turning speed... but i suppose if you went into the fight at the
right throttle it could help.. but even then you go passed your target and woops, it keeps on goign before countering back the other way.

I've got an Elite Booster on mine with 54 acceleration. If they ever fix the hiccup that stops you after it drops off, giddyup and go will be the LEAST of my problems.
