Crafted components are always good to start with. As time passes you collect more and more pieces for various RE projects to gradually replace your crafted equipment. Some crafted equipment though is going to be tough to beat.

Reactors and Armor are the only crafted things that fall into that category. And blasters if you're into the quickshot upgrade (.260 refire delay).

Engines should be collected for REing to improve the YPR. Speed doesn't really matter as much after you get to a certain point.

REd Shields, Capacitors, Boosters and DIs are usually better than most crafted stuff you can find.

Personally I have a few great pieces of loot I'm saving until I get the best of the best components to RE them with, so I'll be using crafted things for some time to come.

As to what things you are looking for...thats really up to you. You'd have to explain more about your ship of choice anduse (PvE or PvP) before I can really start giving out specifics.

Generally dead on except........

boosters can be situationally better when crafted but lose something for better stat (ie high spd = long regen,short burn, not unheard of to have better booster top spd on lvl 1 booster than lvl 4 but dbl regen time and 8 sec burn so very need dependant)

DI's unless you have a pre nerf a crafted MK 2 or 3 is better than any RE'd until around lvl 8 than about same

No thread about space loot would be complete without spaceLoot.com.

what components do I need to loot rather then craft and what level do you suggest. I read a few guides but some conflicting opinions and got me a little confused. Please help just mastered and now want to build a decent ship.
