Cross posting this from the shipwright forum...

I hope this will give you an idea of what the best level 6 engine could be.

Since lots of folks like to RE their prize level 6 engines and since I just passed getting stats on 50 engines I thought you all might be interested in the range of values I found. All the information is from Wanderhome. The 92 speed early prize engines are not included in the data. Numbers are based on stats for 57 engines.

The "Average" Level 6 Loot Engine is...

RED ____ MA ______ P ___ Y ___ R ___ TS
1,644.08 10,995.00 62.65 62.64 62.98 65.45

The "Best" value (lowest for RED and MA, highest for PYR and TS) for each stat from the actual looted engines is...

RED ____ MA _____ P ___ Y ___ R ___ TS
1,305.70 9,032.10 67.90 68.10 66.90 79.00

The "1 in 1000" Looted Engine based on a normal distribution is...

RED ____ MA _____ P ___ Y ___ R ___ TS
1,234.73 8,165.77 72.19 72.51 72.59 83.82

Rememeber that each stat will get a 4% bonus when you actually RE a group of 6 engines. RED =- reactor Energy Drain, MA = Mass, P = Pitch, Y = Yaw, R = Roll, TS = Top Speed

Many thanks. You're right. 4%. I've edited it.

Actually, it's:

Level 1: +1%
2-3: 2%
4-5: 3%
6-7: 4%
8-9: 5%
10: 6%

Nice work on that, this is one of those items for which it's really useful to have the high-end loot numbers available.

Sure, if you're flying one of those dumptrucks with wings that pass for heavy fighters. Us Interceptor (and A-Wing, I suppose) pilots need the best possible engine that doesn't outweigh our entire ship, and the RE'd level 6 reward engine fills that bill nicely.

The best level 6 stats I've ever seen are 68.3 pitch, 67.2 yaw, 68.1 roll, 1274 energy drain, and 8912 mass. Not on one engine, of course, and not in an amount of time that can be considered either reasonable or sane, but that's the best I've come across so far.

ah hehe, thought as much, guess the level 10 ones would be a little big hehe

why i like my bomber

Is there anything you can hunt that reliably/frequently drops level 6 or any other engines?
