I am pretty new to the space scene, and just qualified to fly the JSF. 90k mass is a big improvement from what I am used to but I had no trouble hitting that limit with only a few components.


I am currently qualified for tier 7 equipment, so I installed 2 tier 7 guns, a tier 7 engine, and atier 7 shield. This got me close to 90k mass and I still needed many other components.


What are some example configurations of JSFs out there? Which components can I get by with less? Any tips would be appreciated.

You should be able to get by with a 1Kish reacter, look for 13k generation rate.


1k capacitor, look for 30ish regen.


1kish booster


I found most level 6 engines are comparable with level 7's. That puts you in teh 9-14k range.


if level 7 guns are heavy, try shipwright crafted Advanced cannons, they might weigh less.


Honestly, most of my Actis is taken up by a RE'd level 8 shield.

What are you trying to stuff into it? Are you using all crafted equipment or looted? At your tier, I would use a Mark IV shield, Mark IV or L6 reward/REd engine, and 2 Advanced or other L7 blasters with a mass around 15k. You can get by with Mark I or II armor, even no armor. Drop back to a Mark I or II reactor.

If you want to just buy all the parts so you can get this puppy into space, I can build you a loadout.

As a SW on bria, I've set up mine and those of a few customers. Here is the list for crafted components that I can recall (at work nad can't check) I strongly recommend droid programs reactor OL3, Cap OL3, weapon OL3 and engine OL3.

Level 1 armor front and back
Level 7 crafted engine
crafted level 3 reactor
two crafted level 7 blasters
any droid controller w/ less than 5k mass
crafted level 5 or 7 sheild (can't recall the mass for each level here at work)
crafted level 5 or level 7 capacitor
crafted level 1 or 3 booster

Now, for a better setup:

The reward level 7 shield from Nym's starmap quest REd to 17k mass, recharge of 14 and f/b of 2000+...not bad for a level 7. I grew impatient, but I'm sure the loot to RE for a lower mass and higher recharge is out there somewhere.

I've found two REd level 6 blasters w/ 2700 max damamge.

Shop around for level 4 capacitors (I recently REd four level 4 caps that resulted in mass of 3k, cap energy of 900 to 1100, recharge of 40+ and reactor drain of 800+. My personal REd cap that I use is 1060 energy, 2400 mass, 44 recharge and reactor drain of 750. Can't be drained w/ cap OL 3 running. I have a few on vendor for sale that are close to mine, but they are expensive as a result of all my tedious shopping for the right pieces. Shop around, you'll see that any cap over a level 4 is a waste of precious mass. Bring them to me on bria and I'll be glad to RE them for you.

Have two REd armor of 6 w/ 1300 hitpoints on mine also now. Have 10k of mass to spare, but saving that for a REd engine and better guns.

Everything crafted. I have no looted components of any value. Basically, I am trying to figure out what parts are most necessary and my working assumption was guns, engine, shield, capacitor, reactor in that order.


Unfortunately I found that using crafted level 7 items for all of these components left me with no free mass for things armor or boosters or other ordinance.


I thought th reactor needed to be high level, but apparently it does not. As soon as I am able to get tier 8 equipment, I'll stop by your vendor and see what you have.


If there are any Ace pilots flying this ship, seeing the gear you put in your JSF could be very helpful.


It also looks like I need to figure out this RE stuff. Who knew space was so complex.

My PVE loadout for my JSF is a bit nuts, so I'm not sure it'll be that much help:

RE'd level 10 gun (3000-4600, 39.2K mass)
RE'd level 6 gun (2000-2800, 8.5K mass)
RE'd level 6 pre-nerf engine (95.9 speed, 72.5/71.5/71.4 PYR, 7.7K mass)
RE'd level 8 reward shield (2550 HP, 26.6K mass)
RE'd level 2 capacitor (41.2 recharge, 1040 energy, 1.7K mass)
Crafted level 1 reactor (12600 energy, 1.3K mass)
Crafted level 1 booster (33 speed, 1.3K mass)
Level 1 pre-fix droid interface (14.5 speed, 500 mass)
Chaff launcher (860 mass)
Crafted level 1 armor, front/back (240 HP, 970 mass)

It rocks the Kasbah. If you're going with crafted, though, two level 7 guns, a level 7 engine, and a level 7 shield should only come out to 60K. That leaves plenty of room for everything you need, and should let you put on some heavier armor and a faster droid interface.
