Hi hi, I'm a master shipwright and I got some questions for you.
1) What is the highest damage looted weapon you've found, along with it's equipment level. Inlcude the other stats if you have them.
2) What is the highest looted engine speed and P/Y/R that you have found (include equipment level)? Also include other stats.
3) How often do you find the "uber loot". Do you find something good 1 times out of 100? ! out of 400? Or 1 out of 20? Let me know 
I am asking this because I've found that it is quite possible to craft items as good or better than most loot in many cases. However, this is just my experience and I'm hoping to compare notes with some of you who have seen a lot of loot pass through your inventory.
I'm not looking for info on RE'd items, just any spectacular loot you've found that PRE-RE.
Thanks in advance!
(edited to include question 3)

Loot is meant to be RE'd. Can't have a discussion of the "best" without allowing for that.
That being said, I have looted Reactors that were 39k and 29k generation pre RE. both around 17k mass.

There is absolutely NO way to make an engine with decent PYR and speed to compare to even average loot, nevermind RE'd.
Weapons either; you can get either a decent Ion or Disruptor but not both - and ComboGuns are the very best of the best.
Crafting items that can't compete with RE'd loot in at least some form, is a waste of resources... and using loot without REing it is self-defeating.

We most certainly can. It depends on whether or not you're willing to give me the pre-RE info. And thank you for the stats on the reactors, that is the information I am looking for.

i just got a 4.5k max damage level 10 gun REd. i agree that certain items crafted by shipwrights are a waste of resources, these are cpapacitors and engines (unless somebody wants one for an mp ship)

This is not the info I am looking for. I want numbers, not generalizations. If you haven't found crafted items that can compare that's cool, but I am looking to know what the STATS of these items are PRE-RE. Thanks

Nice gun!
I must add a second question, how often do you run into loot like this? Is it like 1 in 100, or 1 in 400?

Stop chiding us with what you "are" and "aren't" looking for. Post some numbers on what you make that you consider good, and we post if we have better. 1st_Vid's post isn't about generalizations, its hard conclusions based on his experience as an SW and a Pilot. Loot is only meant to be usedby itself until you have the correct number of parts to RE, its the design scheme of the system. It's sad that correctly RE'd loot can beat crafted in almost every area, but its true.

I am being very clear about what info I am seeking.
To quote my first post :
"1) What is the highest damage looted weapon you've found, along with it's equipment level. Inlcude the other stats if you have them.
2) What is the highest looted engine speed and P/Y/R that you have found (include equipment level)? Also include other stats.

Yes it was a generalization that he offered. While I'm sure he meant well,he provided no numbers. I think it's great that he's come across such good loot, I am interested in numbers of such loot. Once again, numbers, if you please.
its hard conclusions based on his experience as an SW and a Pilot. Loot is only meant to be usedby itself until you have the correct number of parts to RE, its the design scheme of the system. It's sad that correctly RE'd loot can beat crafted in almost every area, but its true.
Once again, numbers please. Thats what I'd like to see. I am not questioning ANYONE's experience, and I am not debating that top-notch RE'd loot is often better than crafted. I am under the current impression that such loot is on the rare side of the spectrum, but I wouldn't know- which is why I am asking you guys. I'd just like to see the numbers of the best loot many of you have had the pleasure of finding. I'd also like to find out a little information on how common loot of this quality is found. This is all stated in my first post.

I looted this same gun 2 weeks ago.
The best engine i've looted was about 80 speed, 65 p/y/r and 35k mass, level 8.

Thanks guys
How often do you run across this kind of space loot? I know loot like that doesn't exactly grow on trees, but how long would you be hunting in space before loot this good would pop up? 99% of the loot I've seen is not very good- RE filler at best. So I've either been very unlucky with loot, or the really nice stuff (which I am always hoping to learn more about) is more rare than the "buzz" I've heard about. Maybe both

hmm, I think it depends on what I'm hunting, really. I've gone in to deepspace a few times, and blown away more reb fighters than I'd like to count, and gotten pretty average loot. Altho, I'll generally hit DS for an hour and come out with one or two items worth keeping. Maybe.
That gun I mentioned before was actually looted while helping someone on the Engineer Escort mission lol (Storm Squadron 2222)
Then again, I've gone in to Tatooine in my Decimator, and hit the Tier 2(?) Hutt Bomber spawns, looking for a reactor that was over 12k gen rate, and took over a day to get one I wanted.
