Pilot Archive

I've finally hit ace pilot, after taking a very very long vacation from SWG. I've been reading a lot here that crafted engines, while fast, dont measure up in the YPR department to RE'd ones.

That is all good and well, I guess, but I do not understand yet how RE'ing works. If it is worth the time spent RE'ing the countless masses of loot I gain, Id be willing to drop my ground combat for shipwright and whatever else again, but before I do that I would like to understand the process behind it.

What should I look for in engine components or whatever else to RE?
What is required (besides SW) to RE?

Is it rare to get anything worthwhile or is it fairly common you get good stuff out of it?

- this thread from eclipse should be stickied or whatever you call it here- i found it an excellent guide when i was starting to get RE again.
