New, un-RE'd level 6 pre-nerf engine: 10M
Two vendor-bought supplements: 660K
Hours spent killing tier 3s, combing the bazaar, and obsessing over stats: 36 (well who knows really, but "countless" doesn't follow the pattern)
The new centerpiece of my PVP Interceptor: Priceless
Man does it feel good to have that over with. If I'd been willing to wait until the sun burnt out instead of merely through a couple ice ages, I know it'd be possible to hit 73 PYR post-RE.. but a man can only hold out so long before the constant barrage of "New toy new toy!!" from his brainstem takes over.
What makes me so happy about this engine is it's so well-rounded. I've never seen a lower mass or energy drain on a level 6, which has already let me drop my reactor down to a level 1 even running EO4. So not only have I bumped my PYR 4-5 points each over my old, Rebel-beaten pre-nerf, but I've effectively freed up an extra 2K of mass. It's like double Christmas.
The sense of accomplishment in putting something like this together is part of what makes JTL so special.. even if the wait in the meantime can feel like hell.

Every stat on the engine is excellent. The PYR stats are as good as a lot of people's level 8 engines, and the mass and reactor drain are so lowthat even Jesus would do a double take. Congrats on finally getting it put together.

Gratz. This is an area a lot of people haven't got the patience for but gives a real warm fuzzy feeling when you end up with something like that.
I'm working on a fully RE'd B-Wing. Should take another 3 or 4 months but it's going to kick ass when it's done.

When I first looked at the picture, for some reason I thought the energy drain was the mass and my jaw hit the ground.
That's one heck of an engine you got there, Tomo. Congrats.

Tomo...I hate you. So much. I don't think I can ever look at you again without feeling obsessively jealous. GIVE ME YOUR ENGINE!!!

I wouldn't want to face you with that engine in their Tomo
Doesn't look like I got much of a choice if you PvP a lot on Starsider...*gulp*

That is a nice piece of equipment! Good work.
I'll bet the phrase "I CAN'T SHAKE HIM!" is often uttered by the pilot being tailed with that engine.
