Thread: lvl8 Engines vs lvl10 Engines??
8's are good if mass is an issue. I use a nice PYR 79 speed 98 lvl 8 in my low mass fighters, but I'm currently working on getting a nice lvl 10. I've got enough for PYR 85+ but I cant seem to find a fast level 10 engine atm. i want at least 95+.
the level 8 will go in the likes of my JSF, BB-22, while the level 10 will go into my KSE and Krayt.

That's exactly the reason I PvP in my Heavy X. I'm packing a 100.4 speed 82 YPR Level 10.
And that is exactly why the heavy X is the only ship that makes me a bit nervous when I see it. It's a shame more people don't use them.

Its because yeh..the Heavy X has awesome potential, but due to the slower r,p,y acceleration [compared with the jsf etc]and large hitbox it doesn't appeal to new pilots. If you can compensate with an uber lvl 10 engine, it really does kick a** though. I find they're almost invincible with a wingman too. Myself and another pilot were flyign Heavy X's in DS the oher day and we were basically lining up JSF kills and even a few RG TIE kills. The huge weapon spread on the X-wing is awesome for hitting that real small RG TIE hitbox.
However...I still prefer my lvl 8 engine'd A-wing. If I had a bit more mass to play with, I'd use a lvl 10 engine in the A-wing but then I doubt I'd be able to fit in a gun which could actually score damage
