Thread: About to RE the following gun/engine should I? :)

Hey folks
Been collecting parts for a while - I *think* I'm up to the point where I should press the damn button and get it over with, but thought I would run it past the real experts first - good chance I'm missing something!
Main questions (I think) - Should I hold outfor lower mass on the gun, and higher PYR on the engine? Or are these stats fairly top end as they are?
Best (un-RE) stats as follows:
LVL8 GUN
HP: 609
Drain: 2011
Mass 26211
Min: 2387
Max: 3691
VS: .649
VA: .655
E/S: 14.1
Refire: .400
LVL8 ENGINE
HP: 817
Drain: 1461
Mass: 24782
PYR all 72.x
Speed: 95.4
I'd wait on both.. you can find better YPR engines and even speed can be better (I got a 101.8 speed QID the other day, looking ofr a better one).
And I wouldn't RE the weapon, especially for it's mass: as I said in another thread, I have a 20.5K post-RE lvl8.. I dunno how easy it is to find scu ha low mass lvl8, but it must be possible.. Anyway, I wouldn't RE unless you find a 24K or lower mass lvl8.
At first I thought that 1K mass more wouldn't be an issue, now I'm realizing that even 1K mass less makes a hell of a difference, and I'm glad I didn't RE a lot of top class stuff yet.. Especially if you are going to fly a relatively low mass ship like the Starfighter/Bellbulab, an A-wing or a TIE.
If you need that engine go ahead and RE. The stats are good enough to make you competitive. I would wait on the gun. Remember you can achieve better results on every RE. And if you have months to wait for that last part to drop as loot or on a vendor that is cool. But if it is good enough to make your ship better and you need it sometimes you just have to bite the bullet.
