Just curious what some of you have gotten your Mk III reactors up to. I'm using one right now that I think is level 3 (Mk I?) and it's somehow got an output of 12k. It's the best I've been able to get so far (friend got it for me, I'm no shipwright 
). I just reached 2211 tonight and I'm wondering what I can look forward to in terms of reactor output. I realize now many of you are limited by resources, so I know this isn't the final number. Just curious... thanks!

Well I AM a shipwright and so far the best I managed was 12.5. I wondered about this too. I can make Mark 1 reaactors with 11650 and a mass of 1250. My Mark 3's are more than double the mass for only a 900 energy output gain. Not sure if someone made a booboo with this or not

Fortunately for everybody power usage doesn't go up nearly as much as tiers increase. Actually energy usage increase is negligable for most things. The only reason you need big reactors in high level ships is because of multiple gun and missle mounts. If mass isn't too much of a concern throw an overcharger on it. I have a mark 3 with overcharger and 13.5k output. The mark 4 I have is 16k output for my bomber, more than enough.

I have gotten my Mark III reactors up to 14.8k....So it is higher than a mark two and some good resources help out quite well. 
This is on Corbantis as well

Ok well is there anyone on Bria who is able to perform this 14k+ reactor feat? I'm up to lvl 5 components and nearly at lvl 7 ones.

I'm on scylla and i can break 14.25k with under 8k mass onmy Mark III reactors

"Re: What are your Mark III reactor outputs?"
Not much better than mark I.... and the mass increase is crippling.

The mass increase is only crippling when you are trying to put it in a Tier 0 ship from my experience.
My Mark III's with a overcharger component and decent but not great resources maxes out at about 13.4k or there abouts I think I got one to 13.8 but that is about it.
With superior resources I'm sure the max is well above 14k

Thanks for the great replies folks! I'm wondering how high reactors really can go... seems like this is really going to hurt the potential many people saw (including myself) for the multi-passenger ships. Maybe not though, we'll see!

Reactor energy output range (0%-100% experimentation, no subcomponents)
Mk I : 8925 - 12075
Mk II : 9350 - 12650
Mk III : 10200 - 13800
Mk IV : 11475 - 15525
Mk.V : 13175 - 17825

Using an upgrade I got a bit higher
Mk I : 8925 - 12075
Mk II : 9350 - 12650
Mk III : 10200 - 13800 with upgrade 14,500 (not sure on exact figure)
Mk IV : 11475 - 15525 with upgrade 16,400 (not sure on exact figure but know it is 16,4XX)
Mk.V : 13175 - 17825
The radioactive on intrepid is a yellow bar, so if we get better radioactive for the upgrade, I think we could add another 100 -200 output.

Yeah it seems like the reactor output is seriously borked. I looted a mark 2 reactor that had a higher energy output and half the mass than the mark 3's that i crafted. How are we supposed to provide enough power for 2 weapons and all the other crap.
