I've been looking around quite a bit, and so far I think that this might just be the best reactor ingame to date:

Level 7
Armor: 509.7/509.7
HP: 509.7/509.7
Mass: 16,135.023
Energy Generation: 48,892.797

Reverse Engineering brought the mass down from around 21k, and the energy generation up from 47.something k.

All I need is a Firespray to drop it in.

Wow.

Level 10 Gun
I'm not ingame right now, but here are the rough stats...
2600-4880
45k Mass
.340(ish) Refire Rate
22ish Energy/Shot
.68 vs Shields
.69 vs Armor

I cried later in the day that I made this....because I bought a gun that had Vs. Armor/Shields up around .78ish. This bruiser, however, is in my TIE Advanced...yes, I put a 45k mass gun in my 66046 mass Advanced.

Hmmmm, I am curious how you justify 24K mass in a capacitor? Granted a 1400+ capacitory is uber, but if you can't even drain the 1200 capacitory then why add an additional 14K mass just because it's better.

To me this whole process is about juggling mass versus functionality. If a Level 6 capacitor at 1,200 can get the job done, at much less mass, then why use the Level 10 RE'd loot even if it is better? That mass can be used on a higher level RE item that matters if it's better, like say a weapon, or sheilds, etc.. where higher mass almost always equals higher functionality that impacts your performance in space.

Now that Level 10 capacitor might be great in a Decimator for instance where mass has no issue. But in manage our lower level ships everything should be a balance/juggle between mass/funcationality and which components we can "just get by with" and those that we can uber out.

I also assume through these discussions that folks are using everything at their disposal such as Reactor Overload 4, etc.. when flying. As an Ace pilot I certainly do. So while a 24K Reactor is great, why add the extra mass of it if my hand crafted 17K Reactor never runs out of energy?

"Level 8 Shield

Reactor Energy Drain: 2459.4
Mass: 29967.4
Front Shield Hitpoints: 3545.1
Back Shield Hitpoints: 3545.1
(Front/Back normalized to equal values)
Recharge Rate: 14.55"

Sheild shifted Level 8 quest reward sheild. Didnt think anyone would have the balls to post stats for one of these and claim it as legit lol.

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone would post one of those, too. Funny thing is, his isn't even as good as they can get. If you use two of the Level 8 reward shields, you can get both front and back up to 3832.5. (Don't ask me how I know.

I'd argue that mine is better.

Level 1
Mass: 984.1
Energy: 12832.5

That's a 13.04 Energy to Mass ratio. If I could craft reactors like that, I'd be able to make Mark 5 Overcharged reactors with about 650k of energy!
