Thread: 119.x Engines: How?
OK I can hit 117.6 with 72% (13.9 speed)on the overdriver and 95% on the engine itself.
Would it be more beneficial to get the overdriver up to 90% or more? I am having problems finding good silic ore for this. What is the cap on bonus from the overdriver? Anyone know?

Heya Everyone,
This question is for those SW's out there making the really nice 119.x speed engines. What are the stats on the resources you're using to make these beauties? I'm assuming my deficit is with my iron and my radioactive, as I'm fairly sure I'm using the best Steel/Sil Ore/Alum. I know not everyone likes to give away these type of trade secrets, but just in case you don't mind.... : )
Best,
I am hitting 118.7 for Mark Vs IIRC.
I only have the 3rd best fermionic ore on Shadowfire for my overdrivers tho.
Steel: Opaninaeine Duralloy 991 OQ / 649 CD
Aluminum: Ploha Phrik 989 OQ / 718 CD
Iron: Mito Kammris 973 OQ / 472 CD
Radioactive: Adamule Class7 959 OQ / 967 PE
Yeah that rad rocks, wish we had some here and i might be able to make 119.7 speed engines.

Thats an amazing radioactive you got there on Radiant. Best radioactives we got on Gorath are 900/942 and 992/785 PE/OQ. With steel/iron/alu with oq 990+ my best engines are 118.9 speed.

For the Mark V Starfighter Engine (Speed experimented to 99%):
- Aluminum: 730 CD, 997 OQ
- Iron: 480 CD, 982 OQ
- Radioactive: 984 PE, 979 OQ
- Steel: 581 CD, 994 OQ

Not just great resources, but an engine experimentation CA would make this easy.
Wouldn't make any difference on speed. With top quality resources(sorry, don't recall the stats) I max speed at 119.1 and still have 5 points left for PYR.
Thank you all for the friendly advice. I got my hands on a small amount of Adamule radioactive (couldn't find any Omati, but thanks for the heads up Fish, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled) and some better OQ iron and I finally got my engines up to 119.3 speed. The YPR still suffers with only 5 exp points to move around, but I'm very happy with finally breaking through the 117.x barrier.
Now to get some more good radioactive.....always a difficult task : ) I have a feeling some more exp tapes will be on the trade forums today, all Shadowfire SW's head to the starting gate, lol.
Best,
