A 113.4 speed engine mark 5 engine, nothing exceptional ever since the patch (my Y-8 has a 114.9 one). But the thing is that this engine was sticked in a tie interceptor honorguard meaning that my normal speed is 1134. Add engive overload 3 and I'm above 1450. Add boosters and it's over 1700.

My speed with overloads is enough so that the rebel space station in deep space can't even shoot me. Did we um... push it too far?

yeah a low mass..mark V engine on a Awing or arc-170 (which is pretty much a high mass version of the awing, with aft turrets) would be crazy, too. i got a 28k mass engine i made, mark V, on my high-mass xwing.

You don't have to. You use the speed to get behind them then you match speed and blow them away. I was blowing up tier 5 oppressors and aggressors in my heavy Z-95 with just a new 89.9 mark IV with 61 YPR. The oppressors were total cake and I'm just a 4444 pilot. Of course the supernaturally accurate turrets on the aggressors still had no problem hitting me at 1104 speed. Later I made some even nicer engines. Can't wait to try them out.

Imagine tacking on /ethrust to that.

Thats an interseting question. I was having trouble against very low level ships last night because I was getting too close to them. I had to back off the throttle on my Arc170 to kill them.

/ethrust seems to reset any overload programsthat Ihave running. Any one else having this occur?

got you beat... i broke the 1900 mark tonight my greivous fighter maxed out at 1987 tonight .. was alot of fun trying to buzz the station at that speed. here is a link to a pic. http://home.comcast.net/~bleddry/screenShot0917.jpg

Haha, I got you beat with a 118.7 speed Mark V engine on Flurry =P. The trick to getting em way up there is highest OQ on EVERY resource regardless of other stats. I did get the P,Y,R over 61 on all of em too on that same engine =)

The Mark V overcharger came out +14.97 when i made em so I made a crate of 11 of those. The thing is, what do I sell these ridiculously fast engines for now tho? Since I only have enough to make 11 of em =/

EDIT: forgot to add that the mass of these is around 34k too =)

Perhaps take what you usually sell engines at and multiply it somewhere between 2-4 times over... that should make it a nice tidy sum

Man this makes my old record of 1471 seem like nothing.

heres my view of this they should beable to go that fast. why? becuase in the movies they go that fast some dont but some do.
