Shipwright Archive

hi everyone,

I have a couple questions about getting some components RE'd. Also, I have a question about what components I should install. I will list the stats for the components and then, if you can, please let me know!

thanks


ok, for my first question, what can reverse engineering do for these components?

type: CAPACITOR
Armor: 466.9/466.9
Hitpoints: 466.9/466.9
Reactor Eng Drain: 1069.5
Mass: 12598.9
Cap Energy: 700.7/700.7
Recharge Rate: 38.6

Also, does a lower recharge rate recharge faster, or slower that a high number?

thanks all.

I will prolly have more questions for you later, but these stick out right now.

You've listed one component - so for example I've imagined a second (assumed lvl 2 which it isn't, but for example) and shown results:
type: CAPACITOR1 capacitor 2 result (approx)
Armor: 466.9/466.9 480.1 489.7
Hitpoints: 466.9/466.9 480.1489.7
Reactor Eng Drain: 1069.51101.3 1048.1
Mass: 12598.9 11992.311752.5
Cap Energy: 700.7/700.7 720.3 734.7
Recharge Rate: 38.6 36.6 39.4

The calculation is this - take each best stat and apply % bonus (1% for lvl 1 up to 6% for lvl 10). note mass will be extra % reduction, recharge % increase.

Also, does a lower recharge rate recharge faster, or slower that a high number?
Here higher = better. (it's the amount of energy recharged per second)
thanks all.

Hope this helps. Please note you need the same number of items per level (so 6 lvl 6 engines) they do not need the same name, but you will get only one item at the end (so effectively lose 5 lvl 6 engines in exchange for one 'uber' lvl 6 item). Oh, and there is around a 0.5% chance that a part (1/8)of the firespray schematic will appear.

Good luck

thanks for the reply. so, i have to have 2 of the same part, of the same level to get a RE done right?

the part in question is a lvl 6 btw. didn't know that mattered, but i do now. thanks. and i have another very simular to the one listed. it's also a lvl 6 with slighly higher in each catagory.

oh yeah, what is the fire spray? no idea. not been paying much attention to anything latly. lol.

You will need a total number of parts for each RE lvl. If you have a lvl 6 part, you will need a total of 6 parts. So, you have one lvl 6 capacitor, you will need 5 more before you can get it RE.

Everytime a shipwright RE parts, there is a chance to get one of the eight disk to make the firespray. The firespray is a master lvl ship. It's the ship fett used in the movies. I.E. Slave1.

ok, awsome. thaks all.
