I hope this will give you an idea of what the best level 6 engine could be.

Since lots of folks like to RE their prize level 6 engines and since I just passed getting stats on 50 engines I thought you all might be interested in the range of values I found. All the information is from Wanderhome. The 92 speed early prize engines are not included in the data. Numbers are based on stats for 57 engines.

The "Average" Level 6 Loot Engine is...

RED ____ MA ______ P ___ Y ___ R ___ TS
1,644.08 10,995.00 62.65 62.64 62.98 65.45

The "Best" value (lowest for RED and MA, highest for PYR and TS) for each stat from the actual looted engines is...

RED ____ MA _____ P ___ Y ___ R ___ TS
1,305.70 9,032.10 67.90 68.10 66.90 79.00

The "1 in 1000" Looted Engine based on a normal distribution is...

RED ____ MA _____ P ___ Y ___ R ___ TS
1,234.73 8,165.77 72.19 72.51 72.59 83.82

Rememeber that each stat will get a 4% bonus when you actually RE a group of 6 engines. RED =- reactor Energy Drain, MA = Mass, P = Pitch, Y = Yaw, R = Roll, TS = Top Speed

My data supports this as well (MS Excel or Excel-file-capable program required)

My "prized" engine has a 72.6 yaw rating (which would have required a pre-RE 69.8 yaw engine), so I guess it's "1 in 1000." Furthermore, that spreadsheet shows that the same seems to hold true for the L8 and IT'S reward engine, as the averages all seem to fall within 1-2% of that engine's rating.

Also, it appears from the data that certain engine "brands" are better at certain things.

Dang. I've been collecing level 6 engines to find the perfect one for my 92.2. I got EXTREMELY lucky and found a 9250 mass level 6 (might put me under 8.9k mass). This is extremely important for an Imperial, like myself. It means I can put it on my TIE Advanced What I'm disappointed with is the fact that the p/y/r doesn't get into the 70's very well. I've been holding off REing because I haven't found any in that range, but it looks like I'm just wasting my time trying to get that extra little bit out of my engine. Thanks for the post!
