Thread: Fastest crafted engine?
I made a 118.5
Using the same resources I cano't break 118.3 since the last pub.
Some people have broken 119, I guess I need better resources.
I wish I could remember the YPR on my starmap engine, but I believe it was pretty good. Too bad we can't put at least one crafted engine in the RE analyzer. That would be really sweet.
The engine speeds here sound really good. I'm looking forward to playing around with this.
I mastered Rebel Alliance pilot last night and then crafted up a Mark V engine to toss into my Advanced X-Wing. I kicked the speed up over the maxxed out speed on the Mark IV Engine I had in my Advacned X-Wing and then spent the remaining points on YPR, which resulted in an engine nearly 6 points above the YPR settings on the Mark IV. (I am going from memory, I don't have the actual stats right in front of me at the moment.)
I went up in my X-Wing and not only was I significantly faster, it felt like the Advanced X-Wing was suddenly 4 times as maneurverable. Which means, I will be focusing on YPR quite a bit more then I used to, from now on.

It's quite a revelation don't ya think?

It was quite a revelation. A very happy revelation.
Those Tier 5 Oppressors will go down much easier now. I just need to figure out how to pack in a faster recharging Capacitor, work on my guns to use less energy per shot and then off I go!
BRIA SERVER:
Mark V - 119.5 Speed with 61 PYR and27k something Mass
Mark V - 103 Speed with 69 PYR and 33k Mass

However, the YPR rating of an engine is somewhat overrated for the following reasons:
1) A ship chassis only uses a percentage of the engine's capability. Thus, YPR can be affected greately by the type of chassis.
2) This value represents the rotational velocity (measured in degrees per second). Invariable, the rotational acceleration is much more important, as this determineshow fast you can start or stop spinning on a given axis, and even more imporant, how fast you can change direction.Rotational acceleration is determined entirely by the chassis. Thus, against, the chassis is more important.
I'm not saying that an engine's YPR statistics aren't important. However, I have observed both theoretically and empirically that the type of chassis plays a much larger role here.
