I do realize that resources vary greatlyfrom server to server, but I am trying to getsome idea what a good Mark V shield and Blaster would look like stat wise. I have not found too many Mark V anythings on ship componentvendors. This makes it kinda hard to know how good these items can be made with good resources. There simply are few (if any) samples out there to look at.
Last night I obtained a Mark V shield that had 2143 shield hitpoints front and back and a recharge of 14.55. This was far superior than the only other two Mark V shields that I could find (slim pickings really) so I wentahead and bought it.The one Mark Vblaster that I saw had 2019-3034 damage. I will admit that I was hoping for more of an improvement over the Mark IV blasters that I am currently using (1624-2537). Since I pretty much came up empty blaster wise, I have even less of an idea what a good one would look like.
Please post what you would consider to be a good example of a Mark V shield and MarkV blaster. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Its a good shield, but I think they can get even higher than. it sounds like it was enchanced with an intensifier.
i made 18.22 recharge but with only 1800 shield points. installed it on my friends decimator. he seems 2 like it

That shield's pretty good. My best is 2166 HP back/front, 14.64 recharge. That blaster, on the other hand.. when I'm going for damage, mine are 1855-3760, .352 refire, and when I'm going for speed, they're 1914-3302, .263. So you should be able to find better than that if you can find a shipwright to put one together for you.

I have 2 blasters that are REd that make anything crafted look poor. Lets do a raw damage comparison.
Raw Damage of crafted blaster:
.463 vs sheilds and armor for blasters
1851.2 - 3775.5 with a 0.352 refire rate
857-1747 damage, which is an average of 3698 damage per second
Now for the REd blasters raw damage:
2856.8 - 4664 with a .38 refire rate
.82 vs sheild, .8 vs armor. Ill use .8
2284.8 - 3731 average damage of 7915 per second
So, the REd blaster has over 2 times the damage of the best crafted weapon on the server. Id also like to point out that if thats an experimental crafted, energy drain is probably around 2500, on my 2 REd blasters of similar stats, one has an energy drain of 1900 and the other 2200. An experimental usually comes in at around 39k mass if memory serves as well, these 2 REd are 43k and 47k, so not really much worse.

but don't forget that your REd is lvl 10 and crafted is lvl 9. So best crafted can never be the same as best REd anyways. Not sure if a REd lvl 9 blaster would be that much better as well.

The 9s tend to be crappy, and pale in comparison to the RE8 tier 4 quest reward. The point isnt that my RE is level 10 and a crafted is 9, the RE could be level 48 and it would still point to the same fact: The blaster you can loot and RE is twice as good as anything a shipwright can hope to make.

Still it takes a lot longer to get all pieces to RE a lvl 8 - 10 weapon than to just buy or craft it. Besides i don't know many people who really got lvl 8 or 10 weapons REd. Ok, they are very good in comparison to crafted. Still i see that as a reward for those uncountable hours i spent in space already. It's nice to get some usable reward as normal player too for a change.

2100ish front and back with 15.3 recharge
1800ish front and back with 19.2 recharge
those are the 2 types of MK5 shields i stock.
blasters - 3100 damage .265 speed .5 vs
disruptors - 3200 damage .265 speed .92 vs/.17vs
ION cannons - 3200 damage .265 speed .17vs/.92 vs
ive gotten max damage blasters to go as high as 3600 but i dont sell them because the speed is .350 ish and thats just too slow once you've fired a .265
