# Space Component Loot Quality

# Space Component Loot Quality

We have completely overhauled how looted Space Components are evaluated for their rarity and quality!

**What Changed?**

- Previously, the overall quality of a space component was incorrectly evaluated based on your Pilot Certification level. It is now correctly based on the **Reverse Engineering (RE) level** of the component itself!
- In addition, the game will now evaluate the component's **Hitpoints** when judging the overall grade.
- The overall component grading has been simplified from 8 tiers down to **4 Tiers**, providing a much clearer picture of how good a component is: 
    - **Legendary Quality** (Gold) - The very best stats, hitting the upper threshold of the component's potential.
    - **Epic Quality** (Purple) - Highly sought after component stats.
    - **Good Quality** (Blue) - Above average stats, very solid components.
    - **Entry Level Quality** (Green) - Average or baseline stats for a looted component.
    - **Junk Quality \[Sell\]** (Grey) - Component stats that fall below the 85th percentile. Safe to sell to junk dealers.

This change ensures that players who hunt for high-level space components will finally have their loot qualities and grades accurately reflect the strength of the component!
