Ooooh... Alright. Does that mean if someone did all three privateer squads they'd have 3 borstel disruptors?
Or is it only a reward for one of the squads, or the first time you get to a certain part of tier 4 in a squad?
All three Privateer squadrons get it, and all three Rebel squads get a similar gun (Tri-Cannon, I believe). So you'd get 3 Borstels for mastering Freelance Pilot three times.

Bump... Someone should realy cut and paste this into a guide in the pilot forums...I would try if I was given permission.

I've been meaning to write a little article about the rarest loots of all (and no, I don't mean RCT-Zs/Vortex Mk3s with 40k+ gen rates...), but I haven't remembered to screenshot the example I was going to give.
...but I've been asked this a lot:
"What's the best type of weapon?"
It's hard to answer, because as with everything ELSE in this game, "it depends on what you want to use it for."
It's essentially the same as lightsabers - 4th gens might do more damage, but a 3rd gen might be faster and more viable in PvP. The same is true for weapons.
That being said, let's use Johnny Theoretical again (I pick on Johnny, but it's a labor of love...).
Johnny, as we said before, loves his three Incom/Borstel L8 reward blasters. There's only one problem, they're .39x and higher in refire. This works fine in PvE, but in PvP, speed kills.
That's why my pick for best PvP weapon level is L7. L7s can be light enough that you can fit two in the mass it'd take for ONE adequately REed Borstel/Incom, and it tosses a lot of fire out there, and the more bolts in the air, the more likely you're going to hit something. For one-gunners like the Vaksai and RGI, L9s are your peaches (yeah, I know I said these are crap, but I've kinda revised my thinking since then after seeing what's possible in L7s) - you can get them to Borstel-level (and sometimes higher) damage, ~67% effectiveness, and POSSIBLY down into the low .3xx or high .2xx range.
So, simple enough:
If you want to kill gunboats, L8s and 10s are the way to go. If you want to kill PLAYERS, L7s, L9s, and "combos" like L7/L8, L6/L8, and others are the way to go.
Of course, even .25x refires aren't going to help you if you can't centerline your target. Never "overarm" your ships - not ALL X-Wings NEED three weapons. Just because the mount is there doesn't mean you have to USE it.

Is there a price list if all the items are properly REed according to these guidlines?
It's really not advisable to SELL already-REed items. That's one of the points I'm trying to make. People are so incredibly obsessed with gaining the discs to build a ship that's HAD it's day - the Firespray is only really truly VALUABLE to faction-specific Imperial pilots, whose ship roster rounds out at the 170-172k mass Oppressor - only to THEM does the Firespray really make sense to own past intrinsic value merely for the additional mass.
My opinion is that if you're gonna get KSE discs, do it using L1/RE1 parts.
However, getting BACK to the point...
You stand to make far more by putting the item out into the mainstream on a trade forum or storage vendor at a "storage" price like 999999##. Turn the vendor search on, and let people see you have the item - then gauge the value that way by the response.
As for a concrete price point - I personally value un-REed "filler" (meaning pieces that might hold value to someone else, but not me personally) at 100k + Level. For items such as L9 blasters, L10 engines and weapons, which people seem to covet due to their scarcity, higher prices can be warranted - maybe 100k + Level x 3 or 4.
Exceptional pieces I value at a minimum of Level x 100k. TRULY Exceptional pieces (which I'd never sell), would probably be at least double the price for Exceptionals. I personally would never pay more than 2.5 mill for a part, and we'd have to be talking about one HELL of a piece of loot.
