Proposal
It would be nice having other things dropping from RE with low drop-rate. Like ship components (ie: Mark 1 Engine Overdriver) with stats varying from poor to great, a dice toss at this point.

Obviously, you cannot get a Mark (1-5) Engine Overdriver by RE Capacitors.
Justification
I've read a lot of "Credit Sink" solutions in the PV lately. The credit generation issue start mainly because of how easy it is to make money in space. A solution like this would potentially help lower the generation of space credits.

Shipwrights could improve their offers of space parts to other players in their vendors.

If that is profitable enough, maybe Shipwrights could buy ship parts from other players with a higher than 700 cr per level.

I think a change like that shouldn't be too hard to implement as the drop-rate logic is already there with the Schematic Framgent (and the Droid Interface Scanner).
Motivation
I do a lot of space duty missions to get parts for RE, right now I REEN low levels (1 to 4) in hope to get the Schematic Fragments. As for level 5 to 10, I keep the goods and sell the rest to Chassis Dealer for big profit. Right now, I prefer receiving 10x7000cr (lvl 10 reen) than hoping for a schematic fragment and be left with 1x7000cr REd space part.

I would consider RE the poor LVL 5-10 parts in order to get potentially good components that I could use in crafting ship parts.

As of now, since I try to have every stats of a parts among the best, I end up having an armoire full of let's say lvl 10 weapons. Soon, I will have to clean it up to make room. Right now, the obsolete parts will end up at the Chassis Dealer.

I want to make it worth RE every space parts!
Note: I tried to look over PV to find out if something similar was proposed and couldn't find anything.

Currently, reengineering (RE) generate 2 things:
  1. A ship part made with the best stats of each parts used with a bonus percentage base on the RE level
  2. Low drop-rate for "A Kuat Systems Engineering Schematic Fragment"

I would improve the 2nd part where you get low-drop rates items for RE ship parts.

NO..... subcomps are craftable by Shipwrights already so theres no need to have this added.

I understand and I agree that they can be crafted already, I'm just trying to find ideas to have poor space parts a new meaning besides being sold to the Chassis Dealer.

If it's not subcomps, it could be something else space related, subcomps were the first thing I thought of.

Maybe it could be a new "Component Analysis Tool" that works like Droid Interface Scanner that doesn't even gives a REEN Ship Part. You gamble your space parts for maybe getting something worth it. Again Low Drop Rate.

Sadly though, I cannot think of any other things that would make sense than subcomps...

I lived in SWG space back in the 2000s, I'm back living in space, I know it's not scheduled for tomorrow but I can't wait for Publish 3.0 with the Capital Ships and space improvements.

As part of the Decay proposal It was suggested that in order to repair RE parts that you would need raw junk loot to do this for example to repair a RE w8 you would need to have 8 looted w8 to do this...Stats would not matter,

components can be used by a shipwright to reverse engineer the ones you find.
