Is this a good roll for G5 Dirty Drives?

It's not the best you can get, but Iv rarely got better. It also depends on how heavy your ship is.
The modification roll you have is rather good. +40% to optimal multiplier is the best a G5 dirty drive can get you, just mind the mass, try to stay below that number if at all possible. I find myself wondering how much hotter your ship will run now.
not bad...and this was on my 3rd try for my Anni. Lucky as hell with this one.

There you go, that's a good one.
The one in OP is decent (I now have 3 at 136.x but nothing better), but that's a big optimal mass debuff. There was a thread for god rolls in the Engineers section, where someone posted a 142% with 5% optimal mass debuff. Incredible.
Anything above 135 is good.
Unfortunately, on a Corvette, once you get close to or at 140, we're only getting lower double digit increases in speed (from 135).
That really isn't going to make a difference in running away or catching most any ship in the game, just makes you feel better.
For a god roll, it's less than a 5% chance to get a plus 135 from what I've found, and the 140? Probably 1%, so bring your rolls or get lucky (based on a 50 roll trial I did, got a 137).
And the optimal mass debuff, usually when you roll, the mass and the multiplier results seesaw, so getting them both going in the right direction is even a smaller chance.
Isn't RNG fun?
On a side note, the upcoming upgrades are supposed to change the roll results with each roll better than the previous one. That being said, I doubt we will see Corvettes doing 600, FD will probably put a limit on top end for each ship and once you reach it, that's it. (Just a guess, but likely).

I have a 138 g5 on my Corvette and after grinding CIF like a nutter was very pleased. Pushed my light Corvette speed over 308 and I can boost 400 now. If I ever feel my soul needs killing I might try for a 140 one day.
