Not sure how many agree, but personally I think the standard white pulsing libertonian engines dont fit junker ships well - particularly larger ships like the salvage frigate. Considering how large the junker faction is, on top of having almost a full shipline to themselves, could we get some unique engine effects?
My vote would go towards using the rheinland engines and recoloring them yellow, I think it'd fit the look of junker ships quite well - having the appearance of a more rebuilt/uncontained engine.
I have to say I very much agree with this. Junkers should not have a typical liberty engine.
Now RP wise I sorta understand it. Junkers always seemed more present to me in liberty than anywhere else, though I know it probably isnt true statistically. However liberty does have the type of economy that is most conducive to junkers and it may be easier for them to do shady dealing there, I mean, look at the IND. I think an engine that looked like a rebuilt liberty engine might also be cool. maybe off a little in color to imply it isnt burning as clean, and if you could make it sputter, that would be awesome.
That seems like it could work. I always thought the Salvager would look great with Rheinland engines, so something similar has my vote. Though I think something more of either a yellow-orange or a yellow-green would be good. Or have them the color of Magma Hammers?
I think junkers should have mismatched engines, like a blue one on the left and a red BHG one on the right for example, they ARE junkers so these engines come from floating junk.
otherwise, the existing Rheinland engines already look yellow, make them look like it's continuoisly firing mamga cannons backwards, i thing the messy blue/red engines suit <strike>them</strike> us perfectly
we dont want to look like rainbow ships nerdrage =P
The rheinland engines are green, making them yellow would match the color scheme of junker ships (as far as current textures go) and makes them look a bit less "clean".
The problem with going brown/orange is that council and maquis ships use that effect already, and junkers arent exactly friendly with those groups.
Another possibility, on top of using yellow rheinland engines, is to add a graphics effect hardpoint to the engine location on each junker ship that produces that black/grey smoking effect we see from damaged ships, or on mining ships. Makes it look like the engine is smoldering a bit.

I'd fly a rainbow ship! D:
I didn't know the rustic red/brown was already taken. I haven't flown around Gallia much at all. Perhaps a little Gallic influence in the Junker engines? The GRN have purple don't they?
