yes but why, all the engines are exactly the same with different colours. there is no "should not be allowed" about it.
If you got engines that are all different to each other stats wise (which is a very bad idea) then I could see why you wouldnt want x ship to have x engine, other than that its just a complete moot point and is a huge waste of time to nerf it before its even been a week since they came out.

If you go down the "what doesn't make sense shouldn't be unnerfed" route with engines, we are back to 1-3 engines per ship (2 of which look the same but sound differently; Civ & BW). Some might get more, but most won't.
I love my GRN and Kusari Engine'd Nyxes...Nyxs...Nyx...Nÿx?
Btw, OC have no engine of their own, they have the BW line engine.
Every ship pretty much is very limited in their engines if you go by what makes sense. That brings me back to the "do we really need the technerfs, can't we just go back to the techtable with "free-use"-green cells, "permission-required"-yellow cells and "SRP-only"-red cells?" ... :|

Aaaand. Mollys, BHG, Order and Corsairs using same engines is OK?

Can I seriously have an engine that makes FLUFF shoot out of my ship?
That would be AWESOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME

Dunno... Maybe because of this weird thing we try to have around here called "roleplay"?

Yes, as Zayne mentioned above, what about the logic behind Corsairs, BHG, Molly\Rogues, Order using same engine? I guess engines are not really THAT dependent on the house after all.

Read the infocard maybe?
Meanwhile, I'm having so much fun reading this thread I'm not even sure about telling you guys how wrong you are about the approach techcompat may take with engines. Assuming the engines do get added to the techcompat, it'd only remove engines of one or two regions at most from the variety of options each ship can pick from, not the other way around.

We'll see.
In fact there is nothing funny about it considering that no one bothered to explain how it'll look like so we're only left to guess about the incoming change. In that case it could be wise to come down and post the explanation on how the feature will be working exactly to save the forum space from the useless discussions. But of cause not.
