Following 2 very recent Player's Requests regarding the status of Engines and Thrusters, the definitive answer is:
For the foreseeable future Engines and Thrusters are to be treated as purely cosmetic ie. ooRP.

Imagine wanting to have people earn certain things but are told "no its cosmetic". Stupidity. So much for providing an incentive to people for interactions and a sense of achievement.

What the hell are you people on about? They're engines and thrusters. They're all identical gameplay-wise and the only method of cosmetic customization available (outside of lights). It's nothing like making weapons and ships available to everyone.
Which, by the way, you still have control over, so stop whining about something this minor and let people have pretty colors come out of their ships' asses.
