There are only 2 engine sins per ship, and in 95% of cases, the QID mimics the nicer of the two. It's one of the few that give the alternate look on an Awing too.

Yep theres two types ones usually 'old' looking and the other is newish looking. Example is the X-wing; old looks like the movies (4x cigar type engines) and the new one looks like |-| (wings closed) with thin bars of exhaust.

I know the reward lv6 is the 2nd type and so is the QID.

One of those "other" cases is definatly the Krayt. I hate the alternate engine(on that ship).

The alternate engine style tends to look fairly stupid on Frelance ships, in my opinion (of course, it is also my opinion that Freelance ships look fairly stupid on their own), but awesome on Rebel ships. Especially the Z-95 and X-wing. I forget how they look on Y-wings, but something makes me want to say that it rocks.

on the y-wing, it looks almost exactly like somebody superglued the engines from teh Starship Enterprise onto a Y-Wing chassis lol.

Glzmo was a great visionary. Perhaps SOE should have listened to him instead of rebuilding everything all the time.

Unfortunately my A-wing has the alternate look. Everybody likes it except for me . I just want a standard look. I'll get it though with my next lvl 8 engine project.

first time i saw the curved wing thingies on the a-wing in kashyyyk space, ive wanted one ever since. its bad@$$... of course, i went freelance pilot, so that hurts my chances of flying one with curved engine wing thingies........
