That is a really pretty engine, although the main thrust aperture looks a bit flat.

New main engine for Charon, my titan:

Here's in higher res and without the spinning:

Edit: I made the center brighter... MUCH MUCH MUCH brighter.

not too bad for my first attempt at using depth to detail some engines.

and not too bad for my first attempt at a split hull design.

Is that your core sitting dead center in the picture, unprotected???
Cover up the thrusters, I'd think, to give it more of a ... glowy look, less basic and half-worked. Cause visible thruster blocks are only allowable on microdrones and fighters that can't spare glowy bits.
Idk, if you like it, go with it, but I think if you keep the current light sources, but add some kind of nearly opaque block in there, it'd be great.

Now for something a bit different...

Spoiler: Blade engines

 

[Paullus]

Still a work in progress, the engines are done though.

Interesting color choice,but where are the blood splatters?

Just a few of the Thrusters/Engines I've done.
They're nowhere near as cools as any of these other one though...

Oh great, spinning engines. As if the Charon wasn't laggy enough...

crusade's newer nexus has spinny engines.

Was playing with this old salvager and decided to pretty her up. Added some internal decor and put in some missing systems but I also redid her engines. Enjoy this rear view of the Kabar Salvager Revision X.

not sure if any of my engines are worthy of being next to some of these posted here, but, i do kinda like how i made mine look on my carrier:



if you want any more angles just ask, i know it doesnt completely show everything

hope you guys think it looks good though!

The individual engine cells aren't much to look at, but the way you've layered and arranged the various sized engines looks really good.

Well, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad the arranged pattern looks good, but, what do you mean by they aren't that much to look at? Like, any ideas to make them look better?

Cause this is how most of my engines have looked, and if it's only their arrangement that looks good, then I need to change something about them, so if you have any ideas about how I could make them look better, I would appreciate it.

But I am glad to know the arrangement looks good, I've been looking at tons of engine concept arts and I mashed a few of them together until I thought it looked good.

The individual cells don't have any physical depth or color variation to them. They're just flat blue. Try experimenting with adding depth or splashes of other colors into the engines.

alright then, so, maybe something a bit more like this?



not sure if this was what you meant, but, i do like it

took me like 5 minutes though, so, easily fixable if i change my mind.


EDIT:

or maybe something like this for all the large engines?

Spoiler: engine thing

just saw a few more engines in this thread and thought that maybe this was what you meant as well

 

[Scypio]

The engines are really simple at the moment, need a bit more work. But i'm in love with the crystal.
