[Equipment] Broken event AI engine

[Exterminator]

Type: Equipment
Bug: Installing this engine on AI Drone increases its speed to 575 m/s

Reproduction Steps:

• Log two AI ships that you got from the event /restart months ago
  
• Notice that AI Drone has no engine slot and yet this engine can be mounted/unmounted at will, similar to armor.
  
• Without the event engine, AI drone cruises at regular VHF speed of 525 m/s. With the event engine AI drone has its cruise speed increased to 575 m/s. From my understanding, it's like having two engines at once.
  

I talked to an admin because the AI bomber lost its event engine, turns out thanks to engine check plug in, due to not using the correct engine "class". After undocking with this engine mounted on my bomber, I got kicked out and plug in removed it.

It was a different story with AI Drone, which kept its event engine. So, I noticed that this specific engine gives speed advantage when used on AI drone and we realised this is a serious bug. I think since AI drone does not have an engine slot/class, the engine check plug in doesn't detect a wrong or dual engine being mounted. Due to having no assigned class, this engine may possibly be mounted on other ships that have an inbuilt engine just like AI drone, but that requires testing to make sure. Somehow I keep running into broken or wrong engine bugs in past year or two ._.
