"Forseeable future."
Hey, ever heard of something being the case "for the time being" and not "permanent".
Shouldn't have dropped out this declaration perhaps but eh yeah, it's not like it'll stay like this forever.
Right now it is blurry simply due to the implication of "faction owned" thrusters and engines which manifested more and more over the past years.
Either it's straight out removing their faction status (rendering them fully ooRP forever, not just the forseeable future) or give alternatives which are purely generic and for cosmetic purposes only BEFORE declaring the faction engines iRP.
People like cosmetics and virtually everyone has a ship with changed engines, some making even sense, some less so iRP. Still wouldn't want to launch your casual FL snub tomorrow and have 75% over a cosmetic item with no broader scale alternative next to blackmarket + generic house engines, right?
