Obligatory:

Should definitely be for all ships, sounds like a bug. You're sure it's not there at the bottom of the livery list, just below the weapon colours slot?

That's what the site says; yet I can't find any option to get my engine colour in Livery (in a DBS atm)

That's how I set up my Cutter.
Perhaps Frontier does not want to transform the galaxy into a giant aquarium ?
Why not? We already have goldfish.
I think instead of Ooooo Engine Colours, its Ugggh Engine Colours. They all look awful to me.
I have a new reason not to join Open lol
Please tell me Frontier that NPCs are NOT going to be using these?

Yeah... Shroedinger's development.
It's both just a trivial photoshop colour change and a massive programming undertaking that leaves basic features without workforce... :|
[up] I decided on purple engines. I've bought it, but I can't use it until I get back to the bubble, so no pics for now. All my ships are black, so no color would actually clash.

I got them all. Currently have blue on all my Imperial ships, and I'm playing around with the others on non imperial ships. Kind of liking the orange a lot. Wished there was an orange the same color for weapons.
I'd be more than happy to pay monthly subscription (thanks for answering for me with your question BTW) if they sorted out the naff net code. Optional but a pathetic sell in order to bring in more money. Why not make these "upgrades" mission rewards. At least it would be less, instant gratification (pay to grat) and more goal oriented.
At the very least have these basic colours free in game or as the result of Engineered upgrades. Special particle effects and trial desings as a premium purchased cosmetic.
I'd also pay $15 a month for decent connectivity and access to proper cosmetics.
I'd pay $15 a month for a server/client structure so when you go into Lave, it's actually a bustling port with hundreds of players. Or expeditions can finally group together in the same instance instead of crashing the ED server.
Yep, I would pay for that.
I can't see why the current "free" p2p couldn't be retained while offering the extended features for a sub fee.
Same.
I still maintain Frontier should have had a look around at how F2P MMO's handle their business and implement something similar.
Elder Scrolls Online, for example, gives players access to all expansion content as long as they continue paying per month; if they cancel said sub, they lose access to the content, but they can still buy the expansion once off. This process is two fold, some people might want access to the content now, but can't afford the expansion price; and it gives players with disposable income a way to continuously support the game.
Frontier could implement a similar feature, they'd get more than what they charge for on a single expansion, as 15 a month is 180 a year. If only 100 players subbed ( won't be difficult, there's three right here, lol ), that's $18,000 a year; as opposed to 100 players buying an expansion for $60, which is $6,000; simply by hosting servers, and charging $15 a month to whomever is willing could net Frontier three times as much money from each CMDR; and I'm sure (open to correction) $18,000 a year could easily cover a single mega-server.
But, we digress; the post is about stuff on the store.
In which case: ... Monthly subscription cards. ^_^

Quite. Although it wouldn't be Lave, and it would be £10. Hopefully FD have had time to come up with the correct solution for future updates. I do like my green engines though.
Yeah, totally agree on this. Orange is great, looks like normal chemical trustees.
