Hi!
I wonder who uses what markings to designate engine type used on the ship.
I'm currenlty playing a game where I need both ram scoop and non-ram-scoop engines. I found marking of engine in ship name like "Large Freighter 8" and "Large Freighter 9" would not be very clear because do not know whether there is a ram scoop 9 engine or not on that ship, and "ram-scoop engine warp 9" is a bit confusing because both TGFS and TGSS may perfectly fly on warp 9. "TGMS" and alike is not very clear and requires more time to catch it up what engine is exactly there.
Is it good idea to mark ship engines in the name using special characters?
For example:
Oo - Settlers delight
-o - QJ5
-< - mizer
-| - Long hump 6
-|| - DLL7
-||| - AD8
-3 - TGD 9
~3 - I10
=3 - TS10
-=8 - Enigma 
*|< - Radiating HRS
-o< - Sub GFS
-|< - Trans GFS
-||< - TGSS
-|||< - TGMS
=< - Galaxy Scoop
< - ram scoop, | - "circle" around the engine, "~" - smarter than "-", "=" - even more smarter, * - radiation sign
(Wow! How I forget about Enigma engine?  Added.)
