Sub,

You will need to add two more engine hardpoints to the ship. Then you assign the engines in goods.ini and change the number of exhaust nozzles to however many you have in shiparch.ini.

If all you want to do is make the effect appear, DO NOT assign an engine. Assigning more than one engine to a ship can play hell with the physics engine. Simply add the hardpoints and update shiparch.ini, change the line;

num_exhaust_nozzles = 2

to;

num_exhaust_nozzles = {your number of engine hardpoints}
