In #945 @Luomu showed us some possible colour variation for the new thrusters:

We've had a few ideas about when variations might occur:
* Based on drive tech (hydrogen or military). Simple but not much variation.
* Based on drive class. Lots of variation, but does it give too much away? We do already have that for laser colours though.
* Based on model (and defined by the model). What's the in-game explanation for this?
* Blended with atmosphere colour, perhaps with intensity influenced by pressure.

Your task: implement one of these :)
