Introduction
The rare Mk5 engines are available in Supercharged, Equalized or Sidewinder configurations, just like the regular engines (Mks 1-4). They are built from 10 Rare Engine parts that may drop as loot from destroyed fighters. A mission is not associated with this dropped part.
The 10 parts are crafted into a "Rare Engine" and the crafting may be done repeatedly. Since parts drop randomly and the precise part that may drop varies too, it can take a while to gain a complete set. By which point, you may be close to owning multiple sets.
A crafted Rare Engine can be used in several ways:
- Installed as a Mk5 engine on the Skunk.
- Used as a necessary component of Jumpdrive manufacture.
- Sold for credits.

Silly question but how do you install the rare engine, once you have one available.

Just check your mission board, you will be given a mission for the rare engine, where you will need to access certain mechanic which will provide you a Mk5 engine to install.

Probably a stupid question but... Does that still count when on free-play mode?

Is there a specific 'Zone' or 'Sector' involved or a special rank needed?
...Or is it just random?

Yes... It still counts.
It's doubtful that rank has any effect.
Could be Random. Don't know if there is a specific Zone or Sector but I found the mission (little skull) on the side of AES Cell Fab Matrix in Cuspid Splint.
~Totally by chance though. (I had already crafted an engine so the mission only took a few moments.)

It didn't give me the choice of engines!!
I wanted a sidewinder engine but all they offered was the supercharged engine!
Can I repeat the mission at all?

Mission is repeatable, look for mission offer on stations surface.
Mission mechanic offers all mk5 engines.
