[Spaceships] IR sig of Hot Reactionless Engines

On p24, it says that Hot Reactionless Engines have a heat signature similar to a conventional drive's exhaust- but which drive? The list of bonuses for detecting IR sigs on pp44-45 doesn't include reactionless engines.

A fusion rocket engine is +8, then faster drives go up from there. Maybe use the Antimatter Plasma Torch bonus of +10, because it has a similar TL and acceleration?
