If by "glow map" you mean "increased emittion" (as DoGA calls it), it won't show at all.

The Bartelians employ an intricate inertia-nullification field generator, which erects an energy field around the ship and "pulls the inertia away from the fighter bays and puts it right in front of the engines" to put it simply.

I could have just said that they used very powerful engines so the effect would be negligible, but I just wanted to say this.

So you can explain it away with technobabble. You still have to find a place to put that technobabble so that most people who use the shipset are going to notice it. And that still doesn't change the fact that it just looks wrong.

Actually, more powerful engines would just make the ship spin faster. It doesn't matter how powerful they are if the net thrust is off center.
