Combat speed 15.

Nine engines (9) + three point bonus for Quantum (3) + Afterburners III (3).

9+3+3 = 15

Engine movement points, and their bonus movement, is rated in strategic movement, and needs to be divided by two (rounding up). Afterburners is in combat movement.

Re: Carrier questions
 

Fighter combat gets really good if you switch vehicle sizes for the larger fighter types like I did (30 for medium, 45 for large). This keeps them useful well into the end of the game & replace most of my escorts & frigates... Though I'm thinking of adjusting them down a notch to 25/40 (medium/large)... Course I also added 5 lvls to each smaller sized weapon to balance out dmg caused by fighters, so you need to dedicate more to make them effective...
