Set the mQNP to use mounts for entie CLASSES of ship, and vary EPM within that class, for example:

Basic engine = 1000kT

"Light Engines"; 2% mount, or 20kT engines
100kT Escort ... 1epm
200kT Frigate ... 2epm
300kT Destroyer ... 3epm

"Medium Engines"; 6% mount, or 60kT engines
500kT Light Cruiser ... 1epm
700kT Cruiser ... 2epm
900kT BattleCruiser ... 3epm

"Heavy Engines"; 18% mount, or 180kT engines
1300kT Battleship ... 1epm
1700kT Dreadnought ... 2epm
2100kT Baseship ... 3epm

Alternately, add +1epm to all the Medium-engine ships (for 2, 3, 4), and +2epm to all the Heavy-engine ships (for 3, 4, 5).

Thus, only three mounts:

Light
for ships 1kT to 499kT

Medium
for ships 500kT to 1299kT

Heavy
for ships 1300kT+

Oh, sure, you'll let him fiddle with the EPM, but you throw a fit when I mention it... (j/k)
