I'm not sure if this is correct. 
I was in a PBEM game for a friend and had to retrofit his very old ships to new ones. The main problem were of course the engines because they increased in Rad. In my experience the 150% is really per resource HOWEVER there is a threshold like round about 1000 or so that you can upgrade ANYWAY. So you can upgrade your 100 R ship to a 1,100 ship but not your 10,000 to 16,000. I'm quite sure about this as I only upgraded the engines so the variables in the equation weren't too many. Anyway this was an early gold Version IIRC so it might have changed or I am simply wring.  Unfortunately that I lack the time to test it.
