What would happend if I removed the Bonus movement ability from the Impulse Engines?

Will they then work regardless of how many are on a ship design? IE designs with 2 empulse engines will provide movement?

The reason I am asking this is because as the game progress, the AI keeps designing larger ships that have no movement. They have warp drive, and one or two impulse engines, but as we know, they do not move.
Try it: didn’t help. Isn’t this just an example of the AI inability to use the propulsion scheme? But even human player are designing ships with no movement because they don’t add a enough impulse engines. Maybe instead of a propulsion scheme that states more tonnage, more engines, why not just have the same number of engines needed for all ships and have component enhancements that increase the cost, size and supplies used by engine per ship size or tonnage.
