IIRC, combat occurs every (30/(ship movement points)).

So a ship with 6 Ion engines will try to enter combat every 30 / 6 = 5 days.
A ship with 6 quantum engines and a solar sail 3 will try to enter combat every 30 / 12 (or 6 engines + 3 bonus movement for the Quantum Engines + 3 bonus movement for the SS) = 2.5 days. (however, I can't recall whether that number get's rounded up or down...)
