Theoretically... the size of the variable holding "propulsion" in SEIV isn't big enough to hold the value that would make baseships speed-24 the way it's set up with most mods. Might be able to pull it off if you made the engines have a propulsion value of 1, and just made them smaller as tech goes up. That might allow the creation of an uber-fast baseship... Might have to try that out...

Nope. At least, not without using bonus movement. You can only have at most 255 standard movement points on a ship before it gets divided by engines per move for the hull size. More standard move on a component or smaller components makes no difference. You can, however, use scale mounts based on hull size (different mount for every ship size), combined with large (1000 kT or so) engine components. This will allow you to get more movement on larger ships, while still making engines take up more space on larger ships for the same movement rate.
