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.
i use 100kt engine. that way, each % counts as 1kt. except that my engine's fluctuate in size and cost to make up for the fact that there's no decimal movement. but ignore that Last, since most people i explain it to don't seem to understand it anyway.
