Escorts are already faster than Dreadnaughts. In fact they are faster than anything larger than a Battle Cruiser becasue as they get larger than that they can't have as many engines
That still means there are only two hull types slower than an ES: the DN & BS
I would prefer a mass-based movement system. So when you double your mass, you have to have twice the engine power to move at the same speed. Larger hulls would be able to get bigger, more efficient engines, but in general, the larger ships should spend more space on engines to move the same speed as a smaller ship.
