Default Annoying feature about the speed values in AI_Design_Creation.txr

I'm working on a mod that uses the "Engines per Move" field, requiring ships to use the same % of their weight in engines to achieve the same speed. However, the entries for "Desired Speed" and "Min. Speed" in the AI_Design_creation.txt actually refers to ENGINES not speed. The only way I see to get arround this problem, is to make seperate templates for every size of ship for every race! That's a lot of work!

Here's my question(s): Is there a better/easier way to do this, and if I do this, will it cause problems with the AI?

Any answers greatly appreciated!

(P.S. I wrote MM about this and asked him to change it so that Speed refers to SPEED not engines (but before any bonous movement is added))
