Default Engines

I was playing Starfury yesterday and when I was selling my loot at spacedock something occured to me. There are many engines in the game but all they do is produce propulsion. I was thinking that it would be great if the engines could have other attributes. And negative energy production. (energy drain) The energy drain could be explained by required power to keep the engines running when firing weapons. Or something like that.

For example Ion engine could be the most basic engine and would only give propulsion and has energy drain. Jacket-Photon engines could give propulsion, have power drain and boost ship's defensive abilities like extra ECM. And so on...

I don't know, how does the idea sound?

I was also thinking of different shield generators. For examples one which would direct some of the damage to energy like absorbing armor.
