I gave my little hulls, escorts, frigates and destroyers, a lot of extras in hope that they would stay useful throughout the game.
I gave them supply, like you suggested, extra movement, extra combat movement and additional reduction to hit. They actually made it into the later stages as fast raiders, spies, PD ships etc.
I don't know if it still works in 1.35, I changed mine back in 1.19. Hope it still works!
