It does seem weird that all ships have about the same speed. Thats why I added speed to my smaller ships, along with the other stuff, it makes them different.
A few people have been working on something with "engines per move" but it sounds to complicated for me to do and I think there are some small problems with it.
If you want to quickly mod a fast ship I would suggest adding speed to a hull by giving it the "Standard Ship Movement" ability. That way you can oick the hull type(s) you want to speed up.
