Engines don't (or at least shouldn't) store supplies.
Don't go breaking the QNP in your quest for supply balance.
Just remember that big ships will be using more supplies per movement point since they are heavier.
Question:
Why do you want to limit the number of reactors per ship?
- One or two big reactors should be more efficient in supplies per KT, and thus be good.
- Small reactors would be less efficient, but can't be killed by a lucky hit in combat. (Remember the leaky armor!)
Thus both big and small reactors are useful.
Note:
On a small ship, "big" refers to the medium reactors.
On a large ship, "small" refers to the medium reactors.
