Default Help me understand - plz

After researching engines 10 - you get a +3 movement bounus. After that nothing seems to change - supplies used or size, etc. So - what's the point of going beyond 10?

I assume that the +3 is added to the base 'speed'. Hence 6 engines + 3 = 9 or is it 6 + 3*6 = 24? The latter makes sense since a BaseShip with it's 2 engines could at least attain a base speed of 6 (to keep up with ships fitted with - say 6 type I engines (though why one would not upgrade to more powerful engines escapes me since speed is important in combat).

Thnx.
