I feel I should point out here that swapping engines for Supply Storage Is will increase your range dramatically.
In this case, 5 engines, and 2500 supplies is normal:
2500 / (5*10) = 50 squares range
3 engines, and 2500 supplies:
2500 / (3*10) = 83 range @ speed 3
By reducing your speed to 3, you get 66% more range.
Note: upgrading engines from Ion to Quantums will have no effect on your range, just your speed. You run out of fuel in the same starsystem, but you get to that starsystem faster.
Hmm.. Thanks suicide, I don't have my notes with me, but I thought I went through some sort of comparison when I was first doing that.
