Default Mechanics question-movement

Does anyone know a way i could create different components for strategic and combat movement-so one type for moving through systems and another for during combat? I've messed with the Combat movement generation system, but it takes only the highest number for the whole ship, and I'd like to be able to add engines to some ships to make them able to maneuver in combat. I've also had trouble creating an engine that doesn't add combat movement but retains strategic movement. Any ideas?

There is no way to do this, without using the combat movement bonus ability and the emergency movement ability, which is not a good solution at all.

Combat movement bonus is ok, isn't it?

Yes, it works, but only the highest level from all comps with that ability is used. So, you can not make combat engines that give +1 combat movement and no strategic movement each, for example.

Can mounts help in some way ? Give different ship size requirements for different combat engines orsomething like that ?

Not really. You still have no choice in the matter, and all ships of a certain size will be forced to move the same in combat. This is fine if you don't mind losing a great area for strategic depth.
