Perhaps they should have a greater cost value ?

The new patch for the game will require all existing mods to be altered however so dont get to far ahead of youreself just yet.

Actually it will not require any mods to be altered.

It is really a matter of preference on the 3 large engines versus 10 small engines issue. I prefer the engines to not have large numbers of hit points, but to remain around what they are in stock, or fewer. This is because I don't like them working like leaky armor.

Perhaps you could try instead of 4 types make it more incremental say 8 steps along the way.

This mount does not increase the damage resistance of the impulse engines. That stays at 5 or 10 hit points. The damage resistance of the engine components in the default game is 20 hit points.

I toyed with this a while back and ran into some problems. I can't recall the specifics, but the idea was sound, but the AI was not.

I'm working with this for some months now in my mod (not available yet) and it seems to work fine.
Okay, have to tune the AI a bit, but it looks promising.

I ussed the same scaling for my bridge/lifesupport/crewquarters/Shields (bigger ships need larger shields for same power)/ cloaking and of course engines.

BTW PAUL1980au : I used 4% steps so it will work very acurate in comparison to size.
