OK, in detail, what is on the baseship, in order:

Bridge
Lifesupport x 5
Crewquarters x 5
Engines x3
Sat bay
Engines x5 (So far =8)
PSG x 7
SatBay x 5 (so far =6)
Cloak
PDL
Shield Regen V
ECM
Engines x 37 (So far = 45)
SatBay x 13 (so far = 19)

The first three give 3*5=15 MP, and, ISTM come from:
Minimum Speed := 3

The next five give 8*5 = 40 MP, which may be from:
Desired Speed := 40

The Last 37 (& 1/2) could very well be from:
Misc Ability 7 Name := Standard Ship Movement
Misc Ability 7 Spaces Per One := 40

And that seems to indicate that "speed" is a variable definition, but nothing the AIs do surprises me anymore.
