lol! and it is better to have engines here, they provide more room and if you get hit loads, you have more engines as back up!
maybe at a higher level resource storage gets increased at a much higher rate than ion engines? if not, then it is stupid.
in the unmoded SEIV, wasnt it the same, or very similar, only you couldnt have over a certain ammount of engines? :S I am playing a PBW game, but I just can not think how engines worked off the top of my head... (been playing star trek mod), on that you can only have so many engines, but they perform much better!
damn, it looks like you cant put on more than a certain ammount of engines! but still... I dont think its right they hold more supplies...
