You don't have to revert to bonus movement (one of the aspects of propulsion in SE4 I never did like overmuch).

Yeah, I don't like the bald use of the bonus movement thing all that much either. But it can be a useful tool. As far as I can determine it would be the only way to allow a total movement of >1 for Basemoons (and other huge ships) in the current QNP systems because of the RCE problem. Consider it RCE bipass surgery

Why bother? If it takes 10% of mass to move at the MP of the engine technology known, Battle Moons would use 1000kT engine components. If the component gave 5 movement points, the 'moon woudl move at 5.

It'd just take a single, truly MASSIVE engine to do it. 8)
