You should probably take the square root of those modifiers in order to account for the conVersion from mass to ship profile size. (well, square of the cube root, but you get the idea)

Topic for discussion:

Supply storage bays...
Engines hold more supplies per KT than the dedicated supply bays.

Should the supply bays be improved, and if so, how?

not realy, its an 'extra'. you cant put more engines but you can put more storage. and they're not vulnurable to engine-only damage.

I would say -25% or -50% to cost and add at least 250 to each level (750/1000/1250). I would prefer +250*lvl (750/1250/2000) or something similar.

Taera:
So you have no problem with a 10kt engine holding the same amount of supplies as a 20kt, dedicated supply tank?

I wouldn't mind seeing supply components cut to 10kT with no other changes.
