Ship Engines/Size

[Talenn]

There is a setting in the ship files for 'engines per move' as in SE3. I havent tried it myself, but others have said that it wasnt a functioning parameter though (at least in the initial release Version).

I'm not sure why it was removed, but if you do something to alter it, keep in mind that you will either have to increase the size of the larger ship's hulls or else notice a reduction in their capabilities.

But yeah, I agree that the same 6 Engines that power an Escort shouldnt be able to propel a Dreadnought at the same speeds. Also, the larger ships dont have more resiliant engines either. In combat one hit still knocks them out as easily on the small ones.

Its a minor point, and I dont see it as hurting much other than 'flavor'. Given the option, I'd prefer the more engines on the bigger ships though.
