Type: Equipment Bug: Custom Scidata Battleship engines do not give the proper speed
Reproduction Steps:
Have a light or medium battleship with a player requested engine such as mine (HS>Incubo)
Try to impulse up to the new speed, since Sarissa is a light battleship, it should go 110.
Find that your fancy green engined Sarissa still goes 90 at maximum
Additional Information: Light and (I assume) Medium battleships with custom scidata engines do not go the new max impulse speed, normal engined ones do (tested on Jorm - it does 100 m/s as it should)
I would have to assume this is unintended. Thanks.

Working as intended, custom engines have to go the lowest speed of the class. Otherwise a Ranseur can request the same engines and have 110 speed. It prioritizes balance over variety, meaning the custom BS engines are pretty much for heavy BSes only at the moment, unless you want to nerf yourself in PvP. We might have a solution for the cosmetic engines soon though, courtesy of Aingar.
