I was wondering if anyone could work up a Mod where it allows ALL Capital Ships to use the 3 types of special abilities (Power to Engines, Shields, Firepower).  Each ship has the ability to toggle which ability to boost and it would be tactically important which one a ship uses in battle.  Now I am not saying when an ISD boosts engines it moves as fast as a Corvette, but perhaps a similar % increase in speed boost to turn around and then fire off a broadside....what does everyone think???

it's a great idea, as i lore wise i don't see a reason why not!

Can units have more than two abilitys in the full game? They couldnt in the demo, and i havnt tried the full yet.

I think that's a great idea.  Would really spice up space battles a bit and give your units a little more freedom in how they act.  Big ship under fire?  Add power to shields and let it's escorts take care of it.  Maybe even put power to their weapons. ;D I like it.
