Not entirely true. I am not sure you can increase the squadron size for civillian jump engines (never tried this), but squadron size for _all_ jump engines means "Total ships to jump through in one go", i.e. squadron size 3 means 1 jumpship plus 2 "passengers" no matter if civilian or military jump engine
Yes, you can increase the size of the squadron for civilian jump engines. In fact, all the same settings apply to both. But, as a1s pointed out, when you switch between civilian and military variants, the same squadron size tech will result in a different squadron number on the final engine report. For lower tech levels this number seems to be 1 less for civilian versions, than for their equivalent military counterparts.
