I know military ships can't use commercial jump drives. However, can commercial ships use military jump drives? Military drives don't make a ship military, and that would be good for a reliable, civilian tender. However, she would be useless as a fleet vessel if, after supporting the warships' jump, she couldn't jump herself. The design screen doesn't show more than one type of jump drive on the 'sheet', so I'm guessing installing two different types of drives on a single ship is unnecessary/pointless.

You can't put more than one type of drive on a ship, that is mixing Civ/Mil/Ftr/GB.

So, uh, can commercial vessels execute jumps with a military drive, tonnage permitting? Or is it useless to have civilian jump tenders with military jump drives, regardless of the lack of reclassification?

Yes. A ship with commercial engines can transit with a military class jumpdrive. Only the engines matter for this, not the overall ship classification.
