You can research lower tech and build engines on it... but always remove them so you you technically are at a higher level for civilian purposes. Every time you want to add a research project you just SM the tech level you are actually at do the design and add the research and remove the tech levels to the desired ones after that. The same when you want to research a better tech level.
I think that Steve should just fix civilians engines at a fixed power level, say 25-30% and be done with it. Civilian freighter don't consume fuel anyway and cheaper than this does not make them more efficient due to lower engine cost... you just get more civilian ships which negatively impact game performance.
