There should be some difference between milspec systems and civilians,
perhaps, but not that much. The limiting factor is crew endurance, not
engine performance. If you can run a ship with AI only, then we should
be
seeing drone fighters (which, come to think of it, is high on the
Alarishi
Empire's priority list).
