My pleasure!
The number of star (and interia) drives is limited by the size of the rest of the ship (calculated in SSD). A tiny ship of only 2 SSD can have up to 30 star drives and travels quickly across the galaxy. A battleship of 30 SSD can only move with up to 12 star drives. Ships larger than that are stationary platforms that can only be used where they're built.
Take a look at your Shipyard Report (on the web screen or in the GTac Assistant) to see some examples of ship designs. For instance, a 6P/4;;/21-14 (commonly called a Destroyer) is 10 SSD big, has reasonably good firepower and can move around relatively well, making it a good intermediate-class ship.
Here's a chart of size ranges and their maximum drive limitations:
Does that help?

11-15 18-12
16-25 15-10

36-75 Does that help?
