Just what are the odds and amount of damage involved with going warp 10 with a engine that is unsafe to do so? Does weight or type of engine effect the outcome? I have glanced over the academy post and have seen nothing.

Hi!

Each ship has a 10% chance of blowing up, all calculated independently, IIRC.

That's in theory. In practice it's: the more important the arrival, the bigger the chance a ship will blow up. Proof: move lots of chaff and it will be less than 10%. Move at W-10 a freighter with extremely valuable cargo, BOOOM!!! Damn Jeffs! 
Seriously, in my current game it seems to me the chance is 50% not 10%. In 4 attempts (7 ships) at unsafe W-10 I lost 4 ships. Not statisatically sound numbers, but frustrating anyway. 
BR, Iztok
