Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I'm playing as a hivemind with bio-ships, and around mid-game I realized I couldn't use jump drive. Looking at each individual ship in my fleet revealed only the Mature ships had level I hyperlane drives; the juvenile and elder ships had jump drive. Every class of ship is equipped with jump drives in Ship Designer, but when a mature ship (of any class) is added to a fleet it defaults to the level I hyperdrives. I tried saving the ship design with a different hyperlane drive, then saving the design again with jump drive, but mature ships are still defaulting. I also tried reloading the most recent save, and restarting the game, but it's persistent.

Steps to reproduce the issue.
I don't know how or when this first occurred.

EDIT:
I just checked your attached save, and you have the mature Maulers configured to use the level-1 drives:

The core components for each maturity level can be configured separately, and you can switch between them using the left and right arrows highlighted above.


ORIGINAL:
Is it possible that you have the level 1 drives configured for the mature ships in the designer (your screenshots only show the core component panel for juveniles)?
You can use this button to switch between each level's core components:
