Actually thinking about the engines being blown and the continued movement caused me to regress to high school physics. No friction in space, ergo no slowing down. So the engine problem is not a real concern. Not blowing the crap out of the other guy is. Must fix so death can be dealt. I say go with what we have and fix problems as they occur. Hey that is why it is a Beta Test.

Unfortunately this is impossible to model in SE4. The ships would still be able to turn and decrease their velocity with no engines, which is physically impossible (without some sort of tractoring from other ships of course).
