Ships/bases can retro themselves, but watch out, and don't try to upgrade your repair components all at the same time! You'll end up having all your parts damaged, and be unable to repair(install) the repair components

As for slowing ships down, you either have to blow away engines, or deplete thier supplies (by letting them shoot at you, is the way it usually happens).
Most strategies will have ships run straight towards you, so you could use a repulsor beam (push force = 1) to slow their advance by 1 square per turn.
