It took whole 2 minutes to destroy it using shieldbusters. So on thrusters it would travel 18k before being blown up and only 9k before it looses 50% of hull.
So it is not like cannot scare it, even if you have EMP + SNAC loadout.
Your math is off. Bomber EMP does 320 damage per second. Assuming you had 4 of them, that's 1280 damage per second. Shetland has 130k base HP and around 210k HP that it can repair. To do 340k hull damage, not counting shield soaking up damage via regeneration or shield batteries, you would have to keep shooting non-stop for 260 seconds or 4 minutes and 20 seconds. Thrust speed is 140, that's 36k of non-stop thrust in that time.
