missiles with large radius blast (and TCD must have large blast radius to be able to stop large ships) even is their damage is set to 0 will make NPCs angry...every explosion will.
as for reactivating engine it must do that in order to slow down ship to 80 speed. If it doesn't, ship in cruise will simply glide off if engines were killed before ship went into cruise, and thus, counter any usage of CD for stopping ships.
Also, every single ship would need to be rebalanced from the start.
