First, thruster has it's own power. The little yellow bar isn't used for thruster. The box with a % value to the left is your thruster power. If you run out, the thruster turns off. Simple. No hull-eating related to thrusters..

To Alex; What were the ships using the thrusters, what thruster were they using, and what system were they in? And I know this is sort of an obvious one, but were they in a sun corona?
