Have encountered people cruising to catch up in game. At this point i realy do not care that much, i do not do it but i do not get excited when i see others doing it. It got me thinking though.
What if engaging cruise caused your shields to drop to zero while charging. The idea would be all power is needed by your ship to charge the engines so you draw from your shields. This happens in fighter class ships when you drop cargo. Something similar. The idea has it's problems, just thought i would throw it out there when i thought of it. If cruising to catch up meant your shields were lost, many would likely think twice.
