Translation:

I was going down the freeway, and decided I could stop faster by putting my car in "reverse"...

Basically, right?

So the takeaway is, massive cavitation and transients, possible damage to ship.

It'd be great to see this implemented so I'm not tempted to just use "back emergency" to stop dead still and go all stealthy. Since, you know, I guess it's probably louder than launching a torpedo?

Implementation; cavitation for a second, a transient, all with a loudness proportional to your speed squared, and have the game roll a dice and take into account your speed to see if you just took on some propulsion damage or not.
