Exceeding T-AVE would ahve been a good one or just some high temperature alarms that would require throttling back.

As an ex-nuke, I would of course LOVE to see something like that. However, it would not really add much to the sim. After all, we just pushed the dome around. Our job was to keep the screw turning and the lights burning.

99.9% of the playerbase would not idea what TAve means. Let alone something like:

"Con, Manuevering, Reactor scram, Rig ship for Reduced Electrical."

They would have no idea what that really means. or how it would effect the tactical situation.

Now if it was something like.

"Manuevering, Con, Shift propulsion to (low power) silent mode"

and got back

"Con, Manuevering, Propulsion shifted to silent mode, propulsion limit ahead standard"

THAT would mean something and add to the sim. They would have to balance the ability to move with stealth vs the ability to move quickly when needed. Of course add a specific time scale when shift between modes. That way you have to think ahead and PLAN.
