 That is a good option but I had forgotten to include another modifier I

 had thought of to limit its use.  For each attempt (for either
Emergency 
 Thrust or Emergency Turns) after the first in the same battle, there is
an 
 additional +1 (cumulative) chance of engine damage AND the result of 
 engine damage without any additional thrust or turning ability.
 
 Example: 3rd turn attempting either Emergency Thrust or Turns, thrust 4

 ship, both prior rolls have been successful, trying for an additional 2

 points of thrust. On a roll of 1 - extra thrust no engine damage, 2-3 -

 extra thrust but engine damage, 4-6 - no extra thrust and engine
damage.
