Allowing engines of tugged objects to turn off allows more than just tugging no-fuel stuff. It gives a commercial engine consumption to fuel inefficient ships during peace time provided you build the swarms of tugs you will need to do this.Gottcha, ended up transfering fuel to get it back, its a shame you cannot tow ships with engines but no fuel, not that its a big deal to transfer fuel just wish the option was there.Ships that are being tractored should have the option of turning their engines off.
Allows attachment of commercial engine tugs to military/gunboat engined ships to save fuel.
