Imagine how far they travel when trying to stop. I guess you would have the power to run the engines in reverse at full power too.

Power isn't the problem; vibration, the stress on the ship's hull, and risk of losing a propellor are the real problems with sustained running in reverse at full power.

Stop ? Just drift with all your cargo.
