You probably still have a better perspective than me; at least having worked on these specifically.

I suspect that at least some ships/designs are done right ‘right’.

(1) the engine controllers are internal safety limits and have very controlled input ranges. Cummins engines as an example.

(2) the network has a ‘Battlestar’ mode where you can just cut the wire. People would still need to connect laptops or jumpers locally to control devices in anything beyond a ‘max’ vs ‘idle’ vs ‘off’ mode… but 100%, ready, and off should be enough in an emergency.
