If~~ you see ~~"All Occupants Demoralized"~~ you're ~~usually~~ in ~~good shape. Unfortunately only the damage information box says~~ it~~, not the tooltip, and the damage information is only listed for 2-3 turns~~.		: You can stop when you see engine destroyed and as long as you're not in that vehicle's weapon firing arc it's no longer a threat.
