Loose altitude? what altitude? However, I can see speed dropping while the props are off. In fact if I'm understanding BA correctly what he's envisioning doing the re-docking/re-arming at a dead stop out of combat.
I could imagine a prop-driven Fenspace 'aircraft' where just because there is no 'altitude' (or no 'road' for some Fenspace vehicles) doesn't mean that the handwavium doesn't quirk the vehicle into acting as if there is one. You could start to drift 'downwards' as well as slow when the props are off. You'd never hit 'the ground', but you could need to 'climb' a lot to regain your original course.
