Taking engineering(or the "room" with the power plant and drives) is
important too. Because you can cut of power to various ships systems,
and have control of the drives (and likely of things like internal
gravity and life support as well)

Control of either one makes life difficult for the other side.
Control of both makes it darn near impossible.
