ha it was a rinky dink coastal freighter, and I was within 50 Meters of it. All stopped, and it was disabled with a few below decks shots. I let the crew get some experience, so they start shooting the deck, cargo, command tower, and eventually the whole thing pretty much mushroom clouds at once, and that nearly killed me later in the patrol. The game CTD'ed anyways, so it didn't really matter
