In the stock game the ships will stop if you destroy their engines (in theory - not sure anyone hjas actually tested that!), or if you damage them to a general overall damage level of 70% they will drop their speed to 30% of the convoy speed. If you get the to 90% damage they abandon ship and become dead in the water waiting for your merciful coup de grace. There was a mod out that increased the scope of the damage and speed, so they'd slow down at different lighter damage levels, but I can't emember of the top of my head what it was called - it was released quite early on and was well received for its effects.
It was called 'The Damage Assessment mod'.
