Screwball Rules of Engagement

It is your responsibility to trust and know who you loan your vehicle to. It is the ship owners responsibility to know who and what is going on with their vessel.

So if someone steals your car and kills someone by driving it dangerously you are responsible for the killing?
You think these "motherships" are out on loan to the pirates

Why shouldn't it be possible to 'disable' the mother ship if they refuse to be boarded?

That still leaves you with a hostage situation

On a disabled ship, that you are now forced to board in order to rescue both the pirates and the hostages.

Sure they can disable it, but then what?

If the navy's aren't goignt o do anything about it, I fully expect the companies that own these ships to start arming them (more than they already are). If they can't trust they're (or the worlds) governments to protect the shipping lanes that are vital to the world economy, and their profit margins, then they'll have to take matters into their own hands.

Have them all board the skiffs as lifeboats and sink the big one.
