Making NPC Haulers run. They are on 1% hull and still wont jump out.

Hi

I have started pulling Haulers out of frame jump and knocking them down to 1%.

I know they have cargo because I scanned them, but they don't drop and run.

I have started cutting the cargo hatch out and they still hang around and try and attack. Seems a bit silly and I don't want to destroy them because of the fines.

Am i doing something wrong?

I think there should be an in game command where you can instruct an NPC to do things, like drop their cargo if they want to live.
The same way they do to us

Cheers

I have noticed when bounty hunting, ships drop cargo more often if you target there cargo hatch.
