Piracy Harpoon/Grappling gun. Slowing a disabled target.

Instead of adding yet another limpet, the hatch breaker should have some of this effect. Piracy is when you usually need to stop a drifting ship, after all.

the speed you would need to let the limpets catch the drifting ship would be too fast for hatch breakers.

Both disable hardpoints but doesmt slow a disabled ship drifting.

I am aware but with the pulse disruptor you can disable NPC ship thrusters while damaging it, once their engine comes back online they will come to a full stop by themselves, hit them again to disable it and repeat until thrusters fall down to 0%. Target will be dead in the water but not drifting.

I saw a YouTube video of a guy executing pirating this way, he made it look extremely easy.

Depends. Also the current piracy method is to block the drifting ship with your own. The limpets could be used to bring it to the final stop once sufficiently slowed down.
