Get better at hitting their FSD (fixed weapons help), or get closer.
Remember if they are in a bigger ship than you, they probably will get away unless you disable the FSD as you can't mass lock.

Thermals to take out the shields fast, target their drives or their FSD with something kinetic and hard hitting like missiles or cannons up close. Should work.
My strategy is to ram them. Seriously, it works! Also stay right on top of them, and when you see that they are trying to spin up their FSD, ram them hard from an angle if possible. If you are in an eagle, unfortunately don't try this, but with a Viper, works well.
bigger more powerful weapons will help tremendously
And where do I find them?

Oh dear.... The devs have a s..t load of work when they come back ;-)
Target their power plant I always found was the most effective, ship pops much faster than just general damage. Running away then isn't an issue when they blow up at approx 40% hull left.
Missile chaser.
