Heh, it's really simple.
Jumping battleship is
1) Usually Au8
2) Is a battleship, not a trader, and so 4 hour exception does not apply to him. Issue a demand and put his shields to 50%. If he docks, they won't have a jumper for the next 4 hours.
Would work best with a cloaked BS on your side.
Also, you can pirate them on the other side of the jump. This way, traders will be cut off from BS if it will get destroyed (since it will jump at least 15k from the base), and won't be able to quickly switch their route.
P.S. No, never did it, it's just... logical?
P.P.S. I hope you're not going to pirate for profits, i.e. ruining people's day.
If there will be a question like "Why do I need to invest into battleship to pirate them??" "Because they, most likely, invested into at least 2 battleships, jumper and scanner, alot of transports, and are trying to teamwork hard. so no, you're not supposed to do it "the easy way".
