Cruise disrupters on large ships

[JacktheSmack]

I've tried several times cruise disrupting capitol ships people use on several different discovery freelancer mod servers, whether it be dreadnaughts or trains, and it seems to have no effect. I'm even within 400 units (whatever measurement is used) and it hits, but they still cruise away a second later. I ask people all the time and it says nothing ever happens.

I also notice a lot of missiles fly at me from AI ships as soon as I enter cruise, whether I am in a dreadnaught or a large train, but I don't get thrown out of cruise when they hit. Although if they come at me from the direct front it seems to do the job. Other players gave me the suggestion that targetting the engine with cruise disrupters while being directly in front of the enemy ship will work, but how am I supposed to do this in a gunboat or bigger?
