Only thing I know is that a group of four to six Corsairs equipped with disruption missiles completely prevented me from going to cruise mode. Every time I tried to charge my cruise engine, there were multiple incoming missiles. And no matter how many countermeasures I dropped, I got disrupted anyway.
Now, I was flying a Gunboat, so this wasnt really dangerous (I eventually got feed up with this and blasted them). However, when flying smaller ships, this can be absolutely devastating. With disruption missiles working so effective, a small group of fighters can effectively keep you pinned in place while hammering away at you. And unless youre within relatively short distance of a base, a tradelane, or a gate youre dead.

Er there is a major problem with this statement.
There are NO gunboats with a Counter Measure mount.
The only cap-ship with extra equipment mounts (that is Cruise Disrupter, Mine, Counter Measure and Torpedo mounts) is the huegenot.
So what ship are you talking about?
You do however have a point. At the minute, for some reason, it is extremely hard to run from Borderworld (Outcasts and Corsairs) Pirates unless they get distracted by other enemies.
It doesnt matter what ship you have or what tricks/stunts etc you try, the only way to get clear of Outcasts and Corsairs with Cruise Distrupters is to kill them all, which means you risk getting mobbed when they call for help.
