One thing crossed my mind, tho I believe it's somebody else's idea:
What about rebalancing Hegemons around 30 speed, no thrusters, and cruise of 250, like a barge, then giving them huge cargo holds (4800 or more?) and making them more like they are in Vanilla, a stationary mining vessels, equipped for long stay in deep space? Something like 800K or more of Armor, even more batteries, and such? It'd stop miners hauling freight in Heges, pretty much forcing them to either sell it or transfer it to their own hauler (which seems impossible now, with the F1 drift implemented), while they'd be compensated by larger cargo holds, enabling them to hoard more of their product for their customers, the haulers?
