Alright I am playing a Space Pirate empire, we use plasma carronades as weapon of choice, how do I set it up so I can ambush hapless nprs?

System defense is handled by a supermassive ship on my side of the jump point, anyone popping in hostile gets nailed with 80 cm carronade fire at point blank range. But I need to make profit, so how do I ambush hapless freighters?
An 80cm Carronade would not be ideal for crippling freighters :). You need a low-power weapon that will disable the freighter so you can board and capture it. Or don't bother trying to damage it and instead use very fast assault shuttles to board it while it is underway.
