I did that engine-kill strat for the longest time. But now I find it less of a hassle if I just do things to make pirates less hostile before entering their territory..
And the reason you think the countermeasure is not working.. It's failure is usually based on quantity. If a group of three ships are giving chase. Most of the time all three launch cruise disrupters simultaneously. So you usually have to launch 3 countermeasures to actually avoid disruption. And that's almost impossible to do since you can't eject 3 countermeasures at once.
