I like the concept.
The problem comes from implementing the pirates to be an actual threat, yet able to be combated. Finding the right balance wouldn't be easy.
Would love to see something like this ingame, however.

Here is how I do it.
I use a YT-1300. Put a 4.5k damage blaster on the bottom turret. And a mark3 mineing laser on the top.
Park the narrow ship against the rock. have the bottom gun face the rock, and make sure you can clip the rock with the top gun.
Then just shoot the rock a few times, pop, outcomes a chunk. Then just shoot up at it and hit all the chunks with ease.
Even when tier3/4 ships come at you. They have a hard time hitting yuo because your back is against the wall. And they dont change there aproach angle to deal wiht that. Most of the time they run into the rock and get stuck on the other side
And even if they attack, then just rotate the ship 180 roll. And use the lower gun.
with like 3.6k shields and 3k armor. They take a while to become a problem

And so removing the aspect of the game some people enjoy (chasing rocks) is a solution? Nah, lame idea.

If you have Rage of the Wookiees enabled, talk to Flash Harrison somewhere on the huge tree in Kachirho. I think I remember there being a proper FAQ in the shipwright forum, check there
