I found out it is a good tactic to make hostile ships come to you instead of warping towards them.
To do that i disable my hyperdrive, select and enemy ship that is far away and then give the order to my navigator to fly the CC to that enemy. I found out that as i do that, the commander of the other ship hears the "Acquired" message from its officer and immediately targets my CC and hyperjumps to me.
Then i just fly a couple of km away from the place i was in, raise my shields, activate the turret system and main guns, select a STS-Missile in case i need it and just wait that he leaves hyperspace in front of me. Then i just let it rip and easily blow up his insurgent (or gammulan) arse and collect the cargo pod if he leaves one.
