Then you can break from Hugging at will, I think.
With Attack Vector you don't match velocities with your target. You can't Rendezvous from Attack Vector, only from Engaged, that's why you should "pay" this 10+ margin "cost".
Question to you as to FAQ keeper: do I really need to have 10+ margin of victory or 10+ margin of success would suffice?
(As in SS: "if you succeeded dy 10+...")

also assuming the ship has working engines... this is why pirates in the age of sail targeted a ship's masts and sails first if they were planning to board. Boarding is pretty simple, target the rear hull to take out engines, against big ships that can't achieve a accel bonus, it is even easier.

If you want the 10+ margin of success to be easier, allow it to be gained cummulatively over multiple turns against non-maneuvering ships.
