The logical thing to do is respond proportionally: if the ships are deliberately damaging property, seize the ships, and imprison the offenders.

Responding proportionally means you are always the one on the defensive and your opponent gets to decide the course of the conflict.

There should be a tit for tat response but the tit needs to be much larger than the tat to create the incentive for no longer attacking
