#1 Cool! One helpful thing would be to build the guardrails around the edges of the ship in such a manner that grappling hooks are useless.

If things keep hardening up, however, the pirates will come to the point where they will just start shooting ships with RPGs as punishment for being too difficult to hijack. We have time to think about what we are going to do about this now, but the answer is going to lie along the lines of some kind of "disproportional" response so they never get to the point where their tiny minds start thinking along those lines.
