Stuck between a rock and a hard pirate sub

if your submarine gets stuck, is it just game over? Ive destroyed all the of the pirate hull yet im still stuck and unable to even exit the submarine.

How do you mean? Did the pirate submarine land on top of your own sub, making it so you can't move anymore? If so, you'll need to fully repair the pirate sub and then pilot it away from your own sub so it can move again. If you can't exit your own submarine you'll just have to cut your way out with plasma cutters, get on the pirate sub itself and then fix everything in there you can.

You might have to sacrifice a fuel rod too to get the sub moving again, unless you feel like recovering it after you move the sub anyway. Personally I like to send the pirate subs into the abyss when they pin my sub down, lol. It's cathatic.

On the bright side, that's a load of Mechanical and Engineering XP awaiting you!

It's quite a common thing that sunk pirate submarines end up landing on someones own. The one thing you can do is to actually fix up the pirate sub and move it off you.

Also, if at any point in the game you find your self stuck in your sub, remember that you have plasma cutters. Find a room with a wall towards water, close it, than cut your own subs wall open to make an exit.
It helps tremendously if you cancel the AI-s "fix hull breach" orders for the time... and also if you wear a dive suit.

no good, tried to fix it. engine was permanently stuck in automatic control but not hooked up to any navigation terminal and even if I did hook up the terminal to any power source, it was constantly broken and unfixable

Do the pumps work on the pirate sub? I'm not sure if it would work, but if you can fix it up so the water is out of it than hook up its ballast tanks to wiring that forces them to empty it should float up, thus releasing your sub.
