Not necessarily. Doesn't piracy mean that the boarding party is able to assume control of the ship (powerplant, steering, etc)? I suspect the design will make that extremely difficult.
There will always be a need to allow for control assumption via a human interface. So the difficulty will be how to assume the conrol. Still I could see these easily being introduced with a small cadre of personnel specifically for defensive purposes.
You assume old fashioned piracy rather than gaining entry to the ships computers and redirecting it. No need to send out a boarding party to take control.
A recent experiment (ships crew knew it was going to happen)was made where a ship operating in the automated (e-navigation) mode was electronically hijacked by an outside source without the crew knowing when it happened.
I suspect the design will make it extremely easy for a human to override the automatics, lest a programming error cause a ship to go rogue into a busy port.
