I start a fight with quarg ships, get aggro and have no problem damaging it to the point where it would be disabled, but at around 20% hull they jump out every time instead of being disabled, even if my guns are moving the ship around.
What's the deal?

Is the problem that they don't aggro to you and instead just jump away? Quarg ships need to have their shields reduced to 99% before they attack you, so you need to do that damage fast. Try having your fleet fight it all at once be selecting the wardragon and pressing your fleet fights target button.
No that's not it.
The fight is started and I have aggro.
It's just that when the ship gets to about 20% hull, it jumps out instead of staying put, even if my guns make it move around.

Or wait for the parrot ship
It’s a free wardragon assuming you can take it down
Capn Pester? Pretty sure you can't disable it, tho not sure
Not sure
Whenever I find the damn thing I always don’t have the fleet with me
no, he has the "never disabled" personality.
Shoot
Anything else that can’t be disabled?
Try a fleet of cheap ships (think starter size) with flamethrowers
The problem isn't damage, I have 12 Bactrians with electron lasers and ion cannons
Heat damage from lots of flamethrowers is far more effective then ion cannons. It's not about shield and hull damage, it's about status effects that stall the generator of your target.
Regardless, farming the quarg is a bad idea, unless you already have an excellent reputation with them. The best way to increase your rep with them is by repairing their ships when their enemies disable them. Incidentally, this is also the best way to farm them: find a disabled ship, shoot it with a weak weapon, board it with a ship that has lots of cargo space, take the good stuff, and get the hell out of there. Keep an eye on your rep (you can see it in your pilot file) and don't farm unless your rep is high enough to take the hit.
