Nice challenge...

... a wing of 8 deadly-to-elite sidewinders. O'boy those little things can bite as a swarm

Was a weirdo USS, with a big 'clean' convoy, and then that 8-ship wing of 'wanteds'.

Guess you've beaten them in the end, in your Python?

Lol, na. Right now pootling around with iCourier for the fun of it. iCourier isn't quite up to that sort of task - it's 16 weapons prodding at you afterall.

Ah rgr.

I've seen one of those Sidey-squads in Maia recently.
They were stationary in formation, close to Obsidian Orbital....I rammed one, in order to try to get them do something, but I came in a little to hot, and killed one of them.
Station didn't like that, had to run.

If you take the "Hunt Pirate" missions, you can get those spawns in supercruise, up to 12 on occasion. Unfortunately only the lead ship counts for the mission because <stupid buggy missions> but yeah...

Ayup, only one of the was 'mission target'. Nailed that and ran like heck - thanks to HRPs and whatnot left the scene with 88% hull - shields melted about like they had not even been there :S

Spotted a Wing of 12 Sideys and Eagles once in my FDL. I went in the other direction.

I was once at SSS. It was gold trap one. I waited 10 minutes for npc and then i was like "Nah i just pick it up, this isn't trap." When i picked one canister 8 elite vultures spawned. My A rated clipper lasted for 10s (i had time to boost twice).
