Wow, these are epic. Thought I would drop in on one for the first time, I was heading to a planet to collect materials. Anyway, there is a lone DBE being hit on by a wing of 7 pirates of various ships, Eagles, sideys etc. Nothing remotely challenging for my ferdy, however, they all turned on me. I managed to get them all and win the day. Or so I thought, another wing of 6 dropped in, a vulture and same ships as before. For some reason they all didn't turn on me, managed to pick them off 1 by 1.

Again I thought I had won the day when a wing of 8 dropped in, sideys, cobras etc. You can see where I am going with this. Killed them all and then the actual final wing of pirates dropped in. 3 yes 3 vultures all dangerous, was just starting my attack run when a conda went by, scanned him - dangerous and part of the pirates. Naturally I had to eliminate him first. Was a battle to say the least, I won but he managed to strip me of my shields and 20% worth of hull. Lucky for me, the vultures were preying on the now disabled DBE, so I could allow my bi-weave shield to recharge. Picked them all off and got myself a nice payout of 700k. Not bad for 12 minutes.

FD you have excelled yourselves on the new encounters. Was very fun and hairy at times, almost had to bug out and call it even.
