Help needed: Wing up with me to clean Altair from pirates Wings

There are these pirates in a Wing in Altair, who think they own the system, not letting anyone to enter.
This is happening every evening I play (GMT+1), so I'm always forced to flee alone in my FdL, being interdicted every time by 3 of them (yesterday were 6, two wings of 3). I'm always asking them some fair 1v1 but they keep thinking it is more funny to attack me in 6.
They are generally nice and funny in chat, but they do not like me or anyone else to be there.

I love Altair, it is my second home, and I like to go there as I wish. So, I'd like to Wing up and go there to teach them a lesson, as I'm fairly good in PvP.
Anyone looking for some nice PvP? :D

Another thing:
Yesterday, while I was trying to flee from them for the third time, spamming chaffs and shield cells, my game crashed (!!!): the screen was freezed but I could ear game sounds in the background, so the game was still going on, with me helpless! Immediately after the sound "Eject, Eject", the usual Direct3D crash popup appeared and the game closed (this one: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=5451&d=1419051121). At restart I found myself in front of the rebuy screen.
This is the third time I loose my ship in this way, so I decided to open a ticket at FD: they answered me this morning (!!!) refunding me the 4.3M rebuy cost, as they found a DX11 crash was really happened!
I'm experiencing those kind of crashes every time, my drivers are up to date, I tried everything then I gave up. I found that, if I down-clock my GPU (AMD R9 270X 2GB Sapphire/Toxic), the problem occurs less often. I hope 1.3 will address my issue.

EDIT:
Rendez vous in Bhritzameno, Feynman terminal, starting from today June 4th 2015, around 20/21 GAME TIME (should be 21/22 BST, 22/23 here in Italy).
I will wait for anyone of you and wing up. I'll send friend requests to all of you.
The Altair Liberation Fleet is coming... :D

i can arrange to take a look at the area with some of my 'friends' but if you have anymore intel you can give, it would be nice and would make things easier, such as ship types and possible known weapon types etc, who seems to be the leader, who seems to be inexperienced etc, but i cant make any promises, 6 large ships clipper class and above wouldnt be easy to take down, not unless you can atleast match or surpass their numbers :D

Thanks for replying! :D
They usually are just in 3: two Clippers (spam them with Chaff and they are dead meat), and a FdL. The leader is one of the Clippers, his name is very funny, he's funny too in chat, they seem handsome people, BUT they pretend to own Altair and that's enough.
I don't know If I can write his name here, but in this case it is not name and shaming, but just communicating it :D And I will bring him some fame too...
I'd like to take part in the assault :D
 
I don't have much to bring to the party at the moment against an FDL with support, but I'll drop you an in-game line and if we're about at the same time, why not take a looksie?

Is your CMDR name the same as your forum name? PM me if not.

Thanks! My CMDR name is in my signature...
 
I played back my piracy recordings from yesterday and the one time my wing interdicted your good self you managed to high wake away safely. Looking forward to seeing you there this evening anyway.

Overclocking a GPU is done at owner's risk. You must be prepared to have an adequate power supply and sufficient cooling. Failing that you must dial down your clock settings until you get stability.

Cheers there :D
Yes that was the first time. Then I came a second time just to tell you guys that it was not fair to attack 6 vs 1, and to give me the chance of a 1vs1, but in reply I was interdicted again, three ships shooting at me, I was still able to high jump, but my game crashed that time, and my ship was blown up with me harmless.
But no problem, as FD refunded me.
I just do not like to not freely enter my home system. I told you guys I would not have bothered you, but you attacked me anyway.
You play legit game, BTW, so I will play the same legit game on you. See you in the black :D

I did not overclock my GPU at all. But it comes overclocked on its own from Sapphire.
I had to UNDERclock it to make it work slightly better.

Can you adjust the speed of the fans ?
 
I would love to come up for some pew pew. I will bring my combat fitted python up and maybe a friend or two. Going to need a clipper or fdl to wing with. Can't chase down the clippers when they run. I would say my pvp is average, maybe slightly better, but nothing to write home to Mikunn about. Don't mind if I see the rebuy screen a few times so long as I am having fun!
 
with regard to your game crashing, do you run afterburner while playing? I had crashes while playing ED when running afterburner in the past, disabling afterburner stopped them for me.
 
just a word of caution to all you fellas willing to help this other fella out, dont go in there one by one unorganized and in a mess, you will probably feed them targets and die like lemmings, get organised, form a wing or bring friends :)

Yes, I've did it too, sometimes it goes better, then it happens again randomly... that's why I gave up in the end. I've Really tried everything possible.

I'll be in my FdL. Or a Battle/Clipper if you prefer...

Thanks, but I keep it disabled.

You're right sir.
Meeting point in Bhritzameno around 20/21 GAME TIME (should be 21/22 BST, 22/23 here in Italy). I will wait for anyone of you and wing up. I'll send friend requests to all of you.
I hope there will be a battle fleet departing from Feynman Terminal this evening, with more then one wing :D
Voice Comm is welcome. I suppose they will be waiting for us: Let the Altair Liberation Fleet do its job...
BTW you will always find me patrolling the Bhritzameno/Altair route, to keep it clean.

I'm willing to help out. I'm trying out battle builds on my anaconda. I'm inexperienced in combat, but looking to learn.

If you are ready to lose your ship, there is a place for you CMDR.

Glad to hear you CMDR Tardis, I've met you in game some times: I love this kind of things too!
