He was waltzing up to beagle 2 like he owned the place, so without a moments notice, I snuck behind him, disabled his drives and started looking for his cargo hold. He paniced, shot the station, and was stuck there getting battered by the station guns. He has a few turreted guns hitting me, but I didn't mind much and continued looking for his cargo doors. A few seconds later, someone who clearly has no respect snuck up behind me in a Viper and killed me. Right as my ship exploded, I watched the Anaconda worth millions of credits blow up before my very eyes. it was a beautiful sight be behind. I later questioned the Viper and slew him for his hubris. Today was a good day.
I killed my first Anaconda of the Beta! (Player)

I tried to kill 4 anacondas so far with viper. It ended with me being destroyed in 2 of the cases and in the other 2 the anaconda fled with SC at below 10% hull, waste of time :<
Lol, nice
Out of curiosity, what ship/loadout were you in?
Viper, 4 cannons. I'm trying out the cobra now though.
Cannons eh. I need to try those out. Are they as hard to hit targets as the Rail Gun is? I guess when it's an Anaconda, it's not so bad, but dogfighting with Federal Fighters would be a challenge I guess.
Well, the station helped a bit
And you got your behind served on a silver plate by a Viper. Like I said, confusing thread...
It was just a weird situation that I wanted to share. I was surprised how easy it was to disable the Anaconda. They're so rare to see (The first one I've seen in the flesh. I did see one in supercruise a few days ago), that I just couldn't resist taking a shot at it.
Well, the station helped a bit
Sounds like station helped a lot, lol
How exactly did you shot a ship in SC?
Do your weapons ignore shields or how does it work? (never shot down a bigger (n/pc) ship)
I broke down his shields, then disabled the drives. I woulda popped his cargo hold wide open too if given another few seconds xD
Nice to see PvP start to live up, after everybody grinded for the money to do so... first come first serve I guess!
So, cannons is now the fotm for surprise attacks? Shield disabling lasers not worth it?

He didn't. That sentence re-emphasised:
The first one I've seen in the flesh (I did see one in supercruise a few days ago). I just couldn't resist taking a shot at it.
As an aside, I love the way ships display in SC and it'll make for a fun mini-game when they include interdictions.
hate to say it but i took out an NPC anaconda in one of the unknown signal sources, i was in a bog standard sidewinder at the time - he just sat there cussing at me over text chat while i killed him.
