Insane groups of marauders at Nav points?

Died 4 times tonight which is a personal record for me, happily hunting at a local nav point saving up funds for the class A and B upgrades in that system, each time I died however seemed to be from random groups of marauders at the Nav point, just sitting there waiting, and literally out pops 3-4 ships out of supercruise who instantly open fire on me, needless to say, I died rather quickly in my little old Eagle, they strip my shields before I have time to respond.

Anyone else encountering this? And is this a new feature? As it's the first I've came across it. Quite frustrating to be honest, but at the same time quite cool... :S

the resource extraction points around some of the gas giants near me are about the same, you jump in and there's a massive battle going on between an anaconda and EVERYONE ELSE

Yep extraction points have some of the best action I've seen. I watched a Deadly Sidewinder run rings around a Cobra and 2 law enforcement Vipers last night before deciding to get involved myself. As soon as I opened fire on the Sidewinder, his mate jumps up behind me and I'm now facing two of them. Then to make matters worse, one of the cops strays in front of my lasers and I've now got the local law after me as well. That was pretty much time for me to get out.

Haha, See, I wouldn't mind this, what gets me is the fact a squadron of ships come out of no where, less than 1KM away from me and kick my rear quite thoroughly :D I tried concentrating on one ship at a time, but it's useless when at least one of them is a Cobra and the others Vipers or less, they match my speed and give me a thrashing. Was saving up for a better FSD, but now saving for armour, new power source, and some nifty shields and weapons ;)

I have seen this once or twice. The last one was 2 Sidewinders and a Viper which all opened up on me the second they dropped out of SC. Luckily I do a good Rincewind impression and didn't lose too much off my hull that time. FSD charging with a disruptive mass of 18 is not fun when the space around you is filled with death!
