Found an interesting way to deal with them.
I found Mr scratching my manboobs at George Lucas. Decided to go into solo to dock, then back into open once inside. went to the surface, and watched him for a while, he does seem to be affected by lasers, but they very rarely hit - like he has infinite chaff.
I decided to buy myself an Eagle - I wanted something agile to allow me to dodge his dumbfires, but be able to aim my own. So I planned to equip it to the brim with dumbfires... An dint he end, losing it wasn't much of a financial hit. Not like a Python...
So, I go to the shipyard, and there is a flaw in my plan.
I have about 60T of rares in my hold. Argh... I have have to come back and try my plan after I do my run...
Z...
YES!!! I was there on a pad watching. Then I saw all these rares floating outside and thought I'd grab some. Leathery eggs especially.
He got me with a dumbfire, took out my shields, but I was able to get away.
