I had a similar experience just now. I was doing some delivery work out in LHS 3447 when I decided to stop in at a USS to see if I could grab some goodies to dump into the black market at Lawson Orbital. A quick look around when I left supercruise showed a wanted NPC eagle waiting for me with weapons deployed but shields down. I knew I couldn't hope to outrun him so I threw my startwinder into the fight, trying to keep close underneath him. After a few hits he broke away before turning around for an attack run. I boosted and flew straight at him with my guns blazing hoping to drastically cut the time I was exposed to his fire. The next thing I knew I'd lost all forward momentum and was breathing space. It seems playing chicken with AI is not a sound strategy.
Still, if I could just make it to a station the 6,000CR bounty added to the job I already had should fix me right up. With that thought giving me a warm fuzzy feeling inside I locked onto the nearest station which as luck would have it was Lawson. It was only 1,500ls away. I didn't waste anytime re-entering supercruise.
What felt like an age after I dropped out into real space and tore straight to the station. With only 30 seconds of oxygen left if I hoped to land at all it was going to have to be hard, fast, and filled with prayer.
I requested permission to dock but I didn't hold much hope. The life support system was on it's last legs and the air was getting thin.
3KM out from my landing pad the ships computer advised me to eject but it was too late; I was already suffocating.
