NPC Quad-Wings. Anyone found any yet?

I realised this while posting on another thread.
I've killed countless wings of NPCs in wings of 2 or 3, but I've yet to come across a quad-wing battle yet.
Has anyone found any?

Do they exist...?
 
I fought a wing of 7 yesterday.
My poor Clipper was bleeding when I left, entrails hanging out everywhere. Thank Thor for new repair prices.

Was fun though.
 
We found a strong signal source with 2 Elite anacondas and multiple Cobras. didn't hang around to count them. We ran away like little girls.
 
Anyone seen this ?

How is this possible or to the point WHY and what chance do we have if we come across a mass NPC wing?

A wing of 4 anacondas might do rather well i imagine.

Plus it adds some life the to galaxy, there should always be encounters that are completley out of your 'scope of operations', keeps things interesting.

saw 10 crates of gold.
hurray free money.
then i hear "i cant believe he fell for that"
pop - about 12 full spec monsters appear and proceed to blow the stuffing out of me

1.2 is scary now - oh and my shields dont work now lol - guess they have to be boosted or something now

This happened pre 1.2 as well.
Were they in a Wing?

encountered several wings yesterday night, i recall seeing several 5 wing and even a 6 wing, all at a (pretty busy) nav beacon.

they were "small" ships however, mostly sidewinders witha few cobras and vipers
 
I met an 8 Vultures wing, was with a friend of mine and we run like little girls, he was badly injured in the hull and in the spirit

I found 7 at a strong signal source. It was 7 vultures and i ran for my life in my viper. They got my shields down in no time. It was fun.

got interdicted in my viper by a pirate npc wing of 5, a python and atleast 3 other small crafts, the 5th was unknown... my luck was that python had no shields, and the others never attacked me. not until i attacked one of them...

it will get a little harder i guess when npc wingmates attack instead of just fly around doing not much, as they currently do sometimes :)
