I have a great story to tell you, and I enjoyed the experience quite a bit.
I had an assassination mission to kill a Leonardo Jameson (or something along the lines of that) in Orrere. Now, as you may know, dedicated assassins have the same equipment that bounty hunters carry, so they're easy to mistake. And when I jumped in to Orrere, the pirates mistook me for a bounty hunter.
I had two interdiction in a row, and I couldn't, just couldn't, shake the second one. It's a Cobra Mk III, and I get him down to 77% hull in about 7 seconds before I realize that there are 5 PLAYER COMMANDERS in the instance. I get a message from their leader, who's name I will not reveal, reading "We don't like bounty hunters on our turf". After a quick, five second laser show, I'm spiralling out of control with no thrusters and 26% hull. I was desperately messaging the leader, telling them that I was an Assassin, not a bounty hunter. The laser show stopped after that, and I receive a message. "So... how's things?".
After a bit of chit-chat, and me complimenting them on their excellent coordination, the leader tries to bump me around to stop my spinning. That ends up killing me, and although I friended him, I haven't spoken to them since.
Again, they were surprisingly well organized. Not only were they OBVIOUSLY chatting via Teamspeak, Mumble or Skype, they were uniformely armed - The leader was obvious due to his Clipper, two were in ASPs and two were in Cobras. If that was a group of friends trying to enjoy Elite: Dangerous, you're doing it absolutely right. I hope you get all of the crredits from those filthy traders.
