Never bring a knife to a gun-fight!

Let me set the scene...You're flying a Federal Corvette, a fully-functional PvE killing machine, complete with Elite fighter pilot. You've just won another skirmish in the local CZ. You receive a message. The faction you have been fighting against has sent a Hitman to target you. "How nice of them to let me know!" you think to yourself.
Oh well, I'll deal with that when it happens, but now it's time to restart this CZ. Better get prepared. See that all the multi-cannons are loaded, check that the shield is back up to 100%, recall the fighter, and jump into supercruise.
Immediately, there's another message. This time it's from your would-be assassin. The usual stuff. Well, good luck catching me, I'm only looping round to start this CZ again, as you drop out of SC, back into the CZ.
Okay, let's get this show on the road... Battlestations! Hardpoints out, deploy fighter, pick a side.
All of a sudden, in jumps my assassin, flying a Chieftain.
Chieftains melt quite quickly under a pair of class 4 beam lasers.
