A Deadly Surprise

Flight Log #01 I was flying around Fionn looking for materials to engineer my new corvette. I came across a distress call, thought I better go help out even though I was in a AspX. As a closed in I noticed something peculiar, 4 Federal Security Anacondas were closing in on the distress call I had targeted. I dropped in anyway. As my scanners started adjusting to the new conditions a Viper MK3 zoomed past my cockpit. Dammit! 8 new contacts, 4 of them were hostile Anacondas. I banged the throttle up and started spamming my FSD Engage button. "Come on!" They unleashed a barrage of bullets, lasers and missiles at my little AspX. Lucky I had spent the extra million on my thrusters so I could outrun the Anacondas. The smaller ships may be a problem though. I took a deep breath and disabled FA and spun my ship around. My multi-cannons and pulses made short work of the lead vipers 's shield and hull. I quickly checked my distance from the Anacondas, 3.5km. It's still not enough. My COVAS started screaming at me again as another ship came into range, it was a chieftain. I saw a glint of purple and bam, my shields were down. This was to much for my little ship to take. I finished off the chieftain's shields and popped their canopy, "Take that!" I screamed even though I knew no one could hear me. I swung my ship in a 180 and enabled FA, it was time to bug out. I pressed the boost button one more time and engaged the FSD. I take a sigh of relief as my ship goes into SC. I have learnt my lesson, distress calls are dangerous.
