For me it was a Diamondback Explorer and a wing of 3 Asp Explorers . Doh! At least the rebuy wasn't that much.
Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast.

I suppose it doesn't qualify because I didn't die. But I took on a wing consisting of 1 Anaconda with a Deadly rating and 2 Federal Gunships with Dangerous ratings in my Federal Assault Ship.

Baroness is loaded down with 2200 armor, Bi-Weave Shields, 2 large beam lasers and 2 medium multi-cannons.

I came away with 3% hull and two bounties on the Gunships and the Conda was down to 11% hull when I rammed it in an attempt to kill it and it didn't work :(

Today I logged in and ran a few missions and then brought my Python out to Empire HQ so I am set to start my fortification runs in the AM. Just wasn't in the mood today, which is odd.

Glad I'm not the only one. You live and learn. I've gone with more hull reinforcement and boosters now so that I can survive a little longer.

Last night I encountered a compromised nav beacon and took on few smaller wings including a pair of fer-de-lances. I had enough left to pop an elite cobra too but then bailed as was getting late and I was down to about 60% ish as well.

Well a complete dickhead move was trying to take on some defence turrets with 27% hull after being creamed earlier by some other defence turrets.....

One thing that pissed me right off was I got hit both times whilst out of L.O.S.......I was hiding...Their beams or whatever were going way above my head and to my left.......

I actually looked around thinking someone else was there and it was shooting at them........

Sadly not......

Another page in the chapter.......

I found out today that 2 Pythons, Asp Explorer and Asp Scout are too much for my FAS with no shields and 52% hull.... (yeah, i actually tried to finnish that one python off and thought i would jump after that)

I was beginning to think it was impossible to die in FAS, but i was proved wrong :D
