Kamikaze Cutters!

Watch out!
Just spent some time killing for TOoM in a CZ. Battling it out with a Deadly Imperial Cutter. It was doing some great evasive work, boosting away when shields went down and so on.
But when its hull came down to 5% it turned all Japanese Zero on me. Trying to ram me and suiciding against my hull knocking my shields out and giving my Dropship 10% hull damage.
Haven't done alot of CZs, so this was a first for me.
Excellent AI! Well done FD. Is it SJA we have to thank for this?

Only one Cutter? That is nothing... Try with two (I wrote it in another thread)

This happened to me too. Last night was my first time in CZs, I went to help the war effort in Exioce. In one of the instances there was a Cutter that came right at me and dropped my shields. I don't remember it's rank or how its shields were, as I was nervous to be in the CZ in the first place and after that crazy maneuver more yet, so I bolted from there as fast as possible.

No, both shooting at me and when they had they had their shields down the rammed me on after the other. I managed to pop a couple of SCBs in between so I got away with 64% Hull and a few Eagles on my tale

Made around 2.5 Mil last night from combat bonds and paid a bit less than 1Mil for repairs because of these bloody kamikaze cutters.
Shields down running away, a Cutter and an Asp on my tail, the cutter is 40% hull because I was working on it before everybody starts shooting at me, the cutter rams me and dies I lose 50% power but I manage to kill the Asp and get to the station to see a 750K repair bill....
