Here's a screenshot of me getting my poor little destroyer torn to shreds by a pirate cruiser and his buddies.
Its a slow and painful shredding, of course. With lots of time to try to get away, find cover or outside help. I just barely made it to a nearby planet, which I hid behind long enough for the pirates to get distracted by a passing cargo ship.
One of the greatest joys in life is seeing a TCN battleship ride to the rescue when you're besieged by pirates. A glorious broadside of quantum torpedoes, bringing sweet sweet revenge.
