That was a fun battle

Well there I was in my somewhat loaded out Llama when I go to drop some cargo in a Rlaan system near the Aera/and I guess the Confed territory. I can't remember the system name, it was like ygghhsyjfhhhhsttfhdhsh lol anyways I fly in there, my Llama is loaded over 1000% and the Aera were interested in kicking my ass, I ran to the Star fortress for cover (I was suppose to dock with a Mule) I took a good amount of damage to my shields, armor, hull, and systems. I get to the fortress and instantly realize my error, the Aera were attacking it with 2 big ships (starts with a "A") and a ton of fighters, the Rlaan were defending themselves with thier own fighers and the Confeds were their attacking too with fighters and a clydesdale and a bunch of merchant ships including some Oxs, Mules and Rlaan cargo ships.
I quickly dock dump my cargo, cancel the mission, repair, then I get out there to kick some ass. It seemed like the Aera had everyone outgunned and out numbered, the Starfortress lost its shields on one side, the clydesdale was looking bad, but their 2 capships looked banged up too, but they had a ton of Niclanders and Artisons and I think I saw the confeds and Rlaan firing on eachother too, so I think this was a 3 way battle. I stayed close to the base cause I would go out, fire out a ship for a while till I took some damage, dock, repair, then get back out there. There were soooooo many beams going everywhere. Eventually the cyldesdale fell with a BIG bang, the cargo ships seemed to block up after a blast or 2 from the Aera cap ships, and the 2 aera ships where pretty badly damaged and retreated and fighters were still dog fighting, but thanks to the star fortress and I assume Rlaan back ups, they took them out. It seemed like either all the merchant ships ran or blew up and the confeds retreated too, but their were only 3 or 4 ships left. Rlaan had like 20-25 ships surrounding the base in the end. I dunno what happened to the Aera capships though. I lost a bunch of money to it through repairs and missle restocks. The battle lasted over a hour, it probably would have been shorter, but my frame rate dropped to about 20-30. I don't think I single handly destroyed anything, I damaged some, finished off one, but I was getting damage pretty quickly. I guess Luddites in Reademers and pirates in Hyenas have nothing on the Aera military and my modded out Llama isn't as top dog as I thought it was
Worse part, I got a couple cargo missions for the system next door, as soon as I jumped into the next system I got jumped by a bunch of aera fighters and they took me out in less than 10 seconds, I tried fighting, realized real quick I was dead meat, hit manual spec, and I was wiped out a second later
