I think its delusional, arrogance implies that you are important enough to had have a shot in the first place.

This is a very interesting thread, and brings back alot of memories. The one I can't shake though was when I first gained access to the TC (have always played UGTO - was even in GTN under Dem back in the day, for a lil while).
Can't remember who was in the MV with me at the time, but I think we were responding to those rotten Ickies trying to take some planets away from us. Low and behold, we arive on the scene, and find a relativly even match, force composition wise. Pilot skill wise, was a completely different matter.
The opening encounter began as a general free-for-all that degenerated into a series of individual duels. Through the process of firing off the stray alpha at already engaged dreads while searching for an available target, I find myself in a head-on pass with an AC piloted by none other than Banshee himself.
Suffice it to say, that head-on pass was the only truly good damage exchange in the short time I was still alive and hurling ordinance back at him. Once he got on my 6, I couldn't shake him. I tried everything I could think of but he wouldn't go away. It was an endless stream of "torps - manual det - splash damage - thank you, sir, may I have another."
He even tracked me through 2 or 3 e-jumps and still was there hounding me until he finished me off.
I've had my tail end handed to me on numerous occasions, by many excellent pilots, but none of them are as vivid a memory as that encounter.
