I've done the same in my Falcon, which is a touch less of an accomplishment, I admit.

Maybe others might like to list some of their better victories whether NPC or PVP. (I shy away from PVP right now because I have no interest in being overrun by a group of level 50 ships. Although I'd like to see how I'd do against a ship of equal strength. But I hear that doesn't happen to often.)
No, unfortunately not.

I find solo vs numbers of NPC more risky than actual levels. From about lvl 24 I could take solo level 44s (though it took for ever), but throw additional ships into the question and it can get a bit more brown trousers!

The most cost-effective battles vs NPCs are against those of around 10-12 levels higher, and in groups of 3 or less. Larger groups are harder to split, and higher levels just take too long.

Soloing a x12 Fleet with a 1st rate FTW!

You were solo for all these? If so... wow... just wow. You should FRAP it or something because, well... that's unbelievable.

Yup, all were solo. I have screens of each one, but not fraps (lags me to hell).

My biggest bragging rights would be

Locust vs another locust and mc bermuda (preboarding)
MC Locust vs MC Stralsund and MC Lexington (open beta)

More recently
MC Raa vs Triton and Heavy D
MC Raa vs another MC Raa and MC Capri

All solo and I'm a NO.
