Flying in sector space at max. Pulled into Deep Space Encounter. 3 fleets at spawn point fire point blank before my shields are up.
Cannot exit to sector.
Must respawn.

Rinse, repeat.
Quit game.
UPDATE; oooh even better. ships appear directly above and behind. Unable to hit with any weapon due to angle and because in combat cannot fly around fast enough before kaboom. Not to mention the UI bug kicked in so I have to hit every key 3-5 times...waiting 2-3 seconds each time to see if it worked...oh wait I'm dead again

wait 5 seconds
red alert drops
you can exit then, and respawn in sector space or if you are feeling frisky respawn and the exit button asap and if you do it fast enough you will warp out while they are firing at you.
The underlined part is not quite accurate.
Simply select "EXIT" immediately. You'll warp back out, even if you're under attack. I've done it many times.
After that, I'd recommend cruising at the "ceiling" to avoid them.
