Edited by: Larry Wickes on 15/06/2011 03:15:59 I love this thread. I've never lost my MOST prized ship, however I have lost some ships that I did rather like, and mostly it was to my stupidity.
When I first started and was a noob I had a Drake and did Caldari missions and when I got enough LP I got the passive resist mods. At the time they were worth about 50mil each. We were wardecced and I decided to undock. I encountered a Curse, and a couple T1 cruisers, died, and was pretty mad. I wanted to hop in another ship and blow these guys up!! But I knew I couldn't.
I contacted one of the pilots that killed me and asked him how things were going. After talking to him for a little bit just casual talk, I felt better.
Technically the most expensive lost I ever had was a clone of +5's. I just got into Jita and a friend came over, so I minimized EVE to talk to him for a min, oddly, we got on the topic of EVE. So I brought my screen back up and I was in station. I said to myself "I wasn't in station...." 600 ish mil down the drain.
I said to my friend "Someone killed me while we were talking." He said "Really?" I laughed and said "Yeah, Oh well."
The worst losses are as many say; Not because they were expensive, but because you did something stupid, and by stupid, I mean to say your death was avoidable. A few weeks ago I was jumping ships into a staging system. 99% of the time it was blue. The last ship I went to jump in and it was camped by pirates. 2 Machs, a Legion, and Lach vs my Curse.
Well, here's were stupidity kicked in... Only the Lach had a point, and it took the pirates a good 30 seconds to chew through my Curse .... All I had to do was neut the Lach and be on my way.... *Facepalm*
Another time I went to a CTA and on the way a cloaky gang was on intel, five hours later after the op I was tired and wanted to return to my home system - 54 jumps away. Off I went after surviving a fleet fight of 1200. The cloaky gang was still on intel. I was flying a Cerb and manI LOVED that ship. All the lights on it and stuff. About eight jumps in I saw a neut in system and new it was a scout, but I was tired and ignored him.
I jumped through the gate and there they were. At first nothing, however, they all decloaked. I kinda looked at it in disbelief, but then accepted my fate. I was a fool. I was so mad at my stupid mistake that I decided even before I was in my pod that I'll let them pod me to save me the trip.
My most prized ship at the moment I'd have to say is my Phantasm. I LOVE it. Tons of damage and tank for a cruiser.
