Fighting a gang of 20 frigates solo in my dual rep Dominix down in Providence years ago.
By far the most outnumbered but still fighting that I've ever been solo, got a few kills and still escaped.
Probably not that amazing compared to some stories, but even got a friendly respectful convo from the frigate gang FC offering his respect which made it more special for me. |

Has to be my first cap fight.
After all that training it felt great to finally be part of the 'cap fleet'. Even the mundane pre-fight routines were exiting, it was great to finally be part of one of the reasons I ventured out into 0.0.
Shortly after, supercaps kinda threw the whole cap fight thing under the bus and I've left 0.0 as well, but it was a great "first" experience.

^^ Nice.
I have enough to write a book tbh.
Probably the best (and most nerve shattering) was whilst evacuating from 0.0 sov space that we had lost to Cry Havoc.
we had post the dominion patch launch like many other small alliances / corps run out and grabbed a small pocked of systems for ourselves, it had been great fun and along the way we had destroyed the Maru Kage' alliance, spent time upgrading the systems and had a huge amount of fun with smallish sized fleet fights and roams into deep 0.0.
All of this ended when some friendly neighbors that we were working with decided to drop an outpost. This immediately made the system highly attractive to the local power of the area Cry Havoc (how I miss them, bastards but good ones). No sooner had the Outpost been put up - without a cyno jammer present (not us again I hasten to remind you), than CH moved in smashing all of the resistance we could muster aside and took the outpost system, this left us trapped down a dead end cluster. We evacuated what we could under guns but needed to move a freighter full of goods out. The value was at least 20bil plus in the freigher, so we decided to do it post downtime and try and sneak it out the door.
Our gang consisted of 1 rapier to web the freighter, a few battle cruisers and a probing rapier and the loot laden freighter. This we knew was a desperate move but it really was move it or lose it, so we took the chance. We had some scouts out that we had available but unfortunately as we jumped the freighter into a particularly long 100 au warp to the out gate CH logged into the system in question. (I say logged in not jumped in although we never really confirmed if that was what happened) but the scouts had not seen the hostiles and all of a sudden there is a 15 man fleet sitting on the out gate to where a loot stuffed freighter is in warp to.
To make matters worse the freighter had been webbed to increase it's align time so was aggressed, this meant that although we had logged it off it would still show in space and sure enough an Arazu dropping probes was seen with the hostile fleet. We were left with a true wtf moment. If we logged on the freighter it would likely land on the outbound gate or get caught, so we knew we had to kill the probing / tackle ship and try to get it out.
But ofc it was logged off in space so how to warp to it? The answer was to probe it our ourselves, the friendly rapier got it very fast (wolfman13 ftw) and sat waiting for the CH arazu to land, sure enough it dropped out of warp pointed the Freighter and in turn got tackled, we warped our fleet in, killed the arazu and re-logged in the freighter and warped it off in time to the outbound gate as the hostile fleet landed, most of us got xploded at that point but the 20 bill freighter made the gate, jumped into low sec and got to a station.
Dominion was an amazing expansion, never had so much fun. sniff.

Hey guys,
my heartbeating moment was this (on my Main, I have the Killmails somewhere, I'll post 'em when im at home):
Explaining the Situation:
I used to be a canflipper and suicide ganker. Once I flipped a retriever and suicided him after smacktalking me. Three or four days after that i saw the same person, sitting in belt in a merlin, next to his can.
I knew it was a trap, so i decided to give him a chance to pay back. I jumped into my ASB-Hawk and flipped him, as soon as his can vanished he attacked me, and 4 ships were warping into the belt.
My first thought was "****, why now?" I knew i cant run, cause ASB-Hawk is slow as ****.. so I decided to accept the fact that I might lose my Hawk (44m, who cares?).
And this is how it went:
Merlin attacked me, I fired back. Seeing I will break his tank fast. 2 Drakes and 1 Omen warped in. I knew that the Drakes aren't really dangerous for my ASB-Hawk so i ignored them.
I killed the Merlin and switched to the Omen. He died pretty fast as well. (I was surprised!)
So, 2 Drakes and a few drones to handle left... thats what I thought. And then the "LOL-MOMENT". Manticore declaoking and agressing me... SB AGAINST HAWK, cool thing.
I didnt really thing about attack him, because usually Bombers try to stay on distance, not this one.. he landed 10k next to me. That was the second "LOL-MOMENT". I killed the Manticore as well and went on the Drakes.
I knew that the Drakes would easily tank me out... still, scrammed one and engaged him. The other Drake ran, and the guy I was pinning down convoed me, begging for mercy.
"I just got this Drake, please dont kill it" As a Merc, I wanted something, Killmail or Money!
End of the story, Drake paid me 50mill and I let him warp off.
5v1 - ASB-Hawk is ******* awesome!
After I checked the KM's I realized what happend... they were all shitfit and one of the Drakes attacked the Omen instead of me :'D.
That was my heartbeating moment... :)
Hope u like it |

I would have to say my greatest moment was a long one (2 years, lol). Back in early 09 I was having a really rough period in life, and video games were my only solace, but not filling the social void. Then I stumbled onto this game called EVE. 2 weeks in, I was recruited by a High Sec corp called The Golden Knights (TGKN, now closed).
I spent 2 full years with some of the best people I have met. In fact, I traveled several times to meet members in RL. My GF even photographed our CEO's wedding!
It was my time in the Knights that helped pull me out of a really bad place, the comradery, the genuine concern for each other, the teamwork - I can honestly say it probably saved my actual life.
I hate to be cliched, but to many of us, EVE IS REAL, in this sense. THat's why I love this game
Sorry for being sappy, lol.
Oh, and posting with my main. |

My greatest moment has to be my first kill, all those years ago...
Jumped into a low-sec system with my poorly fit, but well skilled Drake, a Cyclone warps on gate and tackles me, I start shooting while re-approaching gate. It was a bloody close fight, I had like 15% Structure while killing the cyclone. The way your hands shake everytime that happens in a small fight, is what keeps me playing. Did the whole sov thing for a few years, recently returned to small gang PVP, never looked back.

My first great memory was when I started the game and joined a mining corp. I had no mining skills and the only ship I could fly at the time was a rifter. The corp leader still made me feel important as I orbited their hulks and shot down any rats that spawned. I even got a small share of the isk from the mining op. I felt like a complete boss.
My next great memory was a few months later, when I moved to 0.0 to join a RL friend, who was in a corp based in syndicate. With little knowledge about 0.0, I jumped in my rifter and started off on 20 jump fear induced seizure trip to RLL. The one thing I did know about 0.0 was never warp from gate to gate, always stop at a nearby planet to scout. Luckily I made it to RLL without being blown up.
Another few months down the road I was still in Syndicate and my corp had joined a local alliance that would sometimes see pvp action when a roaming fleet would make its way into our pocket. We received intel that a large roaming gang was making its way to our system and that we should get ready to fight. By now I had trained into a stealth bomber and was cloaked up ready to torp once the fighting started. This was my first real fleet battle. At first I stayed cloaked and watched the fight, not wanting to get drones put on me from the get go. The enemy fleet was acting somewhat strange and only warping in 6-7 ships at a time to fight us instead of their entire fleet at once. After the second wave of ships a Widow decloaked on us and out popped a handful of stealth bombers, and then the Widow recloaked. Still to this day I remember on Teamspeak our FC shouting "Keeeel the Weeeedoooow, I neeeeeed the Weeeeedooooow!" in his Greek accent. A hero intercepter burned in the direction of the Widow decloaking it and got a point. I had to warp off during the fight a few times because of incoming damage. It felt truly epic.
Other great memories have been moving into a c3 with my corp and attempting to run a radar site with a handful of t1 battleships and almost dieing. Doing hot drops and bombing runs when I was in PL. Moving into a C5.
Sadly, lately the game has become less epic for me, perhaps I have been living in wormhole space for too long, or know too much about the game to give that epic feeling.... |

Ok, OP here, it looks like this thread is dying down so I'll throw in my story(s). It's hard to say what my greatest moment was but I'll tell a few.
Early in my eve career I specialized in ninja salvaging which kind of lead my to can flipping. I really enjoyed being a shady character in highsec. It was fun messing with people knowing that there were certain game mechanics in place that protected me. I wasn't very strong just yet and didn't want to pvp in lowsec or null because it intimidated me and every time I tried I immediately died. At the time I was all about the Imicus. Still one of my favorite ships to this day. It can not only probe, it packs a serious punch for such a small package. I tweaked it so that It had just enough tank to survive the onslaught of drones from a hulk and it still put out 140dps or something like that. So I was can flipping in Allamotte. Corpies were near by but I was pretty much soloing. I found a small gang of noobs mining in retrievers and started to mess with them. I stole from them so that I'd turn blinky red and then I started bumping them. I kept stealing all their ore and flipping it to my own container. I made it impossible for them to make any isk without stealing it back from me. Eventually they left and around that time one of my corp mates joined me in a nemesis, he sat cloaked near me. My aggression timer was still counting down as we sat on their belt waiting for them to come back. Eventually one of them showed up, and immediately targeted me. Coms exploded with laughter as my corp mates realized he was flying a Hound. The Hound immediately started shooting at me and did absolutely no damage. I got on top of him and took him down in mere seconds, it was beautiful. Then as the icing on the cake he wined in local and said that he filed a petition to CCP and he claimed that I was "hacking". Here it is: http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=12467019
My second story is about the time I killed a 5 man fleet all on my own. You see, I was and still am obsessed with solo roaming, granted I haven't done it in a while. Solo is all about the glory. It's not about 1v1 its about 1v5. 1v1 doesn't exist in Eve, but being outnumbered has its advantages, it means you have more ships to kill and the enemy is going to be aggressive in their attempts to kill you. I was soloing in a rupture. I was in K-QWHE and came across a small gatecamp of Coercer, Coercer, Jaguar, Cormorant. I immediately went to town on them overloading my guns and pretty much insta popped the coercers. A few minutes later after some cat and mouse the Jag finally got on top of me and we brawled it out but ultimately my neuts got the best of him and he went down--I got his pod too. I was deep in structure by then so I docked up and repped (the Cormorant was 80km off gate the whole time and he was sniping, I couldn't reach him so for the time being just ignored him). After I repped I figured I was doing well so why not continue? I went back to the gate I just left and the Cormorant was still there. I jumped through the gate because I wanted to jump back in and surprise him. I did just that and when I came back in I was 12 kilometers on the other side of the gate, HIS side of the gate, and he had moved 10 kilometers closer to the gate. This put me about 58km from him. Perfect. I decloaked, overloaded my MWD and burned towards him. He must have panicked cuz all he could think to do was shoot at me. He did poor damage and I got on him and he went down instantly. I hung out there for a bit hoping they'd throw more ships at me and eventually a Caracal jumped through the gate. He burned towards me looking like he wanted to fight so I obliged and just absolutely destroyed him, he did less damage than the 3 destroyers and frigate I'd just destroyed. After this I put my stuff in a station to grab later and went home. All in all one of the best experiences I've had in eve. An entirely successful solo pvp endeavor in which I survived and made isk from. I can only imagine what these guys were saying about me on coms. It felt reallly good.
I have some other stories but those two are pretty much my best. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=169738 |

Well, there's a lot of good stories in this thread so I'll add a couple of mine as well, though I doubt they'll be as good. Sorry for my big wall of text.
My first blood rushing heart pounding white knuckle hand shaking experience was a couple of weeks after I first started playing, over 4 years ago. I was running missions and got the mission - Break Their Will - . Someone in NPC corp chat (older player) had told me to take out the 3 power generators first to make it easier in destroying the Outpost.
I did it and after killing the initial NPC's, destroyed the Outpost when all of a sudden I see a bunch of Reds show up on screen with someone in Local chat saying they were going to hunt me down and chop off my head. Man was I scared. I quickly warped out, docked up and told corp chat some players were after me for destroying that Outpost.
The older corp members asked me what happened, then asked what the text color was in local chat. I told them and they all started laughing, telling me I had nothing to worry about. It was just the NPC's and part of the mission story.
lol, talk about being a noob.
My next big experience happened about 1 year playing and was a combination of both excitement and apprehension.
I had bought a BPC for a Hurricane thinking I would spend a few days mining to build one myself. After seeing the amount of materials needed to build it, I pretty much felt like I had wasted my ISK and was very bummed out. After mentioning it in Corp chat, one of the older players said he could help me get the minerals within 1 day for free but would need a couple of days first to set it up.
He contacts me to meet in a system and have my Hoarder ready to haul Ore. I show up in system and get invited to join fleet, my very first fleet opp. Man I didn't know what to expect. I warped into the belt to see 2 Retrievers and 6 Hulks. After being introduced to fleet members (all from different corps), the pilots then directed me on which cans to collect from.
Fleet chat was very busy, same as I was. No time for me to rest trying to empty out all those cans or to even watch the light show, which by the way was excellent, lol. I even had to ask another newer player in Corp chat to help me do the hauling. He had a Wreathe and also had never been in a fleet opp. It seemed like every time we warped into the belt, NPC's would spawn and start attacking us haulers. Of course the Mining ships would quickly unleash their Drones.
I think the whole opp only lasted a few hours, but it seemed like an eternity to us hauling. One of the Hulk Pilots had very good refining skills and did the refining for me, also told me to sell the excess to buy any minerals I was missing. I will never forget that experience, it was very exciting and new to me, a bunch of players all joined up to help out someone they didn't even know.
Later after that, probably about 6 to 9 months, I had another blood rushing heart pounding white knuckle hand shaking experience.
I had a Rapier and decided to go cloaky travel into low / null security (Great Wildlands) for a while. Going out there was no problem. After I got there, the local population noticed me and it became a problem. Basically I ended up playing cat and mouse with a bunch of Russians for 2 weeks while trying to get back to high sec. I eventually made it back, dodging warp bubbles and gate camps, logging out in safe spots, learning how to plot course and travel in 0.0, not to mention working with Dscan. The whole ordeal was a very nerve racking, constantly being hunted. Eventually they realized I was leading them further and further away from their turf and they left after leaving some Russian text in local chat.
I guess my next biggest experience was more of a WTF? feeling mixed with confusion, bewilderment and fumble syndrome.
That happened about 1 1/2 years ago in my Loki. Was multitasking in a 0.7 system scanning down exploration sites while running a radar site at the same time. Didn't notice local chat spike and due to being in 0.7, didn't really care. Had my target slots filled up with cans and shooting NPC's (plus scanning for other sites) when all of a sudden a 1/2 dozen Battleships hot drop on top of me, unload drones and proceed to attack me.
Of course I was caught offguard and totally surprised, fumbling around trying to find an object to warp to while also trying to return fire. It seemed nothing was working. Of course I forgot my target slots were already filled up plus my screen was in scanning mode. Man, talk about mass confusion. Not to mention Concord spawning and with my Overview set up to show brackets and everything while playing on a 10 year old computer, old man lag hit me hard.
Actually the whole ordeal lasted about a minute or two. Next thing I know I wake up in my Medical clone saying WTF? Turns out I was the victim of an assassination hit, paid for by a known forum troller who had decided to take our forum banter into the game, get my corpse / killmail and post it in C&P trying to extract some rage tears..
No rage tears were ever found since the whole thing happened so fast, also I barely had time to react and probably was still in shock for a couple of days afterwards. Of course my revenge was had later by another player pretending he had proof of "Rage Tears" to sell him, basically scamming him for the cost of my lost implants, a few billion ISK worth. The loss of the ship didn't really bother me since it's to be expected.
Ahhh, memories. That's what makes Eve real.

I'm not nearly as old in game as others in this thread. But i definitely have good memories so far. My first memory i love honestly was sitting in a thorax during my first wardec (then i was in a mining corp and felt good to actually be able to fight it out... In my meta fitted thorax vs hisec merc/griefers). Thankfully i had a buddy who played eve and came to help me out ingame when i started.
Day one of the war one player showed up in a Myrmidon in Algogille where we were based. I undocked my thorax after my friend lost his megathron to a .9 system sec status . With three others in incursus's (incursi?) we went after the myrmidon hoping to actually put a decent fight up (how wrong we were...)
One corpie got instapopped followed soon after by both of the others and i was sitting in my Thorax feeling helpless when a Dominix landed on me.
My buddy had called in an alliance he was friends with to help us. suddenly my damage went from half hull to full armor and my adrenaline was pumping like an insane maniac thinking i was going to actually win the fight! The myrmidon was losing armor and wasn't repper fit. he was in low armor when he chose to deagress and jump thru the gate.
Though we had lost a total of 5 incursi (i feel so pitiful when i say this now...) that day i had one of the best times in eve. It was less than a week into the game for me and i felt that because i had lasted it was a personal victory for me. We continued small skirmishes like that one for the next few hours with neither side getting anywhere. Our alliance buddies told us that the griefers were pulling out bigger guns (i believe if i remember correctly it was a falcon, drake, and a rapier) so we chose to dock up and wait the rest of the night out. The next day the alliance that helped us decced the corp and got them off our back and they retracted out.
Two months later our new reformed corp had joined said alliance where we still happily are today.
That day was the reason i got into the pew and loving every kill and loss i have in here. And before anyone says i was "converted" to PVP i wasn't at least fully. I still love my fat wallet as much as i love my hurricane, cyclone, and HACs (PS damn you CCP for killing the 425 cane coming dec 4th ) |

one of my best moment was when i was moving a pve maelstrom with a nightmare bpc in the cargohold from sansha 0.0 npc space to high sec i avoided 1 gate camp with sabre and other ships plus some enemy gangs on the way i even remember the fit was some sort of a XL tank with mwd AB 3-4 heavy neuts and WCS in all the lows, i was more afraid of the lol killmail than the value of the ship, somewhere i made it to empire just to find out all mi missioning in 0.0 screwed up all my standings in empire and there was space police all over the place trying to kill me, that was really a fun day. |

I don't think I could state 1 specific event. But here are a few of my favourites;
-Hauling everyone I own out of AAA space as our corp left the alliance. They were getting attacked by White Noise quite heavily and were not putting up any resistance so we bailed. I was using a Crane, and I got through 4 gate camps, the last one got me killed. A lot of the gate camps were huge, mostly BCs and interdictors, but the one I got caught at 1 jump from highsec was just two guys. A Dramiel and a Hound. This was relatively early on, I had only recently stopped calling myself a carebear at the time.
-I had just been killed by two guys in Loki's whilst trying to bait a Broadsword in my Stabber Fleet Issue. Turns out they Broadsword was bait and I got two Loki's uncloak on me. I got another ship, because I was FC and couldn't just close the fleet because I had lost something. Our first jump into lowsec jumped us into a gate camp with these same three guys. We lost a stealth bomber, and killed a Loki worth 2 bill. All his faction mods dropped and we got to give the whole fleet 10m each, pay for my loss and the loss of the Stealth bomber. Sweet sweet revenge.
-Every fight with my Hawk. I created a Hawk fit, and managed to kill 13 people before it got killed. Most of them were "1 vs 1s" where the other guy was too late calling his friends in. 3 of those kills were a 1 vs 1 where I killed a Thrasher, who as he died had two friends turn up, one in a harpy, the other in an interceptor. I killed both. My hawk died recently trying to kill Cyclone with a friend in an SB. That was one step too far. "In the age of information, ignorance is a choice." |

The corp leader still made me feel important as I orbited their hulks and shot down any rats that spawned. I even got a small share of the isk from the mining op. I felt like a complete boss.
My next great memory was a few months later, when I moved to 0.0 to join a RL friend, who was in a corp based in syndicate. With little knowledge about 0.0, I jumped in my rifter and started off on 20 jump fear induced seizure trip to RLL. The one thing I did know about 0.0 was never warp from gate to gate, always stop at a nearby planet to scout. Luckily I made it to RLL without being blown up.
Another few months down the road I was still in Syndicate and my corp had joined a local alliance that would sometimes see pvp action when a roaming fleet would make its way into our pocket. We received intel that a large roaming gang was making its way to our system and that we should get ready to fight. By now I had trained into a stealth bomber and was cloaked up ready to torp once the fighting started. This was my first real fleet battle. At first I stayed cloaked and watched the fight, not wanting to get drones put on me from the get go. The enemy fleet was acting somewhat strange and only warping in 6-7 ships at a time to fight us instead of their entire fleet at once. After the second wave of ships a Widow decloaked on us and out popped a handful of stealth bombers, and then the Widow recloaked. Still to this day I remember on Teamspeak our FC shouting "Keeeel the Weeeedoooow, I neeeeeed the Weeeeedooooow!" in his Greek accent. A hero intercepter burned in the direction of the Widow decloaking it and got a point. I had to warp off during the fight a few times because of incoming damage. It felt truly epic.
Other great memories have been moving into a c3 with my corp and attempting to run a radar site with a handful of t1 battleships and almost dieing. Doing hot drops and bombing runs when I was in PL. Moving into a C5.
Sadly, lately the game has become less epic for me, perhaps I have been living in wormhole space for too long, or know too much about the game to give that epic feeling.... oh god i remeber about killing a widow in RLL when i was there and i was the rifter that decloaked him and put the first tackle and the situation was pretty much the same do you have the KM somewhere? that would be epic |
