I've had a few so it's hard to pick just one.
I'd say the most profound was after running the first couple of tutorials (if you could call them that back then) and opening the map for the first time. Seeing the thousands of tiny dots on the screen and knowing that almost every one of them was another star system I could visit and explore was incredible to me. It's what initially hooked me on EVE at first. It blew my mind knowing there was thousands of untold possibilities out there. I had no idea how deep the rabbit hole really went.
The second came after I joined my first corp a small indy group. I joined our vent server one day after work and as I was loading up the client I was told our corp had been war decced. This was something new to all of us. We knew enough to know that there was a single war target camping the only highsec exit from our home system and a group of unaffiliated pirates were camping the other side of the lo-sec exit. The majority of the corp were trapped in system. I had logged off in my old home system and was not camped in. I quickly threw together a cruiser of such laughable fit it embarrases me to think I had actually undocked in it. I convinced a couple of my corp mates to throw together a couple of ships with guns and wait in the station until I got to the other side of the gate to see what was there. After getting 1 jump out of our home system and not seeing any war targets in local I jumped in and sprung the trap. He agressed, and my corpies were already in route to the gate. I activated every module on my ship and prayed for the best. We came out victorious, but looking back on it now had I not tossed a couple of E-WAR modules on my ship, and one of our guys had fit a warp scrambler, he would have torn us apart or escaped. Our 1 light missile cruiser and 2 frigate gang took out a Drake and we were so stoked about it. None of us knew how to properly fit a ship for PVP and none of us knew anything about Kill Mails. It was a pure "We accomplished something as a team" feeling and that memory of the initial adrenaline rush that kept us on a high for a few days. It turned out to be the CEO of the war deccing corp. He was not too happy about it.
The next one and probably the most awe inspiring was when I first moved out to 0.0. I had quit my first corp and at the sufggestion of a friend joined a corp that lived in 0.0. They were part of AXE (Axiom Alliance). After logging onto the corps vent server and chatting with them, they set up a meeting point in highsec to escort me to their home system. After meeting them and getting a crash course in fleet movements and scouting I was on my way to 0.0 for the first time. During the trip out they explained the 0.0 life and how to live there. After arriving at the nearest station with cloning facilities they explained how to set up a jump clone there and then we were off again to our home systems. Shortly after docking there my new CEO told me to undock from the station and sit outside and wait. I did, and he came out in a frigate. he burned about 20K from the undock and said "Watch this.". I saw a small orange vortex appear off his ship and what happened next still gives me the chills. A fleet of carriers began appearing all around me. Huge, hulking, behemoth ships, riding a lightning storm in space were suddenly appearing everywhere. I was amazed. I have never seen anything like it to this day in the game and I'll always remember the lightning storm effect with fond memories. Seeing 30 or more Capitol ships jump into and out of a system, "Riding the lightning", is something that every EVE player should experience at least once. CCP should never have changed that effect. I was sadly dissapointed by the change when they made it. It was one of the greatest moments I've ever had in EVE. I haven't seen the latest itteration of the cyno effect since the little bubble/wormhole effect. I'm hoping they have changed it to something just as awesome as the lightning storm. |

I don't really have a greatest moment, just a lot of really great ones. It's about time CCP stops catering to the lazy players with this sense of entitlement for fear of losing money. These aren't the people making the game better, these are the people wanting you to turn EVE in to a game that is like most other MMO's. |

Being in lowsec with an orca, jumping through and realizing there's a myrmidon behind me. He had me dead to rights, but started bumping my ship rather than attacking. I had actually loaded for tank, and was like... what?
then I realized he was holding me via ghetto bumping to keep me from warping out so buddies could arrive for the funzies.
I managed to get turned around and back through the gate before help arrived for him, and we lost a bomber to gate guns when they tried to distract him. But I made it to the gate and was from there able to escape from them.
took me two hours of being patient to get that damn tub the hell out of low safely. Its about when I wanted to start going back to pepper people with blasterfire. |

Too hard to say. There's been so many great moments. I've been privy to actions most people won't ever get to commit in their Eve lifetime. Hijacked supercaps, stole a fortune, created Eve lore on many occasions... |

Greatest moment? Too many to count. So many good friends come and gone and some I found again whom I fly with now. Eve to me is an experience I can never let go something that I can honestly say to CCP thank you. If I had to place a defining moment it would be the first time I undocked in a blaster fit Brutix and headed to low sec.
No corp, no idea what I was doing but I yearned for a good fight. I actually came across a Myrm in a belt. My heart was racing. For one split second I knew once I locked up that ship and fired my whole Eve life would change. In that moment the thrill and rush of combat pulsed through my veins as I preyed upon the weak pilot.
No CONCORD. No help. No backup. No remorse. Just the cold void of space and both of us. I locked and pointed. With jittery hands and heart racing I gunned my ship at him MWD screaming as I opened fire and let my drones loose. The pilot had to be new yet it still didn't end my heart racing as I kept eyeing local, a frantic mess as his ship slowly lurched and caught fire.
I stopped and recalled my drones. Again us in the void of space except his ship was in a smoking heap. I opened up comms with him and curtly said I'd let him go if he paid a ransom. The pilot agreed and we settled on a monumental sum of 30 million isk. Mind you this was my first bounty and as I saw my wallet flash I became addicted.
A sinster grin began to form on my lips. My heart burned for more. Lusted for excess. The thrill of battle and the rewards of culling the weak danced in my mind. As the Myrm warped away I swore to always keep my word with ransoms no matter who or what. To me it was a display of power. Power to unleash horror and power to show restraint.
It was in that moment that I got my first taste of the unknown. In that moment I became a Pirate. Today you'll see me with over 70 kills in under 3 days, billions in liquid isk, and a tenacity to take whomever and whatever to hell and back with me. You can have veiled safety in numbers. You can form pitiful alliances and hope to protect yourself. It won't do you a bit of good.
Because I'll Hoist The Colors till death and beyond. The Jolly Rodger shall fly. And you my prey shall wish you never saw the likes of me... |

My best moment was competing in the New Eden Open (Tinkerhell and the Alts vs Oxygen Isonopes). We went into that tournament with no practice at all but we were determined to win at least one match.
The reason this is my best moment even though we scraped through that match by the skin of our teeth was due to knowing that IF I messed up, I wasn't just putting a loss mail on our killboard, it was our reputation on the line aswell. There was 3000 people watching and scrutinising your every move which made it nerve wrenching. We were down on points with about 20s left and overloaded our guns just hoping and praying and killed a brutix with 5s left to make it a tie. At this point I was shaking so much from the adrenaline you could have used a seismometer near me and got a good reading. |

20-30 Stealth bombers cloaked on off a jump bridge of an enemy.
100 or so assorted subcapitals jumped into the system via the bridge, on their way to take out a number of towers that were due to come out of reinforced.
decloak, bombs away, 15 or so of the assorted subcaps warped to gate and get picked off the other side by the rest of the fleet.
Stealth bombers, best ship for padding killboards when used right ;) |

A few days ago, warped in a chimera for the first time into a fight we were down 5 ships to 0, in a 5v10+ engagement in our c4 wh. After reshipping we managed to kill one of their lokis, worth more than all 5 ships we lost, and getting everything out after the triage cycle. They had 5 logis on their side making it impossible for us to break reps after that. |

Years ago, on one probably my third trial account, I was mining in an asteroid belt and was recruited temporarily to help out a larger more organised group of miners, to whom I got talking to and started enjoying myself a bit more. About 45 minutes later, one of the combat vessel pilots began warning us that someone was watching but that there was nothing to worry about. Only moments later, an enormous ship un-cloaked about 10km away from the larger transport vessel and locked it. In what I found amazing at the time, the handful of combat ships guarding the mining party began taking combat positions and preparing for retaliation, attempting to hail the mystery ship and find out what he wanted, all the while it sat in space, aimed directly at the transporter and remaining silent. This went on for about 30 minutes, and I simply sat in awe the whole time, making sure to put the friendly ships between myself and the mystery ship. Eventually, he simply warped away, and after a few minutes of caution, everybody stood down and got back to work.
This was one of the few times I've really been involved in a random event involving many players rather than just myself, and even though nothing particularly exciting or eventful happened, I always remember this moment because it was so unscripted, and as far as I could tell, there was potential for absolutely anything to happen. I was on the edge of my seat, and it's one of the memories of EVE that always brings me back when I stray. I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. |

On this alt? Going back some years - still incredibly green. Had just skilled into a Drake in the days when gatecamping in Empire Space was common. A pair of cruisers were camping a gate, and I offfered myself up - they took the bait. One clean kill, one crippled and running. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing. |

My first successful solo nul-sec sprint: 37 hops through redspace, no idea what I was doing, just going balls-to-the-wall and relying on my reflexes - Adrenaline tricking down my spine the whole way. Since then, they've gotten much, much longer and far more ambitious.
The original point was to get over my fear of Nul by going out and probably dying there. Instead, I found a hobby and a joy. Oh, I got over my fear of Nul, too - And my fear of podding. I got over my fear of gatecamps, and of Nul-sec alliances, and of a whole lot of other silly fears.
I've done donuts around Goonstructures in VFK. I've ejected garbage on the doorstep of LAWN POS'. I've taunted TEST in Local, and giggled my way through NC space, trollolololololing the whole way. I've beaten gatecamps by folks who have no clue, and by folks whom are *very* good indeed. I've been chased, and I've been hot-dropped. I've died in many, many fires. I've had a huge amount of fun.
I am a space-troll, and I fly a tin rocket through redspace. Catch me if you can.

My first roam. The fleet was a mish mash of three interceptors and two assault frigates, and we spotted prey. I was so nervous that I made a wrong call to the roam leader and sent most of the ships to the belt I had just checked rather than saying it was clear. I arrived on top of a hurricane and a destroyer, shooting the only other guy who figured I made a bad call. I turned the destroyer into a can and made headwork on the hurricane before people warped in. The other guy chewed me out afterwards for not taking out drones - the things that were hurting him. I got both pod mails. I understood finally why people send others on the podexpress. |

I have three moments that made me fall in love with this game.
My first ever mining op in a burst (before the venture was introduced) i felt like a child among men with my corp mates having retrievers/macks. I grew attached to this corp and managed to reunite with them even after being away for a year /emotional moment when i rejoined them.
The second was being ganked during a mining op. We are just going about our business mining. our orca has just filled up and headed out. When all of a sudden 5 catalyst warp in. Next thing i know they start locking onto our fleet and see a message that says die, pirate scum! and the ships all turn red. I panic, send my drones out and fumble through my bookmarks to warp to something. At the same time im like "were is our orca!" thinking it was lost to the gank. At the end of the day i find out we lost 2 hulks and a retriever; find out that our orca warped in as the gank finished. Never felt such a rush from being ganked in any other mmo.
Third. Hauling cargo back and forth from station to station. After about the 2nd trip of being locked on by a pilot with a 20mil bounty, I hail them. I find out that they are a ganker camping the gate with tornado's(i think thats what they are called 90mil missles) and manage to get him to tell me about his operations and how he has 7 accounts and what he does with some of them, and how they are being paid by with plex. After find this out this he replies with "Now that i have told a stranger my secrets. Anything else you want to know?" I chuckled so hard to that response
edit: to the third story find out i am safe since he only attacks targets with cargohold worth more than 400mil isk. I felt like a fish swimming by a shark and expected myself to get killed just for learning his secrets lol. |

First time I went BS 1v1 in hi sec many moons ago during a war.
They undocked, I opened fire, they returned the favour and we duked it out.
In a Megathron too. I loved every minute of the ship-melting wonder :) The bottom line is that now I have one of those annoying signatures. |

My Top 3 Personal:
1) Soloing a raven while being webbed in a Taranis after sbombing 17 or so of his salvos before they removed missile collision detection.
And the countless Cruise Crows & Kestrels that watched their dps go poof in similar fashion seconds before they met the wrong end of my ion blasters.
2) Using a dual MWD Domi (back in THOSE days) to bump a low sec gate sniping Apocalypse in sentry gun range, he never got to align in time.
3) Organizing and executing a trap (Hot drop was not yet coined as a term) to kill some Russian caps coming to finish a RISE or AXE (i forget) POS. We were expecting a decent ammount of dreads, instead only some carriers showed up. With a feeling of dissapointment i sprang the trap.
Our Titan was 2 Jump legs away, to make sure that they'd feel secure if they used locators on him. He bridged the caps and they insta jumped to my cyno char. I was about to call the first carrier target when i noticed there were 2 more ships in... and one of them had a 3 letter ship type .... NYX is in! And he just got bumped on the others!!! "PUT EVERYTHING ON HIM BEFORE HE RECHARGES CAP".

I've had many great moments over the years since 2003.
From the days leading up to the launch of the GNW (Great Norther War) and the banding of a few corps. that would later become to be known as the Band of Brothers.
Taking part in the destruction of Cyvok's "Steve" Avatar, the first titan built and destroyed in EvE.
Having fleet command in Fountain and hot dropping massive amounts of dreads and carriers on top of WOTANKN's D2 Erebus titan in YZ-LQL (Second Titan to die in EvE)
Nuking the Russian Leviathan in NOL-M9 outside The Alamo piloted by Oort. (Fourth Titan to die in EvE)
Aside from the Titan kills and thousands of other fun pvp moments throughout the years, another great moment was when I had my CAOD siggy propaganda campaign published in PC gaming magazines during the days of the ASCN vs BoB war.
I came up with the idea and executed about 50+ different signatures/banners on the old EvE forums that were designed to be funny yet morale crushing for the enemy. (ASCN) This propaganda campaign was so successful that it would be written about in print and later adopted by other alliances in their wars and wars against us. (BoB)
So many other great moments, but that's all for this post....
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Titans on fire outside "The Alamo" of NOL-M9. I watched massive Super Capital fleets glitter in the dark near the BKG-Q2 gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... -á Time to die. |

By far the best one for me was when I undocked in my first battleship (megathron) and headed off to Yulai to buy fittings back in July 2004. I had like 700k SP and had mined in a thorax for over a month to get the minerals. It was insane how much harder the game was back then. ______
