Once, a station killed me. I had forgotten that the stations in NPC nullsec have guns and do not appreciate being shot. |

10 pages and going strong.
I read them all and I gotta say, some of the ones mentionned give an awful d+¬j+á vu... So here's another:
My main started a while ago going the Caldari route (Kestrel, Caracal, Drake...) until I had finally trained into an awesome ship, the Tengu. Since I played in lowsec at the time, it made sense to have a rather mobile ship instead of the CNR for my PVE. Then, once I realized this ship was great for PVP, it ended up being a running gag in my corp how I kept losing Tengus. The funny part is how every loss was quite different from the others:
1. Lost doing PVP going after L5 missioners Their Domi came back as a bait neut domi and waited at 0. - New lesson: the power of the neut Domi.
2. Lost doing 'unconsensual' PVP Getting tackled in lowsec on both sides of the gate. - New lesson: how to properly cross-tackle a target 101.
3. Lost pulling a LEEROY MMJENKINS right into a new 0.0 complex The one that escalates into 'Special Forces' in Angel space, went in thinking it can't possibly be worse than the hardest Guristas lowsec site. - New lesson: always do your PVE research.
4. Lost AFK to rats in 0.0 "... Dude, I SWEAR the tank was active before I went do my dishes quickly?" - New lesson: do not AFK. Period.
--- NOTE --- At this point, I had been basically playing the game making ISK only to spend it on my new Tengu. Number 5 is the one I purchased after selling 90% of all assets so I could continue on my Tengu journey.
5. Lost unassembled being hauled on kick-out station Literally an error causing me to buy a bunch of ammo in 4 different stations instead of Jita. The kickout station, only lowsec on that list, was the last stop before heading back home. Also the only tengu lost on Thor Kerrigan. - New lesson : kick-out stations exist.
--- NOTE --- Nickname officially acquired...
6. Lost to obvious covert cyno bait Eventually got some ISK back, this one probably has the longest survival record... started AFK cloaking and got caught, roflstomped.
7. Lost getting awoxed in highsec Seriously, after all these years playing the game it totally deserved it.
8. Still alive? Got sold eventually.
9. Still alive, purchased a new one and is now collecting dust because Ishtars
"I do want to point out one "abuse" thing I did see however. snipped
Please do not post details of possible exploits on the forums. - CCP Eterne"
... Because of Falcon.

The bad: I've purchased two Tengu hulls on separate occasions. I can't even fly a Tengu.
The good: I was patient and made a profit on each.
The ugly: I roleplay. |

So for the first few months of being in EVe i used to shield tank all my amarr ships cause when i did the tutorial, it told me to buy a shield booster, this happened all the way untill i got my first apocalypse and someone wanted to know my fit and they they told me all about how amarr should armor tank.
i also went AFK for literaly a minute in my carrier in Provi while belt ratting once to come back to have a whole fleet wailing on my , waited a full 15 + mins for a CVA fleet to come and rescue me XD. got out with the carrier intact though lesson learned :-P |

I went to amarr all excited that I had finally trained into a mining barge. I bought all kinds of stuff to fit it out, including some very expensive ORE strip mining lasers. I also bought some blingy shield modules and some other modules I needed for my other ships.
Upon undocking, instead of Insta warping like I normally do, I just started to align with my destination gate. Basically I was then insta popped and podded.
My jaw hit my keyboard when I realized I had just lost a little over 600,000,000 isk and it was nobodies fault but mine.
Monumentally embarrassed I taught myself a very valuable lesson that has left me psychotic paranoid when I travel abroad in EVE. |

Fleet was on the other side of the gate, we are in warp.
Me, "We going to camp here?" FC, "Yeah, we will hold here." Me, "Logi anchor on me." *Pulls range setting up* FC, "Everyone jump" Me thinking, "WHAT?!"
Thank goodness none of the other logi listened to me.

Had the greatest thing happen! I warped into a system and ... the station was bubbled. I couldn't enter it to help my frands!
.... BUT the reds did an amazing job tackling and killing me! I lost a 2M ISK Talwar Then I was podded into the station I was trying to reach. Undocked a logi and denied many kills! Use kill mail (w@#$%ing) drones and got 100M+ worth of kills!
All in all, never been so happy to be killed in EVE. Thanks Brave!

I accepted a duel request from the wrong guy and lost a pve fit Astarte to a tengu. We were pretty well matched tank wise until locals got involved one was getting me ecm drones and someone got exp missiles for the tengu. The tengu's help was faster.
I got my revenge by petitioning the names of the characters, his noob alt got its named changed to minmatar citizen something or other random number string. |

Fit and explosive harderner not an EM Hardener to my paladin. Derp.
Turn off a Cargo Hold expander on a T2 Industrial causing the ship to be over stuffed "for science." Do this in Thera, where warping drains your capacitor to 0. Land on station, find out I cannot dock. No real problems yet... Tornado undocks, can't cloak cause on station, can't warp cause over stuffed, can't dock cause over stuffed. Derp. Didn't even need to warp disrupt me. |

Recently bought a module for 2.5 bil in amarr to flip in jita for 4.5 bil. I got popped within 2 seconds of undocking. Funny thing is, the cargo container that the mod was in didn't drop, the only thing that made me feel better about being stupid.
few years ago, was flying an orca I couldn't afford to lose (lesson learned the hard way) on a trade route to pick up some purchased items. Ran into a gate camp that tore me to shreds. I even offered 100 mil to let me go along my way, got no mercy.
Needless to say, I stick to station trading now. I've lost too many ships hauling to do it anymore. |

When I had my first ever EVE toon I used to buy low-price ore, for re-sell, from low-security stations in a backwater constellation somewhere, and I ferried the goods, in a freighter I could in no way afford to replace, on my lonesome and without escort. I burn with shame even to this day! |

Also, got my first PvP right after saying "Hello" in WH local.
But damn, this fruit just keeps on giving. Lost procurer to dictor-assisted Ishtar SHOOTING GODDAMNED ISHTAR INSTEAD OF DICTOR. Died with fast response fleet being two jumps away, just because I considered telling about being attacked while being deep in structure. Also, lost Helios in Curse shortly after. Yes, Helios in goddamned Curse. |

I bought stupidly expensive ships that can't dock just to shoot structures at best. In fact, they spend so long logged off it's ridiculous.
My most used ships are bombers,

Losing expensive frigates to gate guns/faction police due to not paying attention to sec status/aggression timer.
Logging out in CVA space while in ratting battlecruiser, leaving game, coming back a few months later and logging in to be surrounded by bubbles and gate camps, with no sight of CVA anywhere in provi.
Losing a Legion to rats.
Failing to gank a Hulk in a Brutix. The target was not showing much in a way of sportsmanship over his victory.
As for the best, it's a draw between expensive faction drops in quick and easy exploration sites, landing right at the edge of a poorly placed bubble in a billion+ ship and making someone rage in local over spare change losses like a retriever.
Moderate strength is shown in violence, supreme strength is shown in levity.

- First 2 minutes ever in Eve, I aggro Concord in rookie ship and get blapped, and security status goes negative. Somebody in local immediately chimed in local "Dalto Bane, your blinky and bad security status already?? Impressive!!"
- I lost my first 10mil of Isk in game to a hauling scam. Well, less of a scam and more of a lack of knowledge and understanding of what a "contract" was in game. I figured the request he made that I pay him collateral for hauling MY stuff was completely on the up and up. Still don't know how I survived adolescents when this is the type of critical decision making skills I was blessed with.
- After years of playing Eve, the overview settings remain a mystery to me. All would be lost if it wasn't for Sarah Overview pack. It gets me me 98% there. I tweak the last 2% and then pat myself on the back and strut around my computer like I have decoded some ancient cryptic manuscript. Sad, but true
- I have, in past corps/alliances/fleets fit my ship and have linked to others a wrong fit if where the actual doctrine fit originated from someone who was a blow hard know-it-all or just plain annoying just to spite that person... don't judge me... cause you know the guy I'm talking about.. the one-upper, strict to form types,, always critical of any fits other than something they unicorned up despite only maybe seeing it in a twitch strwam, maybe? Not the FC but likes to bark.. oh yeah, I jacked his comps all sideways.. Armor Drakes, check.. T2 hulls with T1 guns and mods, double check... I actually think this classifies as more of a mental illness than embarrassing.
Well there more.. but that is really all I care to share without my lawyer present. o7

My first solo kill mail was solely do to the gate guns. I had 1.2 or some odd percent damage on the actual mail.
came across a really weird camp. 1x armor plate Tornado 2x kesterals 1x Arazu. the tornado red boxed me so I hit the orbit at 500 button and spin to win, I thought I was doing really good but apparently barrage in 425s doesn't track well when orbiting at 500. I got just over a percent damage in the mail the gate guns did the rest. I even forgot to launch drones.
regardless the rest of the gang did not bother following suit and stayed on gate. they never even locked me.
the gang was bickering between each other in local....... To this day I'm not sure if they all forgot what fleet chat was, had no TS, or what. but it was hilarious none the less. |

I reassigned ownership of 3 Billion ISK in assets from my last corp due to severe lack of activity. I was loyal, dedicated, active and excited... then after being virtually the only corp member on for 3 weeks I assumed ownership of the items and made use of them.
You may see this as a corp theft/heist but it was an asset reassignment.
Sorry Sory, nothing personal. Just business. |
