Actually my reaction mostly depends of what killed my ship. - if it is NPC that is't the most painful and embarassing: i lost to game mechanics.... - if it is player then: - if it is fleet op - then 'ok guyz, have fun and good luck, pod-express home and have fun somewhere else' - if it is some random encounter: - i was attacked and killed - damn, need to buy new ship. Glad i dropped all the cargo - no expensive losses in lossmail - i decided to attack and died - damn, why i ALWAYS screw all the things? Like dieing in Svipul to drones, being scrammed and never switched mode from 'speed' to 'tank'.....
In short: i don't feel much fun in killing other players unless i'm hunting for nice loot. And my main feel about losing is that i need to buy and fit new ship. Good if i already have something on hand. Bad if i need to get something to use next time.

"Derp, I did x wrong". Mostly pissy at myself for messing it up, but that goes away as soon as I reship. Then I try to not do x wrong again. |

If it's a gang-bang or lop-sided battle, I feel rage.
edit: and stay away from the Crimson Harvest sites in low sec unless you're well-prepared for PVP. Those things are magnets for gankers. |

At first I pretend like it didn't happen. Obviously the loss mails are faked by a global conspiracy to ruin me. Then I'm angry. Like green skinned rage monster angry. Then I try and bargain with the game like, "Just give me back my ship and we can still be friends." Then I get really sad, wondering if I'm just terrible at this PVP thing and maybe I should go be a miner or something. Finally, I'm just like, "Fine, whatever.", get a new ship and undock again.

I lost a Stratios to a camp thanks to a bad client and some lag which really made me mad. I've avoided camps like that numerous times but the game wasn't running right at all. At least that Stratios paid for itself numerous times.
I had some guys from a wormhole that wanted a prearranged 1v1, so I took the offer and met at the sun. His corpmates wanted to watch and ofc as soon as the fight started they dishonored the arrangement. I was only a 3 month old noob in the game and he was a 6+ year vet but I felt so cheated and stupid and the lesson apparently was 'welcome to Eve'.
Otherwise, other than the fight shakes, the adrenaline dump, shortness of breath/shallow breathing it's maybe a small fist pump when I win or a dejected 'aww' when I lose.

This pretty much sums it up for me. Sometimes I know I'm going to lose the ship (ex. RvB), so I'm prepared; however, if it's out of my control (game hang or D/C at the worst possible moment) or totally unexpected (I can take that guy... and his friends... and his friends' friends... well, sh**), then I tend to step away, because playing angry would just make me hate the game and not the situation.
Pop out to downtown pub and have lunch with an extra cider, then climb back in the saddle.
Since I make most of what I lose, sometimes I don't have an immediate replacement ship ready. That's generally a good thing in my book. Sort of a mandatory cool-down period. That's when I'll switch tracks and do some mining, check my indy, or fly some market runs.
Having options other than losing stuff makes my game play much more robust and fun.

My usual reaction to being blown up is to buy a new ship and head back to my wormhole base.

I got blown up in a needlessly expensive nightmare recently, my very first hotdrop ofc my first reaction was to destroy the cyno ship then overheat everything and start burning the Panther. Alas Neuts so that fight was lost, lesson learned. Tbh it was my fault for getting complacent.
As for reaction, Buy a new ship, and a couple of days later join some locals in a Hotdrop in a bomber |

Funny thing, I don't really react or feel much of anything best described as being aloof, I know I can replace anything I have easily because I already have another (in fact several), copies of ships, I am up to my arms in ships, but its a good thing, since I build them I have a station container with extra ships standing by to be fitted.
Anyway, aloof best described my feelings/or lack of. |

I was pretty mad last night when I lost my hurricane. I was fighting a Lachesis, Confessor and Macharial at different points. Scared off the Confessor and I think the Mach was not blue with the lach cause it ran away when the mach landed (though I was hammering it semi hard so maybe it wanted to play safe)
Either way I had a brief ~3 seconds where nothing was pointing me. I was aligned to the bottom station the whole time, so naturally I warped to the top station. RIP hurricane. Was a little mad. ~80M loss
Other hand: Jumped my dreadnaught into an insane brawl. Tanked until my shield mods burnt out. Took down 2 enemy dreads. Reshipped to a Bhaalgorn, it neuted till it died. Over 4 billion in losses and some Amarr Strategic Cruiser levels. No regrets, only smiles.
I guess if my ship does well, does epic, and I play it well enough, I'm cool wit hthe loss. When I die to something stupid I should know better of by now (but really don't)? Raaaage

I lost a jump freighter. I was sad for about a day. Then I bought another one and got over it cause i dont fly what i cant afford to lose.
The only thing i feel is remorse for having 20/20 hindsight. Its like a super power that doesnt quit.
Ive never thrown a tantrum or anything. I do roll my eyes when i see stupidity though.
Honestly, i get more upset playing Dota 2 with stupid russian retards than i do with losing expensive ships. |
