My Alliance had War DecÆed Privateer Alliance (they had also War DecÆed BOB, but it turns out that high sec BOB pilots arenÆt very aggressive). So, it was the second time that a Privateer Alliance gate camp had destroyed my Drake and podded me. I wake up in a clone vat in Pator, 8 jumps away. My CEO is trying to explain to me on Vent how to select something in space and be alined to warp out in my POD when my ship blows up. (I had been trying to do this on my overview, but it always got reshuffled when my ship blew up, so I have repeatedly failed to warp out.) I canÆt visualize what he is trying to explain so I take a shuttle outside to experiment. A Privateer Alliance pilot in local decided to come help me practice.
The epic part of the fail, was that with the shock of getting podded and while trying to understand the advice my CEO was giving me, I forgot to upgrade my clone. While I did finally figure out what my CEO was telling me, I did not quite pull off the warp out in my POD part. So two POD deaths in 5 minutes with no clone upgrade.
The best part is that when I realized what had happened I was still under the impressions that this would drop me back to 900K skill points. It felt like the bottom had fallen out of my stomach, but it turned out to not be as bad as I thought.

My Ex-CEO did a big boo-boo.
Sylic was moving all the corp blueprints in his Cerebus when our new alliance had a call for more pilots to fight a roaming gang. He diverted and of course got popped.
Enemy FC actually congratulated him on supplying his entire corp with all the BPO's he'd ever need.

I was the privateer in this post. You undocked past me (didn't you realize?) and warped to the gate. I landed on the gate after you and saw the shuttle sitting at zero, not jumping nor moving, so eventually I shot.
Sorry about the lost SP, tho.

I was still new at te time. But I was in a Dominix, and i still didn't understand sertin mechanics at the time.
So I was in my Dominix, and I was ratting. I was in Wepra and they had just built me the Dominix and had talked about building one for me for quite some time back then. When it was given to me it was named ( From Wepra To Lusian ). They wanted me to use it and learn to use a Battleship even though my skills and experience was very poor.
I was ratting in it for the 4th day. I had just seen a Toxin pilot enter the system. I had little time and I had to get out of the belt. I was not sure which gate they came out of. I had barely warped out of the belt and the Toxin Interceptor almost locked and tackled me.
As I got to 15 Km which was standerd at the time befor the patch with the 0km feature came out. We had to make out own bookmars for that. I was about 8km when the neutral Toxin's cronies enterd the system right on top of me. I tried to get away but I was finished befor the fight even began.
I wish I hadn't lost that ship. That one ment more to me then all the other ships I have bought or built.
one of my most epic fails.

Edited by: Mister Xerox on 06/12/2008 23:02:06 Get a reletively tough 'warp in on top of mob' mission I figure I can tank effectively with my nightmare.
Undock, initiate warp, land on the mob, and DSL dies for 6 hours for 'maintinance if the DSLAM'.
Log back in to find myself sitting there in my pod, no wreck to rescue. OFC CCP won't reimburse shiplosses do to network outage.
Another: 37 in local in a 0.0 system. 1 Hostile enters and I warp to the station and wait. Hostile BS comes to the station and I engage it, letting everyone know what it was (I'm in a ratting Raven, he's in a Megathron).
No one undocks, 5 warp to the station in various BS and dock.
I die, enemy salvages, hangs around chatting with me for like 20 mins, and leaves.
I joined his corp a week later... and have much more fun.

My time in Faction Warfare:
I joined the gallente militia. I slapped together an incursus for about 200k (fail), because i didn't really care. I go to militia channel, join a gang on their way to do something, i never quite got what our goal was (fail). About 10 minutes after i undock I am at Old man star, which turns out to be the wrong system (massive fail). I had warped to some control bunker thing, where i proceded to be blown up by a pirate, who also was in a frig, in less than 5 seconds (fail), and podded (which was also the first time i got podded, lol). At the clone station, i quit the militia after my colorful military career of 1 and a half hour, 1 hour of which was spent docked at ours (fail). I then ofc realized that getting podded cost me my +3 implant set, notable because i got the whole set for a mere 18 mil (fail).
Lets count that, shall we? ... That's 6 fails in less than 2 hours. Top that. --- Player Deadspace: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=940302 Multiplayer missions: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=944091 |

My first time flying an Inty, decided I would go find someone to kill.
Jump into a system, I see an Iteron 5 slowboating to the gate.
MWD rush him, scram, F1-F4 suddenly I see my shields go empty, had just enough time to think "oh schit" as the gate guns owned me.
Thought I was in 0.0 it turned out to be a lowsec system. ---

My biggest epic fail to date: I was buying implants for my miner toon. I checked market price convinced the price I was seeing for +3's was cheaper than in the LP store. I thought cool, cheaper and I don't have to spend the points. Just prior to buying them I was looking at the plants in the LP store but was looking at the wrong ones. I didn't bother to look at the info to double check that the 12 million/12k LP was for +3 implants (it is for the +4) and was convinced that price was for the +3's. So I bought +3's on the market under assumption that the LP price of +4's was for +3's. I ended up spending quite a bit more than I should have for a full set of +3's. It didn't break me but it's still epic fail for having had the LP store open just a minute prior to selecting "buy this".
Lesson: Never ass'u'me... And when all the numbers and figures start getting you cross eyed, don't buy anything.

I was at NOL-M9 fighting in a war against BoB. While in a POS with local heavy in our favor i noticed some tech 2 medium drones being left outside the POS shield. Since i had lost my drones in a previous engagment i mwded outside the POS shield thinking "what the hell, noone will notice this. I managed to gather 4 drones and at that moment it passed through my mind that i shouldn't remain out there for too long just in case.... And if i had returned at that exact moment back i would have survived. But well, i went greedy, i wanted that one last drone and by the time i gathered it a Rapier uncloacked somewhere near me i hit the mwd immediatly back to the POS (i was only 10km away) and sent some drones at him....then more ships appeared above me and in a few seconds i was back in the reviving station feeling the greatest idiot of all time.
Earlier the same day i had a quarrel with some people in my corp about a fitting matter and i was told i was a noob i and i shouldn't be insisting on what i was claiming to be truth (for history i was right-they were wrong but they were the elders i was the noob so they insisted i should shut up) . With the death i had in the manner i died i felt really really bad and that for certain these guys now would tease me even worse that before. We generally didn't get along and for my bad luck they happened to be key elements in the corp.
At that exact moment i felt really angered at them at my luck and at the way i died and at that exact moment i realised i will never be really a part of this corp. For them i would be always the noob the idiot the one that keeps failing and they would tease me more and more. So at that exact moment i decided to abandon the corp but i wouldn't just leave like that. So i decided to make them remember me for good so i went in the corp wallet and took 700millions went to the main corp hangers and took everything BPOS capital ships freighters while i spend about 1 hour converting all the corp orders as my orders.
Then i went to sleep feeling the adrenaline pumping high. I knew i was at point of non return... But i couldn't sleep i kept thinking the last days events over and over and i realised at that point that i wanted to punish them but not destroy them completly so i went back spend another hour converting the sales back as corp sales i returned all the assets back to the corp and since i was feeling really tired and disgused with the game and it's people at that exact moment i took the decision to quit alltogether so i put all my stuff as well into the corp hangar and into a division i hadn't the rights to get them back.
I went for sleep rather relieved but the next morning i realised i had forgotten to give back the cash i had taken as well. But by the next morning i no longer wanted to quit the game anyway. So as everyone was furious at me already i decided to just keep the money and start over a new life in empire raise my skills and decide what to do after that...
Of course after all that had happened that day and due to my rather bad relations with the guys what remained was that i had made a corp theft and that i had taken 700millions no matter that i had left assets of more value in corp.
Many months passed i went to empire and made some money tried some ships experimented with more fits etc but alwyas in the back of my head there was this sum i had taken and that nothing would be really over until this matter was settled. So about 1 month ago i convoed my ex CEO and i gave the corp 800M so in fact 700M plus 100M interest) . I knew they would still hate me abyssmally all the same but i did it for myself. I just couldn't live with the weight of that theft no matter what assets i had left. After all it was a trade off they hadn't been asked about.
Well, i am still here hated and notorious but at least i made peace with myself. For all these reasons i think i should win the prize of the most epic fail in achain of actions in the game |

I popped a pod in low sec, panicked, and warped to a station and promptly lost the ship I used.
At least the corpse survived.
Too bad I had to travel 20 km in a noobship while getting stuck on the station to scoop it again.

We had xenobytes in local, lead by the infamous creamster. Me and dev planned a setup to kill creamster in his cloaking hictor. We would force him to cloak at 150km from the gate by graduatly blobing his guys at the gate, and that worked fine, but for some reason I fail at decloaking him in my rapier even tho i was moving straight towards him when he cloaked at 7500m from me..
that was epic fail from my part lol, i was so ****ed at myself the entire day

Almost, almost had one of these today.
Was out roaming around Black Rise for a few hours this morning having arrived home from work (nightshift ftl). Running around fairly tired.
Ran into a Drake which had just aggroed in lowsec, pop it went. Onto the next system.
Few systems down the line I aggress a negsec Cerberus. He jumps, so I go to station, await out aggression.
Looked at the map, set autopilot for my next destination. 7j through hisec.
Jumped into Orvolle...

Balls. I'm flying a fairly expensive Nightmare, totally forgetting that, since my very brief stint in Factional Warfare, the Gallente don't exactly like me.
Warp to station, dock up. Look at the map, thinking that it's best to go back through the lowsec route.
Undocked, get booted out of docking range by the station. Pounced on by the Navy, who web the hell out of me.
Aligning... aligning.. ali... in warp!
Alt-tab to second alt briefly to check the other side of the outbound gate. Alt-tab back as I'm starting to drop out of warp.
Something's not quite right... The system name of the system I'm supposed to be going to, isn't the gate I'm dropping out of warp at. Balls again!
Immediately get webbed to hell by the Gallente Navy, who for some reason don't scramble me as I turn around and warp back to the low-sec entrance.
Nice adrenaline rush, but don't particularly want to do that again. :)
