NyteTyger Gallente NiteSun Enterprises	Posted - 2009.11.24 20:13:00 - [1] A lot of competitive players, no matter what the game, have their superstitions. Wearing 'lucky' clothes, no shaving while on a streak, etc. What are your superstitions in EVE? Personally, I never undock a ship without naming it first. Every single time I have, the ship is dead in under an hour. Every single time. So I'll name it, even if I'm just moving it to a different station to outfit it. I'll name it Transit, NOD (No Official Designation), Bertha, anything, but it's gotta say something besides NyteTyger's Velator... um, I mean Moros, yeah, that's what I meant, NyteTyger's Moros! Anyone else got one?
Benco97 Gallente Shadow Veil Industrial	Posted - 2009.11.24 20:19:00 - [2] Whenever I'm alone in local I use it to confess my sins to CCP. Not really a superstition as such but it makes me feel better
Akita T Caldari Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2009.11.24 20:21:00 - [3] Prayer to Chribba before activating a mining laser on a Veldspar 'roid. Prayer to Karttoon before undocking in a mining barge or exhumer or when anchoring a highsec POS. Prayer to the EVE RNG before activating an ECM module or delivering an invention/RE job. Prayer to the internets and their holy prophet your ISP, also to your local power company before engaging in PVP. Prayer to the time flux capacitor before posting on EVE-O forums. Prayer to your wallet before checking SiSi changes.
xXxSatsujinxXx Honour Bound Eternal Rapture	Posted - 2009.11.24 20:22:00 - [4] I don't really have any for general gameplay... But my good friend Zostera can back up the remedies found for the "jump bug" during that terrible week or so it was around... Cycle your mwd, spin the view 1.5 rotations horizontally, turn brackets off, target the gate then unlock it, stuff hamsters down your pants and spin in a circle whilst clapping your hands and then jump. Worked almost every other time.
Taedrin Gallente The Green Cross	Posted - 2009.11.24 20:34:00 - [5] Back in the day before invention, covert ops cloaks were worth about 80 million ISK. There was a superstition that the cov ops cloak would ALWAYS be destroyed with the ship. ---------- There is always a choice. The choice might not be easy, nor simple, nor the options be what you desire - but, nevertheless, the choice is there to be made.
Santiago Fahahrri Galactic Geographic	Posted - 2009.11.24 20:48:00 - [6] Not sure if I'd call them superstitions, but I also never undock a ship without naming it, and I never change a ship's name once it has been named. ~ Santiago Fahahrri Galactic Geographic
Boomershoot Caldari Suddenly Ninjas	Posted - 2009.11.24 20:51:00 - [7] Deadspace Stuff always goes Boom. And before every engagement get a spiky stressball ________________________________________ i'd gladly abuse [hr] if CCP implemented it ________________________________________
JSC	Posted - 2009.11.24 20:51:00 - [8] I always have an exotic dancer in my hold.
Plim Gallente Kobayashi Maru Experience	Posted - 2009.11.24 21:01:00 - [9] I pour a libation for the god of causal fallacies everytime I log in. Otherwise I may get bad juju. ---- Me - Plim Character. You - Non-Plim Character.
Internet Knight Amok.	Posted - 2009.11.24 21:12:00 - [10] I bring spare ozone in all of my jump-capable ships. A lot of cyno pilots are ******ed and don't bring enough for a second cyno. Stranded capitals are dead capitals. I never trade with people via right-clicking them in the Guest list or local window. Those tend to move too fast and there's a good chance of giving free stuff to the wrong person without realizing it. ---

Danton Marcellus Nebula Rasa Holdings	Posted - 2009.11.24 21:40:00 - [11] Not a superstition as such but rather a wisdom passed down through the ages; Never fly on patchday! Should/would/could have, HAVE you chav! Also Known As
Flyer11 Gallente New World Industries	Posted - 2009.11.24 22:01:00 - [12] Originally by: Taedrin Back in the day before invention, covert ops cloaks were worth about 80 million ISK. There was a superstition that the cov ops cloak would ALWAYS be destroyed with the ship. how i remember that one well --------------- [NWID] Director
Bellawulf Caldari Cryo Innovations Teutonic Guard	Posted - 2009.11.24 22:12:00 - [13] Edited by: Bellawulf on 24/11/2009 22:12:04 Originally by: JSC I always have an exotic dancer in my hold. That's not a superstition but a hidden feature. Your weapons do 20% more damage and your sheild and armour resistences get a 20% buff with an exotic dancer in your hold. "I wonder if I'll have enough time to warp out before I get CONCORDOKKENED? .... I guess not...." - me
Xonus Calimar Terra Incognita E-P-O-C-H	Posted - 2009.11.24 22:33:00 - [14] Originally by: NyteTyger I never undock a ship without naming it first. Originally by: Santiago Fahahrri ... I also never undock a ship without naming it, and I never change a ship's name once it has been named. This, all the time. Never fly an unnamed ship, IZ BADD LUK. Originally by: Benco97 Whenever I'm alone in local I use it to confess my sins to CCP. I also have fun with empty local. Although, my messages are more like "I hereby claim this system in the name of Zod. ALL HAIL." ___________________________________ My opinions may not necessarily reflect the opinions of my Corporation or Alliance.
NyteTyger Gallente NiteSun Enterprises	Posted - 2009.11.24 23:17:00 - [15] Originally by: Xonus Calimar Originally by: NyteTyger I never undock a ship without naming it first.

Glad to know it's not just me. I swear CCP has hidden some code in there that lowers your resists and gives a damage modifier to whoever is shooting you if your ship hasn't been named. __________________________________________ It's a do or die universe, so you better damn well choose between one or the other.
THE L0CK	Posted - 2009.11.24 23:20:00 - [16] I won't log in unless I use my password. I've always have been superstitious that if I try somebody else PW that I wouldn't be able to log in.
Malcanis Vanishing Point. The Initiative.	Posted - 2009.11.24 23:30:00 - [17] "If you think it's a trap, then it's a trap"
Gane Green Gallente Dominus Imperium	Posted - 2009.11.24 23:34:00 - [18] Exotic Dancers in the bay increase your chance for an officer spawn. Well it works for me I dont know about you If God was a number he would be over 9,000!!!!!!!!!
Graelyn Amarr Deus Imperiosus Acies	Posted - 2009.11.24 23:41:00 - [19] - Always name a ship before undocking. (Makes sense anyways, no sense showing your charname on a scanner) - Always keep a Pax Amarria in the hold. -------
Triple Entendre	Posted - 2009.11.24 23:49:00 - [20] Edited by: Triple Entendre on 24/11/2009 23:49:04 I always fly with a single unit of Tritanium in the hold. I don't know why. Maybe because it's shiny?

NightCrawler 85 Phoibe Enterprises	Posted - 2009.11.25 00:14:00 - [21] Never repair that structure damage..Even if its getting close to 30% now..i just KNOW the ship will blow up if i fix it...Always happend in the past.
N Ano Caldari SoonSwarm	Posted - 2009.11.25 00:25:00 - [22] On weekends I always wear my lucky hat when doing missions hat picture and when playing eve I always drink from my eve beer mug. after I named my ships I havent lost a single one Make the Beership a reality!

Now that you mention it... __________________________________________ It's a do or die universe, so you better damn well choose between one or the other.
Oscardoodle Amarr	Posted - 2009.11.25 01:10:00 - [24] I always pvp with 1 unit of quafe ultra and 1 unite of tabacco in my hold. Always.
Cat Molina Intransigent	Posted - 2009.11.25 01:17:00 - [25] My low slots must balance. Plates the center low-slot, Damage Control to the left and other module on right. Can't shake the feeling the ship feels sluggish if loaded wrong.
Nicholas Barker Black Nova Corp IT Alliance	Posted - 2009.11.25 02:04:00 - [26] Back when i used to fly rocket crows all of the time, i'd pack 2000rounds of Thorn. If i took any less i'd always run out and have to return to get more. If i took any more, i'd get blown up before having used any where near 2000. Superstitions are of course based on you noticing things, and remembering every other time it happened, and forgetting the many more times it didn't happen and making a pattern out of it in your head. But i'm pretty damn sure this happened almost all of the time. ------ back from 90day forum ban.
TimMc Gallente Brutal Deliverance Extreme Prejudice.	Posted - 2009.11.25 02:04:00 - [27] Originally by: NyteTyger Glad to know it's not just me. I swear CCP has hidden some code in there that lowers your resists and gives a damage modifier to whoever is shooting you if your ship hasn't been named. Nah. Its because pirates can either work out who you are and therefor how old your char is, or they just see it unnamed so they assume your are a noob and hunt you.
Dirk Magnum Royal Hiigaran Navy Maru Ka'ge	Posted - 2009.11.25 02:20:00 - [28] As long as I'm drunk while doing it there's nothing that doesn't feel... well, right, man. What forum is this
Minchurra Caldari Shadow Veil Industrial	Posted - 2009.11.25 03:49:00 - [29] I find myself unable to play unless all the windows on my screen are perfectly aligned with each other in a manner that is mathematically, geometrically and visually pleasing. This post has been cleared of inappropriate content.
