... Can't think of anytime when I was embarrassed to lose a ship..
Incredibad Judgment Loss - Typhoon v Rifter/Vagabond/Dominix. Underestimated the incoming dps by a lot. Ogre ll x 5 + a lot of other stuffs =... owch?
LOLWTFHAPPENED Loss - Just finished blowing up a Raven and a Drake after the other Drake warped out. Didn't realize my smartbomb was going. Saw that there was no wreck and no pod. Was thinking "Did I Salvage and looted already...? Wheres the pod-...oh dear." Got concorded. Smartbomb effect was turned off so I forgot I had it on. Heh.
Jaguar Versus Ishkur I was surprised out how fast my first AF got instakilled. lol

I've lost quite a few ships in the few months I've been playing. But I can't really think of any embarrassing losses. However, the one that made me LoL IRL happened to a group of pirates.
So I had just taken my Drake and warped into Onatoh. Needless to say, there were pirates on the gate. I'm looking around and wondering how I can survive. Effective EHP was 53,384 on my Drake, far below what most people would expect. After a few seconds, I resign myself to the fact I am going to need to fight two BCs and two Inties. So, I drop cloak and attempt to warp, all the while locking onto the BCs. As I drop cloak, one of the BCs points me automatically. However, the other three pirates had decided to attempt to warp scram the gate. I wasn't going down without a fight, so I started training the HAMs on the BC that was attacking me. Drones deployed, and I began to eat through him. It wasn't long before I realized it was just the two BCs against me. And my shields were holding above 60%.
The gate guns instapopped the inties, and made the other BC run off. I solo'd the BC that had aggro'd on me, along with some help from the lovely gate guns.
Remember kids, warp scramming the stargates is bad!

Ha! I have one like that. It didn't cost me a ship, but it's worth an honorable mention:
We were convoying up to null through Gallente lowsec; I was in a Drake, I think there was maybe half a dozen others. We come up on this lone red Domi just sitting at a gate. FC orders us to shoot him. Well, of course, it's a tarp. He lights a cyno and five seconds later someone's just Titan-bridged a battleship fleet on top of us.
Fortunately, they either didn't bring a bubbler or their bubbler screwed up. And flying a Drake, naturally, I wasn't called primary. But I was expecting to be tackled and killed, and I wanted to go down fighting, so I turned on all my missile launchers and ctrl-clicked the overview...and managed to click the gate.
Now I'm in a Drake and I'm aligning for warp already, so no big deal, right? The survivors from my fleet regroup, wait out our aggro, and retreat back to highsec, intending to find another route to our destination. Unfortunately, thanks to a month of Caldari mission running ( ), my standings with the Gallente had been -4.96 or something. Shooting a Gallente stargate pushed it below -5. Soon as I hit highsec I get "Danny Lonnegan, blah blah criminal, blah blah prepare to die," and I just barely panic warp out of there before getting scrammed and popped by the Gallente navy.

Autopiloting a manticore into gallante space with to low standing ended in a pop.

Finding out the hard way that war targets can also warp to fleetmember (damn, nearly had that wolf!)
Don't undock again after 30 seconds after you just been wtf-pfowned by station guns ...
Losing a retriever in a lvl 1 mission "surprise spawn" trying to mine it out.
Losing multiple covops before finding out MWD isn't a real bright plan to escape from a bubble..

This thread rocks. Here's mine..
This was when I was just moving into 0.0 space for the first time; I was bringing down my Hurricane fittings in a cloaky Mammoth (the cargo was worth 50mil, was a lot to me at the time). So I'm waiting at the HED-GP entry, with the gate selected so I can go in easily. Intel says its hot so I decide to warp back... except I hit the JUMP THROUGH button instead by mistake. F*CK!
And being such a noob I thought I could burn back to gate using an afterburner (lol). In the aching next 30 seconds I realized if I had just tried to warp away I wouldn't have gotten locked in time. As it stands I said hello to my first GTC. First thing I bought with it (besides new fittings) was a blockade runner, agility fit just to be on the safe side :) And yes, it has a MWD...

Well there was the time when as a nubblet on my first pass through RVB I decided to buy a new Brutix and the cheapest one was in the enemy HQ but I didn't notice that undocked no insta and poof brand spanking new brutix dead (oh and I'd forgot to insure it)
But I think the worse was early during my current tour in RVB I had gotten tired of being primaried right off the bat every fight so I had trained to fly amarr frigs then bought a full set of HG slaves to teach people that I wasn't worth trying to kill at the begining of the fight.
Anyway I'd put them in and went out one night had some success managed to slip out of a gatefight while barely into structure then went off to bed.
The next day I log on for an unusual (for me) time on the EU time period, Now at that time there was a certain blue pilot who'd been terrorizing a lot of the RVB newbies using nanofit faction ships and a hit and run insta pop frigs tactic.
Now I had just gotten done posting a long rant on the RVB boards about protecting pods in high sec since no podding rule or no no podding rule accidents do happen and I personally think that one should practice like you fight so you don't do something lazy and sloppy when it matters.
Anyway so this former blue had went rogue a couple days earlier going on a emo pod killing spree which was part of what had prompted my primer on not losing your pod in the first place, After we'd kicked him he then turned around and wardecced us so he could continue his fun.
So here I am with a brand new shinny set of 2bil isk implants in my head and I'd decided earlier that I was good enough to protect them so screw it lets go.
I undock and instantly alarm claxons go off denoting no armor and low structure. Oh no this isn't good.
Instead of picking my insta and getting out I think "ok I'll just wait out the timer and redock"
Unfortunately a sensor boosted cynibal has a very fast lock time poof ships gone then instead of spamming warp to a celestial I'm still pounding the dock button and the session change timer prevents me from docking up long enough for my pod to pop.
At first I'm thinking wow lost that ship as I'm staring at a pod in the hanger, then it dawns on me that this hanger bay is awfully bright and I realize that instead of docking my pod I was back in my medical clone.
Smooth move Mr lecture everyone else on how to keep your pod safe.

Was sitting with a gatecamp in my Crusader. The 0.0 system I was in had a station, so lots of non-blues were in system. Was bored so decided to check the belts. Sure enough jump to one belt and see a Muninn ratting. So I rush to scramble him, then turn of my MWD when starting to orbit thinking he won't be able to hit me and start yelling at guys on the gate to come kill him. Next thing I know I'm in structure! Turn on the MWD, but by then its too late.
It was quite embarrassing trying to answer all the "How did he manage to hit you?" questions on Vent.

Being the genius that I am I decide to fit my bestower for can flipping, including smartbombs to kill any miners that attack me. So I went out for a test run, Retriever was my first target, perfect. There were some concord in the belt from a previous suicide but they were 30km away nothing to worry about.
Flip the can and the retriever locks me up and attacks with drones, I point him and kill his drones with my 'smart'bombs. The wear down of his shields was taking longer than I thought, and he managed to get me into smartbomb range of concord.
One laughing fit, and a congrats later says I'll not do that again.

A small roaming gang and I decided to quench our thirst for blood and went out looking for trouble one day..
After a countless amount of jumps, not finding anyone else in system to 'have fun with', I got extremely excited when I jumped into this system and happened to find two hulks on scan.
We immediately shotgunned the belts and I was the first to find them with my newly fitted out hurricane. I locked them up and got my point on one of them within seconds and the next thing I knew, I took about two hits, and died.
The system was .5

The embarrassing thing here is that MWD actually IS a bright plan to escape from bubble, provided you use it well :D
Not so much an embarassing loss, rather a very unlucky one... I always pay attention when I pve, I've been in lot of 0.0 wars in both player owned space and NPC space. So something external must happen for me to lose a pve ship...
Well this time I was running anomalies in a little crowded system, sanctums/havens were busy so I tried some forsaken hub I think or something like that. Well somebody had been there before and botched the kills, so there were 2 or 3 waves of ships, mostly cruisers and frigs (I was in a raven). The moment I get tackled by no less than 3 elite frigs (with shields barely holding around 20%), a stealth bomber enters local, somehow finds exactly my anomaly (no combat probes, he had bomb launcher fitted), and bombs/torps me to hell in a couple of volleys =/

worst I ever did was take a nice, shiny brand new Obelisk into Fuelegar with the idea of packing up my carrier and moving it... no, I didn't realize at the time carriers can't be brought into empire space that way.
Mistake #2, Not checking for gate camps. As fate would have it... camped. Mistake #3, not enough funds to pay the ransom. Mistake #4, not insuring the Obelisk.
And to top it ALL off?
I'm not a new player. I started playing on day one that Eve went public. Can we say, I shoulda known better?

Oh hell, it's an interesting thread, so I guess I'll chime in.
I lost my first and thus far only astarte in syndicate a few years back. All told I had probably 300 mil in the ship (they were expensive as hell back then, so they must be really good I though). Long story short I, along with some others, engage a cerberus at short range on the station in VV-VCR. Then it gets back and everyone but me deaggroes. Why didn't I deaggro? I didn't know you could, so I was trying to kill the cerb and not doing well. I'm not sure the killmail is still out there - I haven't been able to find it.
In more recent memory, while I was running a pvp training corp in highsec, I engaged a thrasher in an arbitrator after it had chewed up our bait rifter. It should have been nice and simple, but I fumble the drones and somehow forgot thrashers shield tank, so he managed to kill me. Arbi was t1 fit and unrigged so no real pain ISK wise but I did think long and hard about whether or not I was really the right person to run a pvp training corp after that.

I think I remember that. Wasn't it right after I joined the corp then? I almost died myself at that point .
On topic, my most embarrassing loss was probably when I had burned after a Crow off a gate with his Cynabal and Falcon buddy in the system. It was my first Sabre and I caught the Crow, popped and podded him. Well, I forgot I had overheated my MWD and it continued to overheat until it burned out. I didn't realize that until the Cynabal landed and started coming after me. Whoops. I caused a corp mate to lose a Thrasher because of it also XD. <3 Captain, haha. The worst part of the whole thing? We had just popped a faction fit Rapier and we each had a Shadow Serpentis web in our cargo holds

Back when I was first starting out, I occasionally ventured into low sec to do some exploration stuff. One day I had finally found a good deadspace complex, it was a 4/10 so I decided that I would bring out my trusty harbinger for the job. I had been poking around in the area for a little bit, and the local pirates probably got suspicious. When I was jumping through low sec to get to the system with the deadspace complex, I jumped through a gate and there was a myrmidon on the other side of the gate. I don't get away quickly enough and the myrmidon tackles me. I didn't panic right away, but I knew I was in trouble if I couldn't get away somehow. I decided to engage him, which was a bad choice, and just as we start shooting each other, An aeon warps in. I literally just go.....what the ****.....I laughed so hard that I got semi-hot dropped from a super cap, which was my first real loss in PVP.

LOL can flipping
I was in a brutix and had an alt in a bestower. i flipped the can of ore and then went to bring the bestower in to ninja it. The guy i stole it from also had a bestower in system. So I warped to 0 on the can alt tabbed to my brutix saw a flashy bestower sitting there popped it, then the pod was red so i poped that aswell. feeling all proud i alt tabbed to my hauler only to see him sitting in station.
Little did i forget my alt was a spy in for a ocrp we were at war at and i popped and podded my self. That sucked.
Or the time when i was a noob in an account i forget the name to, i wanted to see what a Smart Bomb effect looked like to i was SB away when for what ever noobish reason i ejected and managed to Smart Bomb my pod, man was that bad timming.

You win so far.
I just remembered another one, not the loss of a ship, but the loss of a flight of t2 drones, which were then very expensive to me. I was having a bit of a buggy connection, and was getting irate at it, so I fiddled in my modem to see whether or not I could get a better reception, without splitter, diff cables and such. Thing was, I was in a mission, not really in any danger, but apparently there still was a spawn. I had offlined myself, and the last green square just winked out of existence when I warped back. ------------------------------------- I like to fly around and shoot stuff. |

My most embarassing loss must have been the loss of a Sader. I was in a Sosala with some friends while a Rifter popped on scan each time a militia-wartarget came into the system. I knew he came in through one gate and camped that gate with the two friends at a SS (my first and only FC experience). The gate fired, I saw him appear on local channel and as soon as I saw the flashy orange bar in my overview I locked and engaged him. I didn't really pay attention to the image of his ship which ofcourse I should and just started firing. Then suddenly I saw drones being launched and thought WTF!! Drones on a Rifter!!
Turned out he reshipped into a Cane and not even with the prupose of him ganking me. Just coincidence. We had a laugh over EVEmail as he also completely didn't expect this to happen. Oh and one of the two friends went afk as she always does and the other arrived too late as I got instapopped.
