My dumbest thing I ever done in eve is fly 10-15 jumps in 0.0 IN POD WITH NO CLONE.
My friends where like: Don't move we'll scout you out!! I was: No i'm fine I've a bounce on every gate!... but I never know what was on other side of each 15 gates.
But I survived anyway!!

Left a rohk, buffer typhoon and a tempest in a c5 hole over Christmas. The pos was offlined and all facilities popped. Luckilly I was in my cheetah and could lead the ragtag fleet out again. We lost a carrier also and a hulk in the process. We petitioned ccp as the tower notifications never were received by any Corp member until we got back to empire (cue storm of eve mails arriving) though never got anything back for it.
Slow boated my first tempest 20 jumps before warp to zero, left it at a big gate camp on autopilot.
Took 6 months off in null security space and found our alliance had folded. 50 ish jumps to get home, got popped about 8 out.

Haha, no
In fact, it was actually a rather ingenius ploy I had devised. Putting all your eggs in one basket is a bad thing, I said to myself; so instead of putting my money in one bank, I put half my money each in two banks. I figured that if one of them went sour, I would still not have lost everything.
Which of course helped a whole lot when both banks independently went sour within the span of a single month
Admittedly though, I did not lose that much, because I did receive (and withdraw) a fair amount of interest while it was still good. Still a loss, but not enough to emorage about

Originally by: GM Homonoia I got CONCORDed by my ass.
Went on a bio break, came back, sat down on my keyboard. My ass hit the F keys, which activated my smartbomb while I was still in high sec.
This was also, incidentally, my very first ship loss ever.
That was one big ass mistake |

Giving away 95% of my ISK and selling off my assets after what I believed quitting EVE for good. That was the third break I took and was completely burnt out.
Yet here I am, 10 months later, back and stronger than ever - just a little less wealthy than before...

Was in a mishion running maelstrom in low sec, traveling back to my home system. I get chased through the gate by a drake. He puts a point and a web on me and starts firing. I don't have a point to throw at him, so I slowboat back to gate without firing back at him, thinking that my tank can take it.
I do indeed reach the gate as my cap begun to drain, I jump through and then, in haste, off to a diferent gate that lead to 0.6 system, thats where I messed up, I clicked the wrong gate, one that leads into 0.0....
I realized my mistake as soon as find my self in the 0.0 system, a camp there with about 30 frigs
I lol and start to slowboat to the gate again, 30 frigs firing on my maestrom....
I manage to reach it just in time, jump through and everything turned out better than expected actualy, still own that mael

Edited by: Larry Wickes on 22/08/2010 21:04:38 Edited by: Larry Wickes on 22/08/2010 21:00:16 One time I was missioning, it was a long time ago. My tanking skills weren't the best, however, I could do the mission if I killed the enemies fast enough. I was in a Drake. Anyway, it later came to my attention when I went to reload, that I had no ammo in my cargo bay. It was a slow death.
I used to do level 5 missions back when you could get them in high-sec. I stopped doing them long before they made them low-sec only. (Shooting a NPC carrier for 2 hours sucked, mind you I had bad skills.)
So anyway, we get this mission 30 jumps away, or, 4 jumps away if we go through low-sec. So we go through low-sec, do the mission and that's enough missions for today. I decide to return to my level 4 agent 20 odd jumps away. I hit auto pilot and walk away.
Later, I come back, my Drake is still not home. Then I notice a blinky red on the upcoming gate. I'm like wtf, and I check the system; 0.4, oh boy. I had forgotten to set my autopilot to 0.5 to 1.0 only. It's a Deimos, and I'm a little worried as to what's going to happen, at the time I had never actually engaged in pvp. He didn't engage me, perhaps he thought he'd lose. He probably wouldn't have been able to break my tank as it was passive fit for tanking level 5's, but still, he scared the hell out of me. I jumped through the next gate (He followed) and I warped off ASAP, manual until I got out of low-sec.
So, after doing missions for two years my income slowly got into the billions... Eventually I bought a full set of +5's. Then one day I had some stuff I needed to pick up at Jita. Flew there in my Crow. I autopilot there and just two jumps from Jita a friend comes over and starts talking with me. So I minimize EVE, and strangely enough we got on the topic of EVE. I exclaimed to him how awesome of a game it was. We talked for maybe 10-15 minutes, then he left. I brought EVE back up and I was in my pod in station. I learned then and there that if you're going to Jita, you better dock up ASAP, or bring a ship that's immune (Well, you know, hard) to suicide gank.
Patience is something you gotta have when playing EVE sometimes, and sometimes I don't have the patience for patience. After I moved out to 0.0 there were many things I didn't have and as I'm not a carrier pilot, and don't have cyno alts, I can't simply jump to high sec load up and jump down. So, one time there was something I wanted to pick up at Jita and bring down that would fit in my Crow's cargo hold.
I've done this before and the whooping 54 jumps there and then 54 back isn't fun, but if it's something that makes a difference in whatever I plan to do, I'll want that item before I do it. I set out on the journey. Most of 0.0 if through blue space and it's relatively safe. Then there are about 10 low-sec jumps, and 20 odd high-sec jumps.
Two jumps from high-sec I enter a system with three pirates in it. Nothing on the in gate, so the out gate is probably camped, but seeing as I'm in a Crow, they'll never get me, I'm too fast! I'll warp to 0m, jump and I'm gone, they can't possibly lock me fast enough to do anything.
I warp to the gate at 0 revealing there's a Rokh, Harby, and Drake. I come out of warp and the Rokh activates his smartbombs.
First smartbomb - There goes my Crow Second smartbomb - There goes my Pod
200mil of implants and a Crow down the drain. Ah well, I laughed it off and waited for the available carrier pilot for the stuff I wanted from Jita.
Edit; TL;DR: I've had my fair share of misfortunes, and so far, I've managed to laugh them all off.

Does any weapon do splash damage any more? Like, other than smartbombs and doomsdays.
Seriously. :(

Edited by: Djavo on 22/08/2010 22:46:33 Spent 3 Bil on a Legion and Mods, was quite happy and for some reason forgot about my sec status... jumped into a 1.0 system and then seen the warning message appear on screen, apparently I was a naughty boy and the police were going to remove me from my ship.
Was struggling to warp to a planet due to shaking like a ****ting dog... anyhoo managed to get out and then get back to the gate a 0km... FECK oops I'd warped to the gate at 15km!!! Hit the AB and set the tank running! Got out with 15% armour.
Vent was quite comical "Hmmm think I might have dropped a bol lock here chaps!" :)

After a long break from EVE logged into my character and set autopilot across highsec forgetting that he has negative security status. Came back saw he is in pod, bought new ship, rinse and repeat. In the end I lost about 4 ships before deciding to run a few missions.

Not the stupidest, but most recent (two days ago):
Few corpmates and I were testing ships on each other. Just the standard "ok, stop once my tank gets low" type of thing. We worked from BS down to frigs, and it was my Taranis against his Daredevil. I went in knowing that I was probably going to lose.
My fail: I forgot the DD was a shield tanker, and popped him near instantly once he hit armor. His fail: Using Void ammo, not realizing that it's tracking was awful. He's new to hybrids, and was wondering why he couldn't hit me, when he was doing 1700m/s, and I was barely pushing 40m/s.
Lesson learned for both of us, I guess.
