As a fairly new pilot with only 4mil SP. I have a question, when did you have the most fun in your capsule career? What would you say is the best period in your training past, or does it only keep getting better as you learn more?

A certain level of ignorance to the real danger of being ganked in low and null sec and just how easily that can be done to you - makes a lot of it really really fun at first. Until you learn then you get paranoid and it all can seem tedious musical chair like games of posturing and prodding.
Most fun lately? Losing two drakes to a tempest in low sec. We had him in to structure before we died. Was real close. Was fun because as mentioned above we had no idea how dumb it was and how likely bait it was or how likely to be hot dropped we were etc. Also we did a lot wrong; but it made it more fun figuring out what and how not to repeat the mistakes etc.

Arguably I had the most fun when i had more time to play but I remember my first time in a 0.0 alliance was a very fun time (till the luster wore off a little) .

My absolutely best time in Eve was at about 4-5m SP when I got my first yarr in a 0.4 system next to the system Ebo (think it was Tastela). Hehe, stupid slasher with rails and a cloak... he didn't stand a chance. Podded his ass too

Being serious here... when I barely had Incursus related skills to mostly 3 or 4, plus tech II blasters and just had fun taking down 0.0 gangs tackling inties who either were bad at the game or assumed I was a dumb noob.

NMTZ vs INFOD war got me hooked.
Prior to that, I didn't see what the fuss was about.
And yes, it gets better if you're reasonably patient.

The most fun I've had so far was cloaky scouting for roaming gangs in low/null.
Second most fun I've had was mining for 8 hours while chatting with corp mates and realising we were a little inebriated when we noticed our miners were putting ore in a stranger's orca's corp hangarą
It's not your character training that makes the game fun. With 4M SP you should be flying decently T1 fitted frigates or cruisers and having a ball. More SP just means bigger ships with louder bangs.
Oh, and cloaking devices and interdiction nullifiers. Yum.

The most fun exsperiense i had..Hmm.. I have to admit that when it happend it was terrefying but when it was all said and done i got a few giggles out of it.
This happend years ago (please note it was before this character was even created,that gives you an idea on timeline ) when 0.0 was still quiet enough no matter where you went that you could easely warp around using your bookmarks and watch tv at the same time,and you would only have a couple of local pirates to worry about.
Well since i was the useless noob my job was to move fuel for our POS from empire to our 0.0 system. So..as usual i set out in a mammoth,knowing that the most common local pirate was safetly docked in our hq which made it the perfect time to head out.
At this time i was for some reason convinsed that it was faster to activate the AP in midwarp,and i had missed the fact that ccp had just changed the AP.
I was almost half way when the local pirate suddenly appeared in local with me.I guess he started to chase after me shortly after i had left empire,but since i was distracted by some bad comedy on the TV i hadent payed attention. I jumped to the next system,warped to the bm,and hitt the AP and looked away. Suddenly i heard "Approaching stargate" and i look back at the screen to find my self crawling towards a gate,and the pirate warping in behind me. I hitt the afterburner and manage to jump trough the gate,and in a complete panic warp to the gate that i was aligned to (which i for some reason had bookmarks for). When i land at the gate i find my self in the middle of a gatecamp,jump trough again but a few of them chase me.
Short version...By the time i finally got to a safe spot i had gone almost 10 jumps and i found my self somewhere in syndicate,in a safe spot,with a burning ship,full of corp fuel,completely lost and sharing local with a lot of people that wanted to blow me up
I sort of paniced and yelled in corp chat and our CEO at that time,furius,told me to sitt tight and a half hour or so later he could fleet warp me to safety at our POS,intact and with all the fuel
Really its a thypical "virgin in need,and the prince coming in on a shiny horse to save her" story.After the fuel arrived safetly,i think all of us found it entertaining,and i learned to never.ever trust the AP in 0.0 again

I guess to actually answear your questions...SP dosent matter...You can have fun with 100k SP,and you can have fun with 100 mill SP. In the end it just depends on what you enjoy,and remembering those small things that makes your eve life special. As time goes by you will learn to love eve,then hate it,then you will love it again. You will rage quit when you loose a ship,and you will come crawling back the next day and think "ok i have learned my lesson". I guess what im saying is..There is no real answear to your question..Everyone will feel differently,but i think most have a ship from their noob days that they undock once in a while thinking back to when they where innocent and dident have a clue Phoibe Enterprises

Kicking Goons out of Esoteria and all the subsequent fighting a couple of years ago was great fun, working as part of a team towards a large scale goal.. But I also really like what NightCrawler 85 has been talking about. It's brought back memories of my own close sc****s with death.
I think that's probably it really, even if you don't actually achieve anything, just scraping by and staying alive against the odds often produces the most fun day-to-day moments.

Every time I get into a new ship. Even if I've flown it before, just buying a new ship and going out to pew pew or even a nicely fit ratting ship is fun. I can't wait to get into a logistic ship soon¬! ________________________________________________

Edited by: Airu Naari on 10/03/2011 10:53:39 Best fun for me was kicking a$$ in belts (Tama, Old Man Star etc.) in my thorax 6 years ago. I was quite new then but trained up some basic skills and started to love the drones. After that, had a lot of fun in Forsaken Empire fighting The Five in Tribute/Venal. We sucked a bit, at least compared to them, but I was a newb under a hugely nice impression about the whole thing. I will always remember the big fight in H-PA that consisted of ummm around 300 pilots or so back then.. it was laggy as hell I just managed to log into the game after everything was done and I was in my pod of course. Lost only a Taranis back then :D
I think Pershphanie was the FC.
Best time in EVE. Ever. Since then, RL has screwed me over.

edit: to answer OPs question i think the answer is all based on how you find the Eve you play. For example you are a new player enjoying that 'new' feeling about everything. A year down the line everything may have changed and you start to develop the 'remember when' attitude (see below!)
for me it would be when ships had half their current hp and the multispec ecm (chance based) was the midslot module of choice. At the same time low-sec was still fairly densly populated.
you could literally fly around solo and engage 3 - 5 pilots, have a really good fight and maybe walk away from it. The lower hp on ships meant you could take ships out of the mix by focusing fire and the ecm meant you could jam webbers/tacklers/incoming dps to get more from your fight.
It felt a lot more like dog-fighting and allowed for a more fun approach to pvp.
I sometimes think we should be careful what we moan about in eve in terms of asking for nerfs - even the hated warp-core stabiliser was a pvp enabler - pilots would often engage then fly off mid fight but in my opinion half a fight is better than no fight.
Many of these small things - ship hp, random ecm, stabs were pvp enablers and i think in retrospect when you consider the modern eve battlefield they allowed far more people to engage in pvp - even if their intention was to run away half way through a fight! . -IRON MIKE IS hi sec lolwarrior- |

probably (in my 6months), bein in the titan fight @ the system next to UMI-KK with PL... I **** my pants wen they warped in their T3 gang to choke us off 1 jump out. Was rather, the dogs *******s
that and roaming in PB in general, evading PL, engaging darkstar etc... pretty pimp
other than that.. probably ratting.. of griefing and possibly getting x-type hardeners from an escalation... or general pvp and can flipping.. anything u can imagine really, I only log in when there's fun to be had.. if theirs no fun, it generally causes me to turn eve off

Escaping a mOo gank with just 10% structure left. I remember having more fun in the early days of Eve, its probably down to over-familiarity with the game now.

When I came back to eve a few years back, I found myself in a player station in Deklein which was now hostile to me. I contacted a friend who had started up Homeless, a corporation with a very short blue list that roamed pure blind basing out of the Mordus station in 5zxx. The day after activating, he took a roam up to my station and escorted my hauler to 5z.
The next six months were glorious. Homeless owned the 5z area, and we did almost nightly roams of pureblind. This was before the days of jumpbridges everywhere. It was a target-rich environment, we had the NC to shoot, NC pets to shoot, as well as Triumvirate and whatever other unaligned groups wandered into pureblind. We'd get some actual stand up fights by baiting gatecamps with commandships, and occasionally some of the alliances we'd ****ed off too much would form up to fight us. We won every fight that I can recall, except for once when we made the mistake of engaging TRI in O-N and they warped an Aeon to the gate (back when motherships were very rare). We'd briefly camp EC at least every day so corpmates could get things from hisec, often we'd bookend our roams with a brief EC camp. We always got kills there. Sometimes we'd do frigate gangs all the way to northern deklein or tribute.
When we weren't roaming we could safely do lvl 4 missions in 5z for boatloads of isk. I probed the moons in the local constellation and planned out a series of towers running simple and complex reactions. For fuel we'd escort a freighter from 5z to Torrinos with our regular roams.
Eventually it came to an end. One of our local 5z partners (G Thanks Alliance) backstabbed us. After failing to kill our freighter by tipping off an enemy alliance to its location, they camped us in station and reinforced our poses with a few dreadnoughts. Without being able to undock or get our bigger ships we had our hands tied. Then our plans to counter them were leaked by another friend in our coalition (Caldari Navy Independent Reserve [CAIN]). Most of our pilots were unfamiliar with this style of warfare. We got help in the form of a battleship gang from ATF, who wanted to bring us in to supplement their pvp core. We evacuated 5z and joined ATF for a few months, and participated in the invasion of branch against Rare before ATF fell apart.
this turned into a long and boring post, but in short my time in Homeless during the 5z days was the most fun I'd had in Eve. I experienced a lot of new things in Eve with a great group of people (some I still fly with today), and the day-to-day was carefree, profitable, and there was plenty of pew-pew. EC-P8R... You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. |

There have been so many experiences in EVE which just raised my adrenaline, made me laugh or got me excited. Some of these, in no particular order:
* Getting your first battleship after spending so long saving up and training skills * Living in Curse during the height of The Five. So many random small fights as well as huge operations of taking down large starbases with Battleships only. * Warping to a belt and finding your first officer, blowign it up and then hurrying to the can while all the time checking local and hoping for a super pay day * Coming to my first Fanfest and discovering how many other players had the same excitement about EVE that I did.

I see: * Battleships and their fittings are dirt cheap because the EVE economy is buggered up by oversupply and lack of demand. So the thrill of saving up for it is gone, with not much thrill in waiting for skills to complete. * Blobbing is the order of the day (and is boring) and small gangs are hotdropped all over the place, in Curse or most everywhere else in 0.0. And sov warfare means a lot of blobbing, shooting structure and waiting for endless timers. Not a lot of thrill there left either. * Sanctums and ratting in general is just a mindless repetitive way for earning Isk and crossing fingers and toes for perhaps the chance for an officer kill through the sludge and drudgery of it all is not very thrilling either. * Fanfest is turned into a festival of spin and broken promises over the years, and the thrill of meeting guys who play the game I can do at the local wateringhole as well.
All this sounds rather like the thrills of years past. So, gramps, the question is: when was the last time you actually played this game? Do you get a lot of thrills and excitement out of moving those extractors around a little?

Honestly? The Op was asking about the most fun that people have had and, to be perfectly honest, fun is what you make of the environment you are in, how you interact with that environment and with the people who share it with you.
There are no doubt a lot of people who just love running level 4's or Incursions while others enjoy holding huge amounts of systems and massive fleet warfare. Others just like getting on EVE voice, running a mining op and chatting with their friends.
P.S, I also logged in as recently as today and I still have fun in EVE. Thanks for asking

paying a sub for a game does not equals you own the people that make/run it. Its a brave CCP employee that dares to make any kind of post round here these days and tbh posts like yours aren't making that any better.
