EleventySix	Posted - 2011.03.10 06:52:00 - [1] 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?
Corozan Aspinall Perkone	Posted - 2011.03.10 06:58:00 - [2] 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. ---------------------------------- Want to play EVE for FREE?

Pesky LaRue Brotherhood Of Fallen Angels Etherium Cartel	Posted - 2011.03.10 07:01:00 - [3] Originally by: EleventySix when did you have the most fun in your capsule career? 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) .
Alotta Baggage Amarr Imperial Manufactorum Armada Assail	Posted - 2011.03.10 07:02:00 - [4] 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 Originally by: Valkoinen Heteromies I for one would love to be able to walk on stations and fly spaceships in the body of a little cute catgirl!
Eugenie Lefevre Gallente The Intaki Ladies Deep Space Astrogation Auxiliary	Posted - 2011.03.10 07:26:00 - [5] 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. ~ "I've been called the Women's Auxiliary of the Brat Pack."
Souvera Corvus THE PAROXYSM Session Changes	Posted - 2011.03.10 07:31:00 - [6] 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.
Mara Rinn	Posted - 2011.03.10 07:39:00 - [7] 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 hangarà 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.

NightCrawler 85 Phoibe Enterprises Peregrine Nation	Posted - 2011.03.10 09:38:00 - [8] 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 Regards, NC Phoibe Enterprises
NightCrawler 85 Phoibe Enterprises Peregrine Nation	Posted - 2011.03.10 09:44:00 - [9] 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
DonHel Gallente Kentucky Fried Capsuleer	Posted - 2011.03.10 09:46:00 - [10] NC vs BoB days * sigh *
Julius Rigel Sub-warp Racing Venture	Posted - 2011.03.10 10:25:00 - [11] That time last year when I hosted a convention and dozens of people showed up. That's why I'm doing it again!
My Postman	Posted - 2011.03.10 10:38:00 - [12] Most fun..... When a ninja looter first met my cloaked arazu. Oh and even more funny when a ninja hops into your recon part 3 mission.
Lt Angus Caldari the united Negative Ten.	Posted - 2011.03.10 10:42:00 - [13] privateer roaming in my taranis, attacking everything and hoping for the best Shhhh, Im hunting Badgers
Neamus	Posted - 2011.03.10 10:46:00 - [14] 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.
William Walker Amarr House Aratus	Posted - 2011.03.10 10:48:00 - [15] 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¬! ________________________________________________
Airu Naari The Noxious	Posted - 2011.03.10 10:51:00 - [16] 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.
Rellik B00n Lethal Death Squad	Posted - 2011.03.10 11:01:00 - [17] Edited by: Rellik B00n on 10/03/2011 11:05:04 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-

Fulmar Muse -Mostly Harmless-	Posted - 2011.03.10 11:44:00 - [19] 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 "Keep on doin what you doin, do it gud.. huuh!"

Chlamydia Di Pellagra Amarr Rookies Academy Rookie Empire	Posted - 2011.03.10 11:48:00 - [20] Edited by: Chlamydia Di Pellagra on 10/03/2011 11:50:04 Finding 4 million trit in two wrecks. Finding a True Sansha in an Asteroid belt. Being chseed down a pipe by a gang while carrying expensive bits and pieces. Listening to Goshee's made up on the spot songs. "Don't talk to me while I'm eating, your name puts me off my food."
Iceni	Posted - 2011.03.10 11:58:00 - [21] 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.
Radix Salvilines The Gummy Bears Blue Meanies	Posted - 2011.03.10 12:19:00 - [22] drunken pvp ops are always fun
Batelle do you	Posted - 2011.03.10 12:37:00 - [23] 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.
Nadine Le'Slut	Posted - 2011.03.10 12:43:00 - [24] solo roaming Cloud Ring in an Astarte few yrs ago, found a bunch of ravens in an anomaly, taking them out plus 2 drakes, 2 ewar frigs and a failrook who where cavalry in under 5 minutes without warping out, mentioned i was super loaded? those were the times. moist armpits, shaky hands and heroic posing in front of the lcd. oh, and 90% webs :(

CCP Navigator C C P C C P Alliance	Posted - 2011.03.10 13:35:00 - [25] 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.

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? Sigh ... Inappropriate signature removed. Zymurgist

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 Navigator Senior Community Representative CCP Hf, EVE Online

Lord Tempist Caldari Council of Lords	Posted - 2011.03.10 15:51:00 - [33] Chasing AAA through Catch and being chased by AAA through Catch right before they pushed IAC out of the area. Also sieging one of their POS's and then being forced to retreat before we could crack it was exciting. Total mayhem for about 24 jumps and drunk as hell the whole way. No man ever got killed by his wife while giving her a footrub. Rubbing someone elses wife's feet, well... Fill in the blank
Gungankllr Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2011.03.10 16:50:00 - [34] I have a few. 1. Before Stations were in 0.0- (Even NPC ones) We used to set up big giant secure container waypoints in space at deep safespots- and ferry ore back and forth in Badgers or Iterons to Empire space. I remember running from a m0o gang for about 20 systems in a cruiser with nothing but mining lasers on it- I had lots of bookmarks and I remember for about two and a half hours running for dear life- made it to empire safe but I can't help but think I could have had a more productive two hours if I just would have let them pod me. Then again, a 5 million isk cruiser was a way bigger deal back then. \ 2. Playing station ping pong in the South before Capital Ships existed, or POS- Just huge fleet battles shooting stations back and forth into contention... that was pretty fun for a while. 3. The serpentis Titan event about 4 years ago- Before Caps again. Getting shot in the face with a Tech II Large Railgun from a roleplaying NPC Battleship before Tech II had been released- I have the honor of being the first guy Tech II Weapon... I have to say that overall I think that "back in the day" before people became ridiculously rich and before RMT and Botting and L4 empire missions kind of skewed the market, it was a lot more fun back then because losing ships meant actual loss, and skill was way more of a determining factor than numbers when it came to winning. Fleets were WAY smaller, there was no Caps or Supercaps, and sometimes the outcome of a battle depended on the range your ammo was loaded, and what optimal you warped in ant and whatnot. Loadouts were way different too- You could have Cruise Kestrels, Torp Blackbirds and all sorts of cool variations of loadouts with missiles because they just worked on an m3 variable instead of certain launchers only being able to fire certain missiles.
Ocih Amarr The Program Controlled Chaos	Posted - 2011.03.10 17:07:00 - [35] EvE died for me after the Dominion patch. I haven't enjoyed it since. SP were never really a part of the factor. I figured out very early that nobody is invincible and SP just make you more or less colorfull in what you bring to the stage. Pre-Dominion, NRDS was a real aspect of EvE in Providence and I miss NRDS. Even now in the biggest blob of EvE and while I am loyal to NC and have no illusion they could never run anything but NBSI I miss NRDS. PvP meant more when I had to pick and choose what I shot at. I had to actually think about where I was and who was around me.
dpidcoe Gallente Cash and Cargo Liberators Incorporated	Posted - 2011.03.10 17:34:00 - [36] I had lots of fun doing highsec wardecs with a group of friends. We worked together extremely well, and had all sorts of fun going after the people who thought they were safe because they moved 20 jumps away, or fit a full rack of WCS. The three best moments I can remember are: Chasing a single person over 10+ jumps, giving up and sitting afk in the system we gave up in for a bit, then coming back to find him afk on a gate the next system over. Some wartargets who smacktalked hard as we kept ganking lone members insisted they could take us in a "fair" fight. Eventually we engaged them in their system with ~6 of us vs ~10 of them plus neutral RR. They primaried our tackle rifter, which speedtanked them for a full minute as we killed their dps ships. After we killed all of them with no losses we successfully baited and killed their neutral RR as well. Suicide ganking as a group in between wars. We'd sit the ganking and loot scooping ships in a .5 system on the jita<-->amarr route, with two people scouting for worthwhile autopiloting haulers 1 jump in opposite directions. Once we got setup we'd chat away on voice comms for a few hours and gank haulers, either until we got bored or ran out of sec status.
NinjaSpud	Posted - 2011.03.10 17:40:00 - [37] the most fun...hmmmmm getting war decked by a 1 person corp (owned by a 4 week old noobie who 'wanted to see what war was like') and seeing wich one of us could insta pop him that was a blast. But, the day I was the most excited was when I finaly stepped foot into my first command ship. I love my Absolution
Qanael Radlari Caldari Kinetic Vector	Posted - 2011.03.10 18:13:00 - [38] I think the biggest thrill for me was having command of a 100+ person fleet dropped on me after our leader got podded, since I was secondary FC. That was quite a lot of adrenaline. Flying logistics in fleet ops is also really intense.
Xolve Caldari Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2011.03.10 20:07:00 - [39] Easily the most fun was the first few days, then month of Red vs. Blue 2. Never found that magic again, even on this alt that has far more SP than my RvB main. Most fun I've had in any game ever tbh.
DigitalCommunist November Corporation	Posted - 2011.03.10 20:13:00 - [40] Hmm, doing anything for the first time tends to be fun, even if its a huge blobfest. I've managed to stay entertained for a pretty long time, so a lot of things come to mind. One that stands out is making a 2 hour trip to the ass end of Period Basis with my friend. This was long before Exodus, back during Gemini and Castor. So no instajumps/warptozero, no shortcut jumps, no smuggler gates, no warp drives, no player stations south of Gehi (Khanid). Almost no one ventured more than ten jumps in, past 1M4. We went something like 35-40 jumps and found awesome NPC spawns, fields rich with Arkonor and not a soul in sight. There weren't even any player cans on scanner to show evidence of anyone having been there before. We got a crazy idea to move the entire corp down there, set up 100+ cans and see how long we could survive in a place where you couldn't get ammo or repairs. A colossal effort. Ofc, everyone thought it was absolutely insane and didn't go for it, but the adventure was fun. I had similar fun when Apocrypha came out, because it was the first time since the first couple months of the game when you could get lost in deep space no one had been to before, and see things no one had seen before, all the while dealing with incredibly hard logistics. I think stuff like that is really what people expect when they see what the game is about but know nothing else.
Bartholomeus Crane Gallente The Crane Family	Posted - 2011.03.10 20:24:00 - [41] Originally by: CCP Navigator 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.

Thanks for asking Yeah, and the point was that you had the most fun with things that were fun several years ago. Nowadays? Not so much fun anymore. So the question was, and is, if you still log on as recently as today, and still have fun in EVE, why is that that list of most fun things you found in EVE is all about things that were exciting years ago? Why isn't there anything in there about what is supposed to be exciting and thrilling (if CCP's missives are to be believed) today, or introduced recently? Like PI? Or hell, FW (this list predates even that!)? But I guess we both know the answer to that question ... Yes, even I used to have a lot of fun in EVE, mostly with the same type of things you did, but with the lack of iteration on all those exciting things, of late, well, not so much anymore. P.S. Don't forget to say hay to my, no doubt, many fans in the office for me ... Inappropriate signature removed. Zymurgist
Terianna Eri Senex Legio Get Off My Lawn	Posted - 2011.03.10 20:53:00 - [42] Originally by: Bartholomeus Crane P.S. Don't forget to say hay to my, no doubt, many fans in the office for me ... I very much doubt anyone at CCP has even the slightest bit of concern for you, and find it humorous that you think yourself that important. Most fun Ive had in EVE was just yesterday actually roaming Cache in 2 vagabonds, trying (successfully) to peel kills out of a 15 man fleet. ________________ Originally by: CCP Incognito PS the "time to P*nis" is the shortest time recorded in human history. :)
Ana Vyr	Posted - 2011.03.10 21:10:00 - [43] For me it was exploring my first wormhole system, and then subsequently rescuing some corpmates who came in without probe launchers, and finally losing my covops on the exit to the guy who came in hunting us...I got all of them out safely though.

Daniel Whateley	Posted - 2011.03.22 10:14:00 - [46] the most fun ive had in eve was when i was a newbie player and i found a 100 mil isk implant in a level 1 mission then got scammed for the first time, but the best part of the capsuleer path is the start when you get in that ibis as a new character and its all new to you and that ibis seems awesome at taking out that random rat :) that was the most amazing moment and when a condor or merlin actually seemed like the best ship in the game and now that ive been playing for 1 year now and have 15 mil sp the first ships i had access to are the best still :)
Thirum Aninoda Gallente V I R I I Merciless.	Posted - 2011.03.22 10:22:00 - [47] Most fun moment was somehow my first solo fight i had in a low next to syndicate ... must have been a year ago. I went out with my pvp-Ishkur and roamed for about 2 hours without any targets. But suddenly i realized that i was chased by 2 Rifters, both of them with the same age as me. So i looked for a chilled and large Low 2 or 3 jumps from my position. I found Odamia and warped to a spot next to a planet that would be easily found by them. As I setup and prepared, the first Rifter jumped into the system and found me with in 2 mins. As soon i locked him, his friend jumped in. I already fired with my Blasters on the first guy and waited with the drones till the second guy came in. Drones out. Overheating weapons, hardener, repper and tracking disruptor and closing in for the first guy. As i went into structure the first popped. I switched target and wanted the second guy, but somehow i didnt realize that my Scrambler was burned out because i accidently overheated it also. As soon as he got into Armor he disengaged. My puls was somewhere around 140 and i was grinning about my first solo kill. like in reality, you are never safe ... not even in your own 4 walls
Raptor2022 Gallente	Posted - 2011.03.22 10:24:00 - [48] 3 occasions come to mind: 1) Day 1: Realizing that as an avid gamer, that I would have to really up my game to understand all the dynamics of the game (which I still don't) 2) When a buddy and I ventured in to lowsec for the first time ever in 2 cheaply fitted cookie-cutter pvp Rifters. We got an officer spawn at a belt and my mate got a Dread warp scram from the drop. It was our very first glimpse at the possibilities of lowsec. We then proceeded to get popped by a T3 that just happen to be in the same neighbourhood. We also realized the potential dangers of lowsec that day. 3) My first trip in to a WH with my Myrm. The sleepers were tough and for my mostly only lvl 3 skills (T1 armor reps at the time as well) I couldn't do much. On my way out I got shot in the face by a really really really fast Dominix who neuted the crap outa me and then chewed me up with his drones. Odd. Most of my most fun times I have had, have actually been while loosing ships. I guess it gives me something to work towards. Like "Hey! I should try that next time!" There is always something new to learn in Eve :)

Nila Talluc Minmatar New Eden Freelance Logistics Inc.	Posted - 2011.03.22 10:27:00 - [50] Originally by: Daniel Whateley the most fun ive had in eve was when i was a newbie player I have to agree there. Started back in 07 when there were no waypoints or career builders to hold your hand and lead the way, it was all new and exciting! That got to be the most memorable parts of my time in Eve. Second part got to be when I joined up with ATLAS Alliance. To get to learn the way that 0.0 warfare was handled and the constant excitement of always being on your guard made it loads of fun. -------------------------------------- It's not over until the Minmatar fire his guns.
CMD Bileena	Posted - 2011.03.22 10:43:00 - [51] I'd have to say one of my favorate fun moments thus far would be catching a corporation during a pos setup. They had just put up the tower in a class 1 wormhole. Currently only had tower, ship array, hanger and one turret which was anchored but not online. I waited until the guy doing the setup left to do a run in his hauler, then switched out to from my bomber to my Harby. I incapacitated the turret, then setup a medium bubble in the line from his pos to the wormhole he was using. Twenty minutes or so later he returns, being totally not used to wormhole space or combat he didnt check dscan (as expected) and flew straight into the warp bubble. Popped his hauler which was full of turrets and fuel. I podded him and quickly used an alt to in a Crane to pickup the loot. At about that time a corp mate was just arriving in a falcon. Over the next two hours the corp decided to send wave after wave of small groups of ships to defend their pos, each one would land in the bubble, get ECM'd by my corpie and popped by me... Was a great Sunday afternoon on Eve.
Feiryred	Posted - 2011.03.22 10:47:00 - [52] Out of a great many high points- Getting suicide ganked in my 1st rettie, then guilting the culprit into buying me a new one-even tho it was insured! (we're still mates & I even recruited him to my corp! lol) My 1st solo kill-getting jumped in my cane by 2 vagabonds-wasting one of them & putting the other one n flames, before having to run myself as I too was on fire! I was jumping up & down at that point I can tell you I was so happy! Lately-a few days ago while in a WH with some corpies & blues, 5 of us-4 bc's & 1 bs, getting jumped by a large fleet with SERIOUS firepower, getting out of the warp bubble & warping around like **** so I didn't get caught & not being able to reach the wh entrance & knowing everyone else was dead or dying & STILL making it it out alive! That was SUCH a rush! Worst moments-any time losing a ship you've worked hard for-especially the 3 bill one cries Yet other high points when you think you MIGHT lose something extremely pricy, get get away heart pounding & sweaty palms Swearing you'll never be in that position again, until you inevitably do!
Azami Nevinyrall Caldari Wolfsbrigade	Posted - 2011.03.22 10:48:00 - [53] Hydra Reloaded took over Tama, a corpie and I decided to take them on in Stealth Bombers. Needless to say we didn't last long, but we were laughing our asses off...

im mrmessy Caldari SUNDERING Goonswarm Federation	Posted - 2011.03.22 10:55:00 - [55] Most fun... probably the slosh op last weekend Originally by: Goonswarm Wiki 'slosh op' A Slosh Op is where alcohol is mainly mandatory. There are generally set rules for drinking, but common choices are for every kill, every death, ever jump past a certain distance (50AU), anything that seems like a good idea at the time. Cheap and disposable ships are a good plan, a dictor, and DPS cruisers. Also, if you have people who have insurance running out on their BS, this is a great opportunity! Of course, with alcohol around poor judgment abounds, so if you start drinking early, it's a perfect time to bring out that Navy Megathron. we went head first into a larger force of Russians after telling the NC to go away Originally by: The Mittani how could you lose a fleet to IRC
The Old Chap	Posted - 2011.03.22 11:02:00 - [56] Ahhhh the good old days... Most memorable kick was successfully running a gatecamp set up by the legendary and much feared mOo. Still get a rush when hauling in lowsec and you get multiple blinky reds straight after jumping.

Hathrul	Posted - 2011.03.22 11:29:00 - [60] some time ago me and a few corp mates decided to play a little challenge. we all got 10 million, bought ships, and went to do lowsec plexes. just to see how easily we could make money. funnily, we all bought vexors. after 2 hours and a dozen radars and low plexes, which the vexors were ideal for, we made some 90m isk, we found the jackpot, a 6/10 plex. so we happily warped 3 vexors in and started clearing the sites. checking dscan, getting the npc bs at a range youre safe at while keeping drones on them, dodging the other BS as they got into there optimal, and all the time chatting around on teamspeak. and man it was hard work. local remained empty or just passing people, so we chatted more and got more comfortable. we moved to the last room, took down most of the BS and then a harpy warped in. he locked the 1st vex while we all set our drones on him (warp out? nah. its just vexors). he took the 1st vex out, then the 2nd, and then my vex. well done him :) excellent night and it ended as it should in eve. we werent paying enough attention and died because of it :)
Hildagarde Shwarzfleisch	Posted - 2011.03.22 11:29:00 - [61] This alt joining MisterVee's bomber group in 2009 was the most fun I've had in the game. It was an opportunity to fly the ships I loved the most and did not take much SP at all to fly. Collectively, a dozen or so bombers turned battleship blobs into ash and podded most of the pilots. Since then, some groups have been able to duplicate his efforts, while many more haven't and continue to pad the killboards of their "prey"
Planetary Genocide Gallente Z3R0 RETURN MINING INC. Rura-Penthe	Posted - 2011.03.22 11:30:00 - [62] My first small gang fight. We had a gang of around 10 or so, mostly battlecruisers and cruisers (I was in a 1600mm plate Vexor), and we were in BWF camping a bubble when a hostile BC gang warped into us and lit us up. We ended up taking two losses in exchange for wiping out their entire gang and podding two of them (their entire gang includes the ones who got pods away and reshipped at a POS). Quite possibly the most fun I ever had with standard PvP. A close second would be a corp theft that I pulled that took three days and netted me 1.6bil in ships, mods, and ISK for little to no effort. It was a bit more boring listening to that idiot of a CEO and dealing with his sht so the gang fights during my time in Caldari lowsec/nearby null were probably the best. Oh, and the first time I flew a Tengu in a level 4 and destroyed the *** out of it. I've been around

Aderata Nonkin Amarr	Posted - 2011.03.22 12:11:00 - [64] It's a fun read when so many people come into this thread exaggerating about their experiences in the game.

Mordo Mordaeus	Posted - 2011.03.22 12:19:00 - [68] There are so many nice moments in EVE.. :) struggling for my first battlecruiser then loosing it to a pirate next hour.. :) first solokill of a bald but stupid pirate, highsec griefing in my rifter... 0.0 roaming in nanogangs.. take a pick! I love this game to death ;)
Benjamin Hamburg Gallente Echoes of Nowhere	Posted - 2011.03.22 12:20:00 - [69] As a new player myself, the thing I find the funniest is to kill older player... With 7 mil skillpoint, being able to kill ships that I'm not even able to fly is a unmatched feeling Yesterday, a friend and me killed an Ishtar and a Phobos while we were only in Hurricanes (this ship abuses)... this were maybe the hotest fight I had. Finnaly another Hurricane got me... Beside that, I love also purchase other players in my region of 0.0. I know the region by hearth. The funniest purchase is sadly not very glorious, but it was a Noobship that I purchase on 14 jump, passing by shortcuts that I knew and arriving before him at a gate, insta locked him with a Keres sensor boosted (near 3000mm of sensor res)... So yes, each kill that you have work for are fun, even the smallest of them.

Ryikan	Posted - 2011.03.22 12:45:00 - [73] Most fun I've had in EVE? When I played as curator for an in-house alliance tournament for my alliance. Everyone says I should apply for curator for the new Alliance Tournament IX coming up, because it sounded so legit. Also, the first time I was able to fly an Orca. I must have only been at most 2-3 months old. I couldn't even fit the ship, but damn was it awesome to fly in a ship 2-3 times bigger than all the other ships around you in a newbie mining corporation.
Ithica Nirobi Estemaire	Posted - 2011.03.22 12:51:00 - [74] the most fun in my career is happening now i thought i was having fun in high sec doing missions with corp fleets etc, But going and living in null sec is by far the most fun and has made the game much much more interesting. always heart pounding stuff happening and nothing is predictable. For those of you who have looked at the star map and wondered "whats it like all the way out there" the answer is its awesome nail biting action that never stops. (once you get over your inital fears of losing ships) but remember the key rule for null sec- ONLY FLY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE (and then replace it again to go back and kick that pirates ass who podded you) -its all happened to us
bigudukas	Posted - 2011.03.22 13:19:00 - [75] For me it was in my early days of playing, when the first time i understood that i am trustworthy player in corporation. we were living in wh (i was like 3 months old at that time). CEO and some other people helped me a lot and gave me Hulk as a present for actually achieving SP needed for it (i didnt know much about the game and wanted to become miner :D ). It always feels nice when you see that people trusts you ;)
Dalorian Rinah	Posted - 2011.03.22 13:23:00 - [76] I think my first time visiting Null was when i had the most fun. Either that or clearing for the first time, a C4 Wormhole with 3 tengus... now that was fun. I feel that your experience does get better, you just need to use your brain sometimes when your starting out. Don't take anything out of yellow cans and in Jita... don't look in local.
XFX Cookie	Posted - 2011.03.22 13:52:00 - [77] I had the most fun in the beginning, now its just long lvl4's, long skills and all that, sometimes boring, but still fun.

Shurikane	Posted - 2011.03.22 14:32:00 - [79] A few occasions come to mind! In a carebear corp, we once decided to find a hub system and rid it of all its asteroids, belt by belt. The op took roughly twenty-four hours. Miners who came in after us wondered what the hell was going on. Back during the early days of the drone regions, I joined some alliance mates into a roaming op, with nothing but an interceptor to contribute. Along the way, we found a transport ship, destroyed it, I managed to kill the pod, and then we waited for an extra inty pilot to come around and fetch the loot since the unfortunate transport ship had dropped... half a billion ISK worth of goodies. :D Drunken ice ops. 'Nuff said!
Dorian Wylde	Posted - 2011.03.22 14:34:00 - [80] Originally by: Bartholomeus Crane Originally by: CCP Navigator 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? Sigh ... For a new player, which is what he was talking about, a battleship is still expensive, and a major milestone and accomplishment. Not going to get involved in another blob whine. Bringing more people than your enemy is basic tactics. Not thrilling for you maybe. Just because you don't like something, or fail at it more likely, doesn't mean everyone feels that way. Ratting is a good source of income, and the randomness makes those of us who don't enjoy being spoonfed everything appreciate it all the more. Random is fun. Predictability is boring. Fanfest sucks for those of you who are dumb enough to go into it thinking they're going to reveal major secrets, or sign ironclad promises about what they talk about. Fanfest is about celebrating the game. If you don't enjoy the game, which your post makes clear you don't, fanfest is going to suck for you. Do the rest of us a favor and stay away, don't ruin it for the rest of us. More dev's and CM's need to post like Navigator. It's good to see what other people enjoy, despite the killjoy ******s like Bart. People like him are simply baffling, if the game is so terrible for you, stop playing, and leave the rest of us who can find enjoyment in it. We're sick of your whining.
Bruce Destro	Posted - 2011.03.22 15:24:00 - [81] when i first started playing, nobody helped me or my friend. the tutorial was lame and we skipped it. after a few months i started can flipping, following around a character named Menod Pentor. after i got bored of that me and my friend found some 0.0 with bc or the rare bs rats and had a blast making a million isk after 10 mins of fail pew pew. was great fun as we snorted powdered gatorade and about sugar-killed outselves. ( we were still in highschool)

Also, small-scale station warfare before the majority of EVE felt that the only way to play was to outnumber their opponents by 2:1, where people had the decency to not use ECM if their enemies weren't using ECM and roaming of 0.0 where a bubble wouldn't prematurely end a fun evening. Besides all of this, you just might be reading my signature.
Ammad Tankian	Posted - 2011.03.22 15:41:00 - [83] The most fun i had is a difficult question for me. I think when i first came to 0.0 at 1.5million SP with 0isk and just a poorly fit ferox to my name was actually fun. It was the unknown of 0.0 that made it fun for me, sure i lost that active tanked Ferox within a day though (yes, active tanked in a fleet fight) I would have to place it more on when we as IRC fought Razor/MH for a month up in CE. Sure i lost almost all of my ships and spent so long in the poor house afterwards, but reclaiming all those systems made it worth it in the end =) It makes victory so much sweeter when you give so much for it.

Dmw882	Posted - 2011.03.22 16:16:00 - [88] im only now approaching 6m sp but ive had fun since really early on This is pretty much how my first month or so went lol but im getting there slowly and enjoying it more and more lol :) Plodding around doing my own thing i often find a rewarding as going out with the intention of podding someone And even when i do take a step back from going off to fight a war or engage in a home defence operation to go mining or ratting its nice to see how my activity on something even as possibly boring as ice mining feeds back into the game Mine for a while...build a mach....sell mach...mach pilot goes and kills lots of npc's.......gets money...buys another ship...pods lots of ppl and i contributed

Gypsio III Dirty Filthy Perverts	Posted - 2011.03.22 16:41:00 - [91] Probably... I was following a chain of 3-4 WHs in a Proteus and Fleet Typhoon. I finally found a system with some activity, it's a Tengu sodding about at a POS. Then a Thanatos logs in at the POS too, a quick killboard check suggests that it's a lolfit. Then the Tengu warps to the star (seriously) and drops Core probes. I tackle and kill it. As it dies, the Thanatos warps in. I tackle it. A corpmate asks if anything's going on. I tell him that I have a carrier tackled 3 systems away, but he'll have to probe the entire route out! Then the Tengu pilot returns in another Tengu. This second Tengu is being RRed by the Thanatos, and I can't break it. So I switch to the Thanatos, hoping that his last carrier lossmail reflects his current fit (single rep in cataclysmic variable system, no hardeners whatsoever!). It does, and he starts dropping slowly. After a while, my Fleet Typhoon crashes and has to relog. Then a third Tengu warps in... I hold tackle on the Thanatos and, not for the first time, thank the Proteus's 94% kinetic resist. Just as I get the fleet Typhoon back on the field, my corpmate in an Abaddon, having probably set a personal record in probing speed, finds his way in, and a few seconds later we have the Thanatos and both Tengus tackled and helpless!

Sean Faust Gallente Super Batungwaa Ninja Warriors Waterboard	Posted - 2011.03.22 16:45:00 - [92] Once upon a time, NPC 0.0 was left alone by major alliances. During this time, The Curse region was the hotbed for small entities who wanted to be able to enjoy solo and small gang PvP without fear of being blobbed by 30+ man gangs. Flying around in a solo Taranis and sometimes having one or two buddies tagging along also in Interceptors or AFs was a blast. Arguably the most consistently fun activity in EVE. You had a choice of either roaming around Curse looking for fun, challenging fights, or raiding neighboring Providence (at the time, CVA controlled) for lots of lolworthy kills. The single most fun fight I had in EVE, however, was pre-nano nerf. We were living in Catch but did our ratting in neighboring regions in Immensea. Because of the Sacrilege's insanely high base resists toward explosive and kinetic, you could effectively rat vs. Angels) in a nano pvp setup. I was ratting when I see in Intel chat that a fight is going on between a small gang of blues and another gang of equal numbers (but better ships). Hostiles: 2x Falcon Astarte Typhoon Nano Sacrilege Raptor Ares Friendlies: 2x Mega Deimos Typhoon Zealot Myself (nano sacrilege) The friendlies are permajammed by their 2x falcons. I jump in to help not sure what to expect, and I decloak right on top of one of their falcons. The fight was literally happening on the gate I jumped in through. I take out their falcon immediately upon decloaking and the other one bails (for reasons I don't know), but the rest of their gang stays to fight. I ***** on the Astarte mail with a single missile volley then start chasing after the other Nano sacrilege, who is burning away from the fight. We start dogfighting each other in the middle of the action with me coming out on top. Before I can pop him, however, his buddy in the falcon decloaks and jams me, allowing him to escape in hull. The falcon then bails again and I take out the two interceptors who, for whatever reason, decide to try to web me. In the end, we lost the Deimos only. We had wiped out their entire gang except for the falcon and sacrilege that got away. And it was all because I jumped through and taken out that falcon. Ever since then I've refused to fly with blobs because nothing you get in this game can match the feeling of knowing you single handedly turned the tide of a fight, that without your presence, the fight would have gone a completely different way.

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 you didnt answer the quesion
Spit Chew	Posted - 2011.03.22 17:54:00 - [99] Most fun I ever had was living completely solo in Syndicate for about 4-5 months (two, possibly three years ago, and I was well beyond 4m sp at that point) before I was roundly throw the hell out by the locals. I had spent the previous year doing nothing but making isk while too busy irl to really pvp much. Those 4+ months were non-stop solo pvp for the sake of pvp. I lost dozens of ships, made some enemies (some of whom still hunt my main in lowsec to this day ), made a friend or two aswell. Then I ran out of isk and got really anal about being more efficient. Years later i'm still looking for that same thrill. Though I do have a blast most weekends roaming lowsec with my corp gangs (10 or so pilots generally) it's just nothing like the heart-jarring action of roaming npc 0.0 pipes and finding completely random assortments of big nullbear alliance types, juicy rats, sociopathic hunter-killers, and completely weird folks in-between. There might be a lot of issues (I attribute 90% of them to the NC, RMT, and Moon goo) with the big picture that is EVE now, but by in large it's still an amazing game. So long as you don't become completely risk averse or take it too seriously.
Orion Teller	Posted - 2011.03.22 18:40:00 - [100] I once flew a megathron through several gate camps on my first real trip through 0.0 to my first really alliance. and made it. Was the most fun I had. Was at the edge of my seat the entire time.

Posted - 2011.03.23 00:00:00 - [104] The most fun I ever had in EVE, the day I rode on my trusty drake off into the midst of a larger fleet to make that, nerve-racking first kill, excitement and adrenaline took over as I blasted my missiles at everything (including several fleet members) my day ending in a fireball of wrecks and laughs. This is the most fun I ever had, and I will never forget it. THIS IS NOW A WIDOT FAILTHREAD!
Th3 HuNt3r The Arrow Project Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2011.03.23 00:27:00 - [105] Edited by: Th3 HuNt3r on 23/03/2011 00:33:16 Edited by: Th3 HuNt3r on 23/03/2011 00:32:39 Originally by: CCP Navigator Originally by: Bartholomeus Crane Originally by: CCP Navigator 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? Sigh ... 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 lol, nice troll and on topic, mining veldspar in a badger until I could finally afford a merlin, (which took significantly longer than a friends brand new account to get into a bc :brokeneconomy:), and promptly wandering into lowsec without knowing what that ment and getting sniped by an apoc. That was the first bs I had seen, was :awesome:
APOLL0S	Posted - 2011.03.23 00:54:00 - [106] Most fun? A long time ago when GingerMagician and his band of merry men used to camp the Hagilur pocket. One of them went afk camping Rep Fleet in Arifsdald in his Thanny. I loaded up a Stabber and rammed him repeatedly until we were confident he was out of insta-dock range, and then engaged with a battleship fleet. He was bleeding into structure before his reinforcements arrived to save him. We didn't get the kill, but it was an awesome night in the pocket.

Qiel Minmatar The New Guardians of Eden	Posted - 2011.03.23 05:27:00 - [108] I think the difference in what you find fun is different as you progress. I am enjoying things I was completely incapable of at 5mil SP. I am at 20SP now and things will probably change again for me in another 10mil SP. The point is that you don't get locked into the same role that you might have been in when you first started. Things will change and as things improve over time, you'll find different experiences give you different levels of satisfaction.
v3rtigo 7552	Posted - 2011.03.23 12:33:00 - [109] When I first started, I had no idea what was going on. Learning everything, exploring the vast, cold universe and the new feeling of everything was so exiting. A bit later I would venture into lowsec, and even 0.0, in poorly fit caldari ships, just to get my ass blown up. Still pretty cool. Of course I learned quickly, and in the end got to fly with BOZO - after a short time living in Curse, our leaders decided to give our blue list (read: TCF, IAC etc) the finger. PvP awesomeness followed; coming out on top of outnumbered fights, thinking tactical and listening to blobs whine when they couldn't get us. Just returning after a 3 year break, I am crossing my fingers that I will find the same fun I had "back then" :)

With my Ceo in his munnin keeping up DPS and me doing the tackling (after our initial tackler died in a fire) he slowly drops and so does the downtime counter. We hit his stucture with barely enough time but he drops fast. CEO Overheats, I curse not having the skill. soon the counter matches the % of stucture he has left 10-9-8-7 AAAAAAAAH. and then the game blinks out. Silence and darkness.

But I had many. Like being chased by two pirates for several systems on my way from 0.0 to highsec. And I was in a noob ship only. They almost got me at one gate, killed the ship but I managed to escape in a pod to the nearest station. Fortunately it was NPC 0.0 already. I got a new noob ship there and with it attempted to sneak past them... and did it :) Regards Chryzopraz Edit: made a working link

Golar Crexis	Posted - 2011.03.23 23:05:00 - [115] The most fun I ever had was during a hisec war-dec. The war was almost over and both sides had mauled each other. We were growing tired of the neutral RR and station games and had given up hope of a decent fight. I was feeling particularly bad as all of the fighting so far had involved tech 2 cruisers, bc's and bs's (none of which I can fly well). Myself and 2 other low sp corp mates decided to go on a low-sec pvp op in destroyers with heavy alpha fits (but not quite gank). We grouped up in the enemies staging area when 2 war targets log on in assault ships. Good fights ensued and though I died early on (me being bait) I still did the most damage and kept tackle on long enough for my corpies to pop and pod the war targets. The war ended 5 hours later.
Sgt Kickass	Posted - 2011.03.24 06:52:00 - [116] Most Fun I ever had was the adrenaline rush of my first win in PVP (My Thorax beat an enemy Ruppie) Just after I swore I hated EVE and thought it was unbalanced. Second to that probably during a corp roam and perma jamming 3 ships at once with my griffin and owning the damn Ammar. XXX FTW

Warping to a gatecamp, having some idiot in a BC actually chase me breaking the line. I told my corp, told them I was 50 km from gate, he was 20 km away from me, my corp warped to 30 km of the gate right on top of him. Being bait is definately a thrill for me :) __
Lev Aeris b.b.k Fidelas Constans	Posted - 2011.03.24 14:18:00 - [120] The most fun I ever had was fighting 2 vagabonds in my eagle (Before the projectile buff, and during that golden time where invul fields were bugged with extra resists). That was the best 10 minutes I've had in this game. I lost that fight too. The eve-o experience did take a huge nose dive with dominion. I'm not sure CCP knows what the hell they are doing anymore, other than advertising and trying to get subs. Clearly they still have some cool Devs in the mix, but whoever is in the lead...fire that guy, or at least put him in the mail room where he can't do any more damage. Things do get better as you go along, but for me seeing a game consistently diminish in quality for over a year kinda took the joy out of it. Free Abathur, Draw and Quarter Nozh, or please teach him TP mechanics. ;). Trolling CCP for amateur performance on the forums, always fun.
Sidus Isaacs Gallente	Posted - 2011.03.24 15:22:00 - [121] Edited by: Sidus Isaacs on 24/03/2011 15:23:19 Originally by: Gypsio III Probably... I was following a chain of 3-4 WHs in a Proteus and Fleet Typhoon. I finally found a system with some activity, it's a Tengu sodding about at a POS. Then a Thanatos logs in at the POS too, a quick killboard check suggests that it's a lolfit. Then the Tengu warps to the star (seriously) and drops Core probes. I tackle and kill it. As it dies, the Thanatos warps in. I tackle it. A corpmate asks if anything's going on. I tell him that I have a carrier tackled 3 systems away, but he'll have to probe the entire route out! Then the Tengu pilot returns in another Tengu. This second Tengu is being RRed by the Thanatos, and I can't break it. So I switch to the Thanatos, hoping that his last carrier lossmail reflects his current fit (single rep in cataclysmic variable system, no hardeners whatsoever!). It does, and he starts dropping slowly. After a while, my Fleet Typhoon crashes and has to relog. Then a third Tengu warps in... I hold tackle on the Thanatos and, not for the first time, thank the Proteus's 94% kinetic resist. Just as I get the fleet Typhoon back on the field, my corpmate in an Abaddon, having probably set a personal record in probing speed, finds his way in, and a few seconds later we have the Thanatos and both Tengus tackled and helpless! Surely victory is ours! Alas, not quite. We see the self-destruct messages flash up, but there's too much EHP on the carrier and too much RR on the Tengus to break any in time. Three flashes light up the zodiacal dust, then all is quiet again. If you do not mind me asking, how do you fit your proteus? I have been toying with the idea of using a proteus in WH's myself to replace my current WH raider. I get a fairly decent buffer out of it, and some decent dps, but not yet decided on the best tank vs gank ratio. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://desusig.crumplecorn.com/sigs.html

I have been toying with the idea of using a proteus in WH's myself to replace my current WH raider. I get a fairly decent buffer out of it, and some decent dps, but not yet decided on the best tank vs gank ratio. It's a cloaky proby fit, so it tends to do the initial tackle. It's fit for tank because there should always be backup nearby to apply DPS, so I don't bother with damage mods. I prefer the armour resist subsystem over the armour HP one, despite the lower EHP, because it increases the effectiveness of received RR. Small nos to keep tackle up under neuts, or I have used a med nos and downgraded guns. Three-point scrambler for dealing with PI DSTs, stabbed Hulks etc. There's a strong tendency towards kinetic damage from all the Drakes and Tengus in WHs, so the SAR actually produces a respectable amount of tank against them. Depending on the amount of RR you expect to receive, you may prefer more EHP or to drop the SAR for more hardening - I've chosen a middle ground.
