My first great memory was when I started the game and joined a mining corp. I had no mining skills and the only ship I could fly at the time was a rifter. The corp leader still made me feel important as I orbited their hulks and shot down any rats that spawned. I even got a small share of the isk from the mining op. I felt like a complete boss.

My next great memory was a few months later, when I moved to 0.0 to join a RL friend, who was in a corp based in syndicate. With little knowledge about 0.0, I jumped in my rifter and started off on 20 jump fear induced seizure trip to RLL. The one thing I did know about 0.0 was never warp from gate to gate, always stop at a nearby planet to scout. Luckily I made it to RLL without being blown up.

Another few months down the road I was still in Syndicate and my corp had joined a local alliance that would sometimes see pvp action when a roaming fleet would make its way into our pocket. We received intel that a large roaming gang was making its way to our system and that we should get ready to fight. By now I had trained into a stealth bomber and was cloaked up ready to torp once the fighting started. This was my first real fleet battle. At first I stayed cloaked and watched the fight, not wanting to get drones put on me from the get go. The enemy fleet was acting somewhat strange and only warping in 6-7 ships at a time to fight us instead of their entire fleet at once. After the second wave of ships a Widow decloaked on us and out popped a handful of stealth bombers, and then the Widow recloaked. Still to this day I remember on Teamspeak our FC shouting "Keeeel the Weeeedoooow, I neeeeeed the Weeeeedooooow!" in his Greek accent. A hero intercepter burned in the direction of the Widow decloaking it and got a point. I had to warp off during the fight a few times because of incoming damage. It felt truly epic.

Other great memories have been moving into a c3 with my corp and attempting to run a radar site with a handful of t1 battleships and almost dieing. Doing hot drops and bombing runs when I was in PL. Moving into a C5.

Sadly, lately the game has become less epic for me, perhaps I have been living in wormhole space for too long, or know too much about the game to give that epic feeling....
