Actually, my best moments in EvE has been loggin in and having fun.
And also, not logging in because I didn't feel it was fun.
It's a game, and I play games to have fun, if I don't have fun, I don't play.
And I still play (19d to my 4:th year ::)) |

Maybe not greatest, but most satisfying. I had finally gotten into a Maelstrom, was running Level 4's, and starting to make my money back (I'd spent almost every cent on the ship and fit, like a moron). Every wreck and piece of salvage was desperately needed. I've only ever played EvE solo, so there's just my income to keep me playing. I was in a huge mission, spread all to hell and back because I was running arties and had to keep running from the rats to keep them at range (n00b).
I'm wrapping up with the last few rats, and a ninja salvager in a Probe jumps in at the entry point, far side of the mission space. This pilot had been scraping my wreck fields for a few days, and I was so unbelievably pissed at her. She wouldn't loot, just took my salvage. Salvage at that time was around half my income, and every trit bar was a treasure. I knew I couldn't shoot her down. She knew I couldn't shoot her down, and had been taunting me for days over local to that effect. I had spun my wheels in anger, but come up with no way to get back at her.
And then it hit me: she can't salvage a wreck that isn't there. I let the drones continue mopping up the rats while I soaked the damage, and I turned my guns around. I locked on to each wreck in her vicinity up to my max. She finished up with the wreck she was on and started to jet toward the next. I was patient. I even let her start her cycle. Then I sent a 1200mm artillery shell through the hull of the wreck.
She just sat there for a moment, clearly confused. Maybe she thought I was bluffing. Then she moved on to the next wreck. Cycle. Boom. She was usually very chatty in local, needling me for being such a rube, secure in her superior skills as a vulture and her protection under the law. She wasn't saying anything now. I let her get within lock range of the third wreck and blew it up before she could even cycle the Salvager. Then, in one thundering barrage, I laid waste to every other wreck within 50 km of her.
Then she lost her **** in Local. She called me insane, and told me that I was destroying my own loot in the process. Which of course I knew. I told her she wasn't going to profit off my work anymore. That I'd blow up every single wreck she tried to take from me, and damn the expense. That I was still making (admittedly ******) money off the agent bonus, and that she couldn't steal from me. So net profit for me.
She jumped out of the mission, and spent the next half hour bitching to the others in local about what a helpless plebe I was, too stupid to realize she was just taking the (according to her) worthless salvage, that good mod drops would net me plenty to make up for it. And sure, she was right in a sense. I still could have profited off anything that was in the hulls.
But the little harpy never scraped my wrecks again. I win. |

I started up a pirate corp when I was about a year old in 2007 after learning my trade from an older player. The only recruits I could get were between a month and 3 months old but I didn't care because I was a big fish in a small pond and enjoyed passing knowledge on to others.
Our play style was simple: stick to frigates and roam around low sec. Stay nimble, stay alive.
One night we formed up a roaming party heading out of Maila which consisted of 4 T1 frigates and me in an AF (think it was a Blaster Harpy).
In the first system we did the usual of warping from planet to planet scanning belts, looking for ratters but this time I kept noticing a ship that appeared to be following us. It was a Vagabond and would sometimes appear on grid, always at about 100km away from us.
I knew that Vagabonds were dangerous (they still are) but I also knew that, at the time, they were normally nano fit with no tank and speed being their main advantage. So I decided to take a risk.
I gang warped my group to the next planet at 100km instead of 0 and waited. 2 minutes later the Vagabond lands about 5km from us and gets double webbed and scrammed. He went down pretty quick after that.
In the eyes of my 3 month old team we were gods that day since a Vagabond was something most of them had never even seen, let alone killed, and I was a hero for making it happen.
That was my best moment.
The Vaga pilot actually posted into our corp forum thread the next day saying simply: "These guys know what they are doing, signed - a vaga pilot who got too cocky" |

Another good one is myself in a Jaguar and two corpmates in an Enyo and Malediction. We roamed lowsec looking for juicy targets and we came across a Fleet Issue Stabber. We followed the FI Stabber for a couple systems until he seemed to stop in this one system I can't recall the name of. The three of us split up to search for him. The Malediction pilot and myself were mid-warp when the Enyo pilot shouted at us that he found the FI Stabber and was fighting with him. By the time we finished out current warp and finished warping to the Enyo's position, he was at hull and the FI Stabber barely lost any shields. A few seconds after engaging him the Enyo popped and we were left to take down a barely scratched FI Stabber with drones out. The Malediction focused on drones while I whittled away on the FI Stabber. Slowly but surely, we managed to take him out.
As far as PvP is concerned, no ship provided more success than the Jag. Makes me wonder what I can do with the Wolf that's in station collecting dust. |

Nice!
It seems that the bigger and more expensive ships I fly the less fun I have.
Funnily enough, the vagabond is about the only "elite" ship I can think of which captures the feel of flying in cheap frigs (although with slightly higher inhibitions cos of the cost involved).
Maybe I should just join RvB and head out in a Wolf. I could afford to lose 50 of them these days.
Joining up in a specialist stealth bomber group also looks like a tremendous laugh. |

The most fun I've ever had was in a frig hull. Going from cruiser to BS caused a declination of the amount of fun I was having. Then I hopped in to a Tengu and Dramiel. Fun was revived!

Yeah, a T3 cruiser looks like it could be the most fun one can have while fully clothed.
Unfortunately I couldn't relax in a ship that represents over half my available liquid isk. Perhaps a Tengu for wormhole exploration since it can potentially pay for itself, but I'd be jumpy as hell.
For me "Elite" stops at T2. I class the top end faction and T3 ships in a theoretical "Elite +" group in my head. Still, it's always good to have something to aim for |

I was chased down by a fleet of ships on a null pocket for several jumps during my first few weeks in null; managed to do a cat and mouse game for half an hour or so, died afterwards due to bad decision making.

My also is General Goat, he kills so many I feel great love. I only new but so much fun in Eve Online. Paperknife do so many us nice fight we having great fun.
Who does think that a new corp of honourable warfighters can make big corp at 8% efficient? Papers pilots some are smacktalk and no pride but some many give us talks on how to better kill like Etymon, advice me on better blackbird flying. Now I take new skills against his pilot so we can more fun than ever. |

Baby steps...
Finishing that (censored) scanning tutorial.
Meeting that player that flips your can, pops your ship, then spends 2 hours in convo giving amazing advice to help you improve in many ways moving forward. You're still in my contacts and I still smile everytime you log in.
Meeting that person that mentors you and gives you a job that makes you feel rich as hell even though looking back it was barely anything. You, too, still make me smile when I see you log in.
That first time I clicked yes on the warning before entering a system with security below 0.5.
Actually clicking jump with the wormhole entrance targetted.
My hulk entering warp at the same time a group of catalysts is landing.
Getting all the stupid (censored) dots moving in the right directions and launching some product from the planet, finally!!!
Assuming the catalyst that snuck up on you is going to win and WTF sending drones to get vengeance...and surviving.
Those folks you still chat with even though they might now be on the other side of the verse, moving in a different direction.
Playing with people I don't know but whom can care about someone they don't know... even if they want with all their heart to blow them up. And want the game to always be getting better. RIP Vile Rat, fly "(input)".
Actually, leaving the WH entrance and wandering around to see what's in there.
Accomplishing something/anything semi-productive in the WH.
The first perfect BPO!!!
That first T2 BPC! Yes, even though your build cost is more than double what you could just buy the silly item for on the market.
Getting wardecced in an indy corp and hearing your FC say "everybody, undock, undock, align...". Win or lose, discovering that it can be fun, (edit: make that a blast).
Blowing something up.
Getting blown up, but at least getting to shoot back
And, remembering to OH so at least you used what you had.
Logging in knowing the next baby step might just be a click away...

Definitely not the greatest, but definitely memorable:
Just doing my normal thing running mission. Swept through Worlds Collide (Sansha/Angel) and started salvaging. Half way though I opened the can to the Sansha Supervisor: It held 4 True Sasha mods, 1 True Sansha crystal, and a Slave Delta implant.
Probably the luckiest loot table roll I'll ever get. |

Definitely the moment we decided to engage in QXW a couple years ago. The fight itself was fun, but the real rush is being in warp to a hostile force which is twice as big as yours with unknown capital assets backing it up and hoping you don't mess up too badly. |

Fighting 18 cruisers, a couple dictors, a few frigs in my Vindicator worth 1.7biil, and a 2.5bil clone. Killing around 10-12 ships and leaving quite happily afterwards.
Also FCing a fight we once had in Occupational Hazzard outnumbered against Rooks and Kings, which we won after a really, really tough brawl.
Also, a long time ago, solo roaming in a dual rep hyperion (no links, or scout, or implants) and fighting onyx, gila, tempest, tempest, rapier, vaga and killing rapier, tempest, gila, vaga by myself, and getting out alive :)
Also, dual rep myrm fight vs Rook, HAMdrake and Rupture (no links/scout/imps). and killing rook/rupture.
Also, Maelstrom (Single t2 XL booster) with blue pill and crystals. Vs a 10 man BC/BS Camp and killing all but one of them.
Also, jumping in a 20 man Guardian/Faction BS gang against a 40 man FA/FCON fleet, then them doubling their numbers with goons, so jumping in a solo, suicide triage nidhoggur. We all got out alive, apart from the nidhoggur,, around 25 kills, 1 loss.
Some good times, shame they were all years ago and its all bullcrap now :/ -Buhhd |

Dunno about "greatest" but certainly "luckiest"...
I was grinding away at some Sleeper sites in a Thanatos, minding my own business and spamming the scan-button like any self-respecting wormhole dweller, when I suddenly saw a capsule appear on D-scan. I immediatly warped myself to a POS, while watching d-scan fill up with various combat ships of one type or another.
I proceeded to question the practicality of scouting a wormhole with a capsule when they respectively informed me that said capsule belonged to a Helios pilot who had been moving towards me with the intention of tackling my carrier. He had, apparently, gotten caught in my smartbomb.
And that's the story of how I almost nearly lost my third Thanatos :) The take-away lesson is that long-points are your friend in Red Giant systems. |
