The first day I headed into low-sec to live there permanently, I had a 4.0 sec status. The coallition we had joined reported that there were a couple of pirates hopping around the systems we laid claim to, so we headed out to fight. I think I was in a harbinger.
We never even ended up getting up to those guys. We landed on the gate two systems out, and some people jumped in, so of course we engaged. We fought them, and won in a decent fight, and then warped off to a point 200km off the gate to wait out our timers.
More people jumped in, so we jumped on top of them. This group was unrelated to the first group. As we were fighting them, a third group jumped in on the fight. I can't even tell you how long it went on, because everything just kept going.
Without killing any pods, by the end of that series of fights, I was down to 0.1 sec status. I haven't looked back at my sec status since. |

Not epic compared to most of these, but made me shake in my little newbie boots.
I was just a little nublet, had joined the game because my friend played and it looked interesting. Got into his corp/alliance and went out into 0.0; I couldn't fly anything bigger than a cruiser. Could barely even rat in the thing, would kill one rat and have to jump out.
Anyway, this took place right after the expansion that rolled out Invention, I think. I would scan down profession sites and recruit other people to clear 'em, because no way in hell I could do it in the shitfit cruiser I was flying at the time. Spent ages scanning down one particular site (anyone miss the old scanning system? Click scan and read a book for five minutes), finally pinned the thing after ages (I think it took something like five hours for me). Ask around for someone to clear the thing for me, and have one taker: the corp *******. Not only does he want to run the site in his dread (God knows why), he wants half the take for his 5 minutes of time. Any port in a storm, I accept his offer.
We get to the site, he pewpews while I float around uselessly in a Probe. A few crappy cans with nothing much to report. I open up the next-to-last can, and there's an Esoteric Ship Data Interface 4-run BPC staring back at me. Here I am, nub that doesn't even have Battlecruisers trained, and I'm staring at a blueprint that gives me a profit of ~900 million. My jaw hits the floor.
I told him the can was empty.
Later that day, I decide to fly the thing to hisec myself in my lil' Slasher. Obviously the best idea ever, carrying a bil in loot in a T1 frig in null. I nearly crapped myself when I ran that little Proto-cloak fit Slasher into a gatecamp, but I made it out alive. Barely. Docking up in hisec never felt so good. |

During the latest war for Delve: I had just signed up as a Skirmish Commander which basically gives me the tools I need to take small fleets out (Command chat etc) and I was doing secondary/backup FC for a fleet that was chasing around a mixed AAA/RA/Crappy Pets gang. They were running into fountain and we were chasing but were falling behind since we were in Drakes and they were in a much more... nimble fleet comp.
I pulled up my region jump bridge map and after a moments consulting took control of the wing of dictors that were with us and went bounding ahead of the fleet. The timing was so tight that even with our fleet coming through the JB they would still be behind, but dics could move fast. So we went bouncing ahead of the fleet and got a single jump ahead of the enemy gang and dropped bubbles all over the in gate right as they started jumping through. This action held up the enemy fleet long enough to kill about half of them before they could burn out.
The best part? In their panic they didn't manage to kill a single interdictor. |

When I first tried EvE when I was 12 .
I quit cos the interface was so damn cluttered and when I shout hello in local no one replied.
I thought the game was dead.
I returned 6 years later, now I'm hooked like a bull shark on penguins .

Back in 2008, my corp was fighting a bunch of cocky hotshots in a corporation called NQX Innovations. They thought they could ransom our corporation, and demanded 500 million ISK or they'd wardec our ass. I told them that I would not pay the ransom, and so they wardecced us. They proceeded to engage us inexpertly. We inflicted a few cruiser losses on each other, but nothing particularly interesting occured.
Then, one night, myself and two of my corpmates discovered an NQX Hyperion undocking in Villore. I was in my Maelstrom, my 2IC Sahaquiel Faust was in his Myrmidon and one of our newer Finnish pilots, Vincent Pryce, was in his Blackbird. I knew for a fact that a Hyperion wouldn't risk an engagement against a battlecruiser and a battleship with ECM on the field, so I told Vince to hold off and stay off of D-scan. I had Faust warp in and engage the Hyperion alone, knowing that assuming Faust kept transversal, it would be impossible for the Hyperion to deal enough DPS to break Faust's tank before I got on field as well. The Hyperion took the bait and engaged, but as soon as he saw my Maelstrom warp in and two-volley his remaining shields and 10% of his armour, he started running both reppers and deaggressed.
"Damnit," I said on Ventrilo. "This bastard's gonna dock up before we can kill him."
There was a moment of silence.
Suddenly, I see this in local:
Vincent Pryce > JIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Suddenly, a Blackbird drops out of warp, bounces off my top wingy bit and guns its MWD right into the Hyperion. Local fills up with Finnish swearwords as Vince starts repeatedly ramming the Hyperion - and the Hyperion takes the bait. Vince has intentionally not engaged any of his ECM, and the Hyperion starts shooting at him. Being a Blackbird, his shields and armour crumple like paper, but the Hyperion's re-aggressed.
Faust and I had terrible Thermodynamics skills at that point so we burnt out our entire hi-racks in the process, but we killed the Hyperion, and all for the cost of a single badfit Blackbird.
Someday I want to meet that Hyperion pilot again and ask him if it was worth it.

My best moment was my first fleet flight in 2003. There must have been maybe 50 people on each side. We routed the enemy in U-QVWD. I remember the FC calling targets, I remember praying I wouldn't lose my battleship, and the thrill of victory.
People say you shouldn't fly or pvp with what you cant afford to lose - thats true, but the best thrills in this game come from fighting in a ship you can't afford to lose! |

In a previous incarnation, just after the ORCA had been released, I used to steal them.
ORCA pilots (some, at least) in those days were still either unsure or conveniently dense on the issue of getting out of their ORCA to unhitch their HULK and then go solo mining.
The obvious details obviously eluded some of these clever individuals. Specifically, the matter of if they could get out OUT of their Orca then someone else could get IN.
Five or six Orca later, each bucket of tears and nastygram was as juicy and glorious as the first.
