hiya all, i wanted to post something, but i couldnt think of any good ideas, so i just thought i'd start a thread asking, what things have you done lately that have made you glad you play eve?
i've just mostly been doing missions while i build up my skills, i've found that i really need to make my ship tougher, it gets killed way too easily, so i'm working on engineering skills, but that's not all that fun :P
the most fun thing i've done for a while was heading down to thelan to grab my torpedos, lately, a bunch of pirates have been hanging around criliere, i thought they wouldnt attack me anymore, because i had a nice chat with them the first time, and they let me through, but once on a torpedo run, rastalin highcort, one of the pirates, locks onto me, just before i can warp, i jump to the next system, my heart is racing, i'm all nervous, it felt so good, i love facing other players.
so, in this new system there's just one guy, someone called lynal bother i thought of warning him about the pirate chasing me, but decided against it, because i was probably just being paranoid, so i warp to the next gate, and while i'm headed for it, lynal warps in right behind me, webifies me, and starts firing, and sends drones after me.
but, unfortunately for him, this was all in range of the sentry guns, so they lay into his tempest, and i lock on and start all 6 siege launchers firing torps at him, and in a few seconds, he begins to warp, then BOOM, we sunk his battleship, rastalin, who had just warped in, sits there, watching me fly towards the gate, not wanting to share the fate that befell lynal.
so i made it back to suroken with a full hold of torpedos, and feeling so proud of myself to survive a pvp encounter for the first time :D
so, tell us your stories of the stuff you've done lately that's made you glad to be playing eve :)
I like drawing

I think there is going to be a large number of people who will have to say things like
"lost job"
"divorced wife"
"grew potbelly"
"lost social skills"

I recently... spent an hour charging a station.
Eh. Well, it's not really one specific thing, it's just working with my corp, going out in gangs, having fun PvPing. Sometimes we do boring things like charging stations, sometimes we throw a few cruisers together and go on raids, sometimes we have to put a fleet together. I quite like it.

I jammed a raven with a single White Noise Generator.
It was all worth it just for that.

I spent about six hours ina starter system workign intensely one on one with a variety of players who were so frustratd with the game they were ready to quit, showing them how to play and have fun in eve(as well as make money), and at the end they decided to sign up for a subscription.
I felt fulfilled, after helping these folk, and get to relive through their eyes the part of the game where it is so big and forbidding and wonderful and full of possibilities.
That was a good day.

Everything I do in Eve makes me glad I play. Yesterday, I wasted three hours tracking down some debris and a rock formation in our home system with nothing but the scanner and a shuttle. I enjoy doing that. There was nothing there, but it was fun nonetheless.
Your PVP story is cool. Let's lynch some pirates.

Not quiet the answer your looking for....but.
Last December I was a passenger in a car crash, and suffered several broken bones.
Now 4 months later I'm very much recovered and just waiting for the last bone to heal, and in all that time off work....EVE has kept me entertained. Never would I thought I'd be so happy to have a game to play for hours a day. Theres always something to do stop getting bored.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. What actually happened is my girlfriend left me (nothing to do with Eve) and I've been so bored recently that Eve has been an enjoyable distraction. I'm still bored, but at least now I'm bored in space :D.

In a similar position myself. Broken leg, torn ligament, have been off for a month, and another two weeks to go.
Eve is my sanity.

I were doing a complex in my Deimos. Then 2 feroxes jumps in and started to fire at me. I pressed autopilot and jumped out. While I were junmping I thought to myself, Hey Im in a Deimos, I could take them out. So when Im out of warp I warp back to the gate and then in to the complex. They lock me again and I warp out by again (what now I think to myself) Then I see a big yellow A icon. duhhhh I forgot to shut off the autopilot :)
So I warp back again and now the guys probably have noticed what ship im in. So they want to be friends and want us to do the next stage. As the friendly guy I am I accept :)
They were actually nice and we had a nice fight in teh next complex stage.

Thing that has made me most glad lately was getting the stabber fleet issue recently. Not just for getting a faction ship, but because i had to work out where could the commander tag be hidden, which i finally found out.
Basically got all the items needed by myself, only having to buy the ammatar navy raid leader insignia, mostly cos i was about to leave on a trip and offer would otherwise expire

Finally buying my Raven BPO, after planning and plotting to do so for quite a few months. That felt good.
Unfortunately, the rest is something of a downer, as Eve is really growing boring for me (.

I took most of all the "Minmatar Tech I Frigates" and a set amount of isk to start with (100,000). I also have some BPC's of diffrent cruisers, moduals, and goodies. I bought some supplies for my first odd frigate (Guns, ammo, WS) and fitted it up. I proceded to my homebase in 0.3 system. I then set out to smack down some NPC Frigates for isk and mods to keep or refine. Once that was complete for about a day. I had enough minerals and nice named items to build me a "Blackbird" cruiser. My set 100,000 isk bankroll was up to 1.4million isk. Just to follow in with my theme, I bought a BPC of a Blackbird. I then contunied to build a "Blackbird" in the factory. Luckly enough I had heavy missile launcher BPC and missile BPC's. I then fitted up my "Blackbird" that was built from the "System". I continued out to find some "Players" to put down, take there mods and refine. So far, I'm doing pretty good with my EW Blackbird. I've destroyed a few Frigates and Cruisers for refining.
The goal = Starting from nothing and ending with a good bankroll as well produced a "Tempest Battleship" from minerals refined from "Player" mod's.
Just because I can set cool events like that for myself when I'm bored. It makes me happy I play eve. BTW, if anyone is out there solo in the world like I am. Should try it =)

Hm, my corp is based in the outskirts of 0.0, deep in teneriffis, an drecently our most important base came under attack from RA forces. They took it, and most of our ships/assets where trapped inside.
After several encounters and battles over the station we were forced to withdraw, but a few brave souls stayed with me and so we managed to start a counter attack the night b4 the patch hit the server.
We started with only five battleships, and ended up with a whole fleet of 25+ ships that came to our aid ;)
In the end we managed to retake the station and hold it till the patch was applied, and now we have a homebase again ;)
Patience wins. |
