I cant help but feel this is exaggerated somehow.Even if he warped in without hardeners on and shield booster not going it would have taken a lot longer than "OMGZ IM INSTANTLY IN ARMOR!!!".
Still......yep that sucks.

Well, OK, it may have taken a teeny bit longer than that, and I was obviously badly set up, but hey - I'm pretty sure about the mice drinking tea bit!

I had a similar thing happen to me once.
Our two cats were playing around, chasing each other, the small female cat(weighing in at 1.7kg) and the large male cat(weighing in at almost 5kg, yet not that much fat), when Busan, the female cat, suddenly turns 90 degrees into my computer room, jumps over my arm and lands on the keyboard, using it for extra traction, hitting the suspend key with a claw, while Kurre, the large male cat, misses the turn to a certain degree, instead slamming into my large bottle of cola. While I'm busy catching the bottle, I notice that EVE is shutting down, as are all the other programs, and the computer itself, and go WTF?!?
Fortunately my ship survived that.

when my cat gets mad he walks behind my computer.. only because i freak out when he does it. He knows it will get my attention
he sometimes tries to use my leg as a scratching post because he'll get a similer response out of me.

There's a synonym for "cat" that also applies to this little proverb.....

You sure your cat is not a Caracal?
Ah - that's where the name come from! No, this one's my cat:
blummin' computer
This probably is the most stupid project I've ever seen...But it's fun anyway 
I should post my cat too...But I fear he won't fit on the screen...He is 15 years old and has the same weight 
Anyway, sorry for your loss...I've lost many ships due to animals...Being rats or furret...

Yeah - it is a bit of a mad project, and getting him to sit still long enough provided plenty of entertainment in itself! As for losing your ship to a ferret - now that sounds an interesting story!

you are not alone in having been blown to smithereens by your cat
consider yourself lucky you dont have 10 cats, i have to close the door and do a sweep of the room before logging in. Naturally the wife usually lets a couple of them in during frenzied PvP, as one of her many tactics to get me to "stop playing that f***ing game"

It is worse if they can catch mice. Ever tried to do a fleet battle while your girlfriend is screaming and two cats are chasing a half dead mouse around the living room?
my co-pilot cat tries to help (again)

I was in a fleet battle once and my dog, who was under the desk, moved and pulled the power cable out of the back of the PC. Luckilly I was not targeted while rebooting and got out intact.
BTW on the drone missons: fit cruise and a good number of hardners in future. But most importantly only poke the clumps one at a time. Kill one, recharge shields and then poke the next - easy :-)

Thanks for the tips - it's been a while since I did any agent missions, but I'll have to have another go at this one just to salvage a bit of pride. I'll just make sure the cat is out and my insurance is fully paid up before I go in!

I find that women and children can have much the same effect as cats. Not so much the jumping on keyboards but the uncanny ability to require your total attention, afk, urgently just at the moment you need all your concentration just to survive. 2 indies, a kesie, a moa and a raven have all died to this. you'd have thought I'd have learnt by now :-(

One time I was running the gauntlet(s) from empire down to Impass, and I was coming up on Kehour. The map told me that there were dozens of pilots in space, and many ships shot down and pods popped in the last hour. But I warmed up my Atron's (hey, it's cheap) micro warpdrive and patted my warp core stabilizers and thought, "who wants to live forever?" and pushed forth. Blockade running can be pretty interesting, especially on long trips.
Just as I was making the jump into Kehour, my girlfriend decided her phone reception downstairs wasn't the pinnacle of perfection, so she started slamming the frequency change button. Inevitably, the 2.4Ghz phone in her hand locked on a frequency that was close enough to the carefully chosen one of my wireless 802.11g network. Windows XP dutifully informed me I no longer had an internet connection just as EVE closed up to its login screen.
I flew out of my chair, muttering "*expletive*, *expletive*, *expletive*", and ran downstairs plucking the phone out of my girlfriend's hand. I mashed the frequency button a few times, then tossed it back to her and ran upstairs. I forced XP to try to reconnect, and logged back into EVE thinking my poor little Atron was spacedust.
Miraculously, the main blockade was on the other side of the system. I couldn't believe my poor ship was just sitting there for probably a couple of minutes straight with nobody taking it out.
A rare thing

Do you play Eve on a laptop?
Do you have a girlfriend, that supplies you with a cup of coffee while playing?
Did you ever absentmindly say "thanks" when she places this cup between the laptop and the mouse?
I was fast enough to rip the AC-Adaptor and the battery of the laptop before the coffee reached the mainboard and could cause a short circuit. Half a liter of alcohol to clean the mainboard. And a new keyboard. The new ship was of little concern....

Not nice.
In a past life I did PC support, and had a call from a salesman whose laptop had mysteriously stopped working. When I arrived on site and picked the laptop up, half a cup of coffee came streaming out of the keyboard over the desk.
Once it had stopped dripping, and I had mopped up whatever I could see, I sent the whole lot off to Toshiba for an estimate of the damage. To their credit, they repared and replaced what was necessary under warranty and sent it straight back free of charge.
That salesman was given an abacus and told not to come back!

wasnt my 6.1kg heavyweight moggy but my Wife's few hundred gram TORTOISE that got me.
some chums and I playing with some Lvl 2 driods (cos we're newbies) blasting away etc. Along comes the tortoise and things "mmm, dark under that desk, and seems warm too near that big black whirring thing" and wanders behind my not-on-the-desk-but-under-it desktop. scratches around, out pops usb mouse and keyboard, then the power. plop.
Thankfully my chums kept the drones busy and I didnt loose my (uninsured) ship.
