Winterblink	Posted - 2005.05.04 15:00:00 - [1] In no particular chronological order: Undocking for the first time. My jaw hung open in awe at the graphics. The first time I went to warp. My jaw probably hit the floor. Noticing the red- and blue-shifts of the warp effect Zooming in on a billboard and noticing the image was actually made of little RGB pixels Hearing 'Primordial Star Clouds' for the first time. I shut my eyes to listen to it and let my miners overflow the hold on my Imicus. Noticing that even the cargo cans in EVE are things of ultra-detailed beauty Getting my first cruiser (Thorax) Going on my first exploration flight and getting my ass handed to me by a squadron of Angels My first PVP. I lost (barely), but the other guy was more annoyed at having to use so many expensive missiles to kill me. My first PVP kill, literally yelling 'woohoo!' out loud Starting my first corp with real life friends Seeing a heavy missile detonation for the first time. John Bishop was blowing away rats at the other side of the belt I was mining, his Widowmakers shook a glass off my desk. Joining a Colossus Technologies (great corp with great people) Leaving Colossus to create Freedom Technologies with John Bishop, Kulath and Octavius, great friends I've never met in my life, but have played with for over a year Starting Warp Drive Active as an experiment with Photoshop, being utterly shocked it's been accepted by the community Getting my first battleship (Megathron). Heading to 0.0 for the very first time. Anyone who's done it will know how you feel doing that the first time. Being involved in my first fleet fight with Curse Alliance, way back when. Organized chaos, but a ton of fun. Getting into a major car accident in real life, finding out how great this game's community is by seeing how much supportive evemail came pouring in Seeing how special EVE's developers are when they send me the Gallente Homecoming poster with a get-well card signed by the development team. They're truly unequalled in the game industry. Please feel free to reply and your own favorite moments, as I will when I think of some more. :) ___winterblink/warp_drive_active/eve_nature_vraie//
Andy Roo	Posted - 2005.05.04 15:06:00 - [2] Gotta be my first trip to 0.4. I had no idea whatsoever what I was doing..wandered into a belt to see someone blow up, and another cruiser (I was in my Blackbird) fly away, with some talking in local. Then I hung around for a bit and left..didnt get into any fights...but saw some good ones. Then there was another time in Jan, hunting NPC rats with a friend. He went to one belt, I went to another. I heard 'F***' over gang chat, warped to him and theres some guy called Mang0o in an apoc. First time id lost a T-rax...at least he didnt get my pod. I really should get into 0.0 at some point.. ---- Not from Omicron Persei 8.

Aelius	Posted - 2005.05.04 15:30:00 - [7] My all time favorite. The EVE first 3 months where having a cruiser meant really something and everyone were fighting on frigates. An absolut must (no Concord, no IJBM, no Autopilot and no Highways) where EVE universe was HUGE and i mean REAL HUGE. Selling Raven BPC ME20 3M at Yulai 1st Station
DrunkenOne	Posted - 2005.05.04 15:31:00 - [8] Edited by: DrunkenOne on 04/05/2005 15:33:04 Making 30 jumps in a bantam the 1st night I had eve. Running a m0o blockade around kaira in my first BS (tempest when they were uber). \o/ For dual MWD. Guerilla warfare vs FA with celts/blacklance/remains of cfs using dual drive cruisers. First fleet battle (I didn't die yay). Joining evol and watching a G/PA/celest fleet run when they had 5-3 odds. Becoming a pirate and getting my first hatemails. Joining BOS. Sleeping with siim's mom. Siim's mom getting pregnant. Fathering siim.
Oveur	Posted - 2005.05.04 15:33:00 - [9] 10 minutes after the official launch of EVE: "Has the server crashed yet?" _____________________________ I say hey sky, s'other say I won say, I pray to J I get the same ol' same ol.
Wired	Posted - 2005.05.04 15:39:00 - [10] This is both my greatest and worst moments in the same event. (Back when i was a noob ~2 years ago) Had just got my hands on my first (but not last) Moa, as this was back in the day i had not rushed it and was able to fit it reasonably well for a bit of combat. A corpie of mine knew a 0.4 where there was a rat spawn near a planet that gave 50k rats (which at the time were pretty big), so off we went hunting. Eventually my corpie logged and i thought what the hell i'll go kill some myself and make a quick bit of isk before i log, the rats had other ideas, i was promptly warp scrambled and lost my first cruiser. Luckily i was insured and managed to get my corp to build another Moa for me that would be ready when i logged on the next day. I logged on got my cruiser and thought to myself, time for revenge. So i warped back to where i'd lost my previous Moa. My new moa was in my possession barely a few hours before i recieved another insurance payout. One of my other best moments was when a couple of my corpies (CYVOK was one of these) got their first bs's and i was lucky enough to be responsible for hauling all their freshly mined ore (and get ~30%) for my efforts. I was making ~3mil per mining op and had more money than i could possibly use. Seeing my first BS's was amazing as i was barely into cruisers at the time and those things were huge. I guess those are 2 moments in EVE that sum up 2 years for me. The adrenalin rush of combat, and the sheer size of universe and entities within. ============================================= If you cant have sex with the monkey Make friends with the organ grinder....

Graelyn	Posted - 2005.05.04 15:41:00 - [11] My first day of EVE, I figured that since I was Amarrian, I should go see Amarr. I warp through and find myself in the middle of ImpPoc return event, with the Golden Fleet under full assault by minnie suicide squads, and CONCORD in turn firing on them..... Yeah, about that time I knew my ass was owned. dreamy sigh Minister - Public Affairs AEGIS MILITIA ATCR Forums
Nero Scuro	Posted - 2005.05.04 16:08:00 - [12] First station siege. I was only in a wee little Caracal, but it was great. Warped in at 60km, saw all those pretty torps (I'd never seen BS in action before then) smashing into it. Nearly fainted. ---------------- Haha, stupid monkey! Now I'VE got the Oscar! Enjoy your worthless gun!

Vegeta	Posted - 2005.05.04 17:51:00 - [23] Winning duels is always fun, though the best times I had were probably these: My first PVP session with FoA, 3 days into launch. Leaving FoA and creating TAC, later to become TLBC Buying our first BS BPO a couple of months into launch Splitting up TLBC for m0o Killing Grikl's Imperial Apoc m0o when we crushed Fountain Realizing how friends in this game mean much more than ISK 2005.04.25 16:40:42 combat Your 1400mm Howitzer Artillery II perfectly strikes LawrenceNewton [WARAG], wrecking for 2706.9 damage.
The Enslaver	Posted - 2005.05.04 18:06:00 - [24] Hrmm: -Logging on for the first time -Mining Ark for the first time, in a tormentor in Beta. -Mining Ark a couple of hours after launch in my impairor. Was hilarious. -Getting my first Indy (Don't say a thing.) -Getting my first Cruiser -Getting my first BS -British Space Corp internal Frig tourney -Hunting pirates in Gonditsa -Leading a squad based on exploring EVE, looking around for well... everything -First interceptor. -Joining the C4 Alliance -Joining the Curse Alliance -The continued, fun, respectful on both sides, war between SA and CA - for a year. -Capturing and holding Esoteria and Paragon Soul... Still perhaps my favourite military campaign of all time -Joining Omega Corp -Becoming a Knight in OC in under a month -First XF war -Formation of Supremacy -My first Heavy Assault Cruiser -The collapse of JQA -The [5]/XF war -The almost total collapse so far of XF -------- FireFoxx80: If you think you can do a better job, go find yourself a datacentre to host a box, get a copy of Visual Studio, and STFU.
mahhy	Posted - 2005.05.04 18:40:00 - [25] The moment that sticks out in my mind the most was my first battle after joining MASS. I'd been in some decent sized fleets up in Empire fighting those dirty Minmattar terrorists, but this was just a different league. Literally about 1 or 2 days after joining MASS, CA and SA had one of the largest fleet battles we ever managed in UQ. Local topped 200 at one point if I remember correctly. It was constant warp in, warp out, trying to figure out who the hell was close enough to shoot, or if I was getting shot at, or if we had anyone even leading the gang(s) anymore. Total anarchy, on a grand scale. I don't even remember if there was a "winner" or not, it was just carnage. It was terrifying, and utterly exhilirating at the same time
Galk	Posted - 2005.05.04 18:48:00 - [26] Has to be the first time i activated the mining lasers on the velator. Felt like wow, im doing something. It was ohh so quiet then.. i had no idea what a hauler was, so like Mr afk miner in his hauler looked like Mr ubber to me.. i was just dieing to get one of those ships and do what he was doing ------------------------ ---- Little wonder why people were, what this person was telling my friends: http://galk.50megs.com/logs/
Nuala Reece	Posted - 2005.05.04 19:20:00 - [27] Originally by: DrunkenOne Making 30 jumps in a bantam the 1st night I had eve. Heh I remember that kind of thing - 30 odd jumps to do agent missions in 0.3 - 0.0 space and only realizing a month later what a huge risk it was. The first few days - mining, fighting, buying my first kestrel and reliving all those warm and fuzzy memories of being a 12 year old transporting narcotics, slaves and firearms across the Elite universe. Actually, I still get that even 2 years on Loosing my Kestrel to Mo0 - really upset with them and, at the same time, really chuffed to have found a game that allowed that kind of excitement. Spending the next couple of months trying to outwit and outmaneuvre Mo0 and others getting past the Mara/Passari (and other) gate camps. Switching to my alt and getting the character right the second time around. Joining Nocturnus Angelus (seems so long ago) Finding a new home in Freelancing Corp after Noan wound down. The Freelancing day trip to see the Eve Gate. First real taste of PvP - which is to say actually making it through an hour or two of skirmishing before loosing a ship rather than being spaced within 30 seconds while running away Realizing the game still has new things to offer I haven't tried yet even after 2 years of playing.

Dred 'Morte	Posted - 2005.05.04 19:31:00 - [28] --First pvp, my tristan vs his merlin, i almost won, but, he got away. --First days of PvP in 0.0, almost killed taht Gold Magnate, but it was too fast and i was lagged --Yulai Incident, Zombies killed sooo many ppl, no1 will ever beat their record.i was killed too btw btw, to those saying the eve graphics are great, yes they are, if u only play The Sims, imho, the graphics of this game are very poor Sad thing is, i did all those things with my first Char, Ahlaia, but she had crappy Perception so i started Dred 'Morte and some time after i deleted Ahlaia i miss her
Taurequis	Posted - 2005.05.04 20:57:00 - [29] 1st would be being part of the Stain Empire high command team during the fall of the Curse Alliance and getting to re-write the public statement we put out the same day. Especially the ripping off of the Mahatma Ghandi quote - An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind I dont think i got more then 8 hours sleep in 3 days. Alot of hard work went into making sure things worked out as they did. Which burned a hell of alot of us out from politics entirely. But i wouldnt change the experence for the world. 2nd would be being lead cfs frigate as CA setup their first blockade of CFS space in the first CA vs CFS war. Then getting in EVE Guardian for helping get the first CFS kill of that war (i was that lone vigil pilot)... 3rd helping organise the defence & communications of the 4gq and esoteria mining corridor during the few months after Omega Corp got kicked from Stain and were living in o5y3. Epic times. Someday i'll write my biography.......i've lived in interesting times... Best Regards, Taurequis
