Zagdul Clan Shadow Wolf Fatal Ascension 1150	Posted - 2012.12.07 11:12:00 - [4] - Quote For those who don't know, Zagdul was a character given to me... Here's how I spent my first month. I made a Billion Isk in my First Month This is absolutely true and my corp has been begging me to write about it so I figured I'd put it here. I'm no english major and I suck at telling stories... so deal with it. First off, I am new to EVE. My main is now two months old and I pay for two accounts now with GTC's which I pay ISK for. I bought my second account when Steam offered the $5 special. I fly Gallente, so this is how I did it in Gallente's ships and I can't offer advice or how to do it in other's because I still don't know enough about the other races. I would imagine that from what I hear about the strengths and weaknesses of the other race's ships, that this would be completely feasible, if not easier with other races (see: Caldari Drake). Week 1/2. I got enough skills to where I could salvage, fly a destroyer and equip T2 cargo expanders and apped to a 0.0 corp who ran level 4 missions and explored complexes. The deal was that whatever I salvaged, I split with everyone in the fleet. I did this for my entire first week and well into my 2nd. During this time I got enough skills to get myself into a cruiser and did learning skills. My corp did all the hauling of the salvage for me and I didn't even know the worth of the things I was picking up at this time. I was just excited to be in 0.0 space and om nom nom all the wrecks that these guys in super battle ships were blowing up. These guys were happy they didn't have to salvage. On my first day of doing this, I made about 10 mil in bounty's. I didn't make much because I was normally a room behind my corp mates. However, the next day after the contracted salvage (oh, lol... I had to learn how to use a contract this night) to one of my corp officers, he took it to High sec and sold it all of depositing 65 million in my Wallet (GASP!!!). I'm hooked.... Week 2/3. More learning skills, but now can fly a Vexor. Vexors are great drone boats for a noob as I was... am. They're also awesome ratting ships. I lost a couple of these this week, luckly they're cheap and awesome to learn with. I listened to my corp mates, the rookie help channel and asked loads of questions. This week was spent learning how to chain belts and rat effectively against damage types. If you can learn anything early on, it's how damage types and resistances to those work. You may not be a powerhouse in terms of DPS and PvP, however, you will be able to indefinitely tank a battleship in a cruiser if you understand the guys you're going against. I asked in Rookie Help what kind of pirates do what type of damage and what they are weak against. The ISD provided me with a link to a very nice chart. Now, I lost a few of these ships because, well.. 1. I sucked.. and 2. I was in low sec space, sucking, when assault ships would tear me up. I was a victim of many kill mails. Luckily the rats I was killing were high bounty's for my level of skills... 500k > 1+ mil. I did this on the early hours of the evening while I'd go out plexing with my corp mates at night and salvage some more for them. (I'm now around 100+ mil in my wallet) Week 3 I trained up more learning skills and continued with belt ratting. At this point I'm almost in a Battlecruiser and completely self sufficient. This week was pretty lackluster and I basically continued what I did the previous week as I waited for skills to complete. By the end of this week, I'm looking at around 300 mil and almost ready to buy a Plex, however, I read the noobguide and it said not to fly anything you couldn't afford. I was about to get into battle cruisers and got a tip to use faction fittings in order to skip some training. These mods are very expensive. Dual Pane idea: Click! CCP Please Implement
Zagdul Clan Shadow Wolf Fatal Ascension 1150	Posted - 2012.12.07 11:12:00 - [5] - Quote Week 4/5 > trial time ran out... I'm now in a battle cruiser... funny story. I got owned in my first Brutix belt ratting with heat sinks on. Anyone in my corp reading this is most likely snickering at me. I guess that's one of those mistakes you make once :p, especially considering the flack I got from my alliance members. They were rather upset I wasn't in vent so they could hear my tears as I lost my first Brutix. They quickly showed me how to use a kill mail, then proceeded to bash me relentlessly for equipping heat sinks on a gun boat. I spent my entire fourth week training for drones. This was also around the time when Dominion was launched and the tutorials were upgraded. I took the time to roll an alt account and do some of the new tutorials and learned all about exploration. This taught me what anomolies are and how to find them. I quickly referred back to the guide which the ISD gave me explaining the rat damage types and got myself into a myrmadon. I sat in 0.0 space, in a Myrmadon ratting the high end anomolys. I could successfully tank 4 battleships (Cap stable) as well as a few frigs/cruisers. Each anomoly would yield roughly 20-30 mil in bountys and woudld take me about 3-4 hours to complete depending on how many waves there were. On ones which had 7+, it would take me roughly 4 hours, anything less I could mop up pretty quickly while my drones did all my damage for me. If any had spawns of 5 or more battleships, I'd need to speed kite and hit them with long range weapons slowly nibbling away at them. I did this for the remainder of my trial time as well as my first 30 days. I got a couple faction spawns which gave me some great ISK. Much of my final 700 mil was spent doing anomolies. I would do plexes with my corp mates and did a couple wormholes as well. Well, that's my story... By the end of my trial I had made and spent well over a Billion ISK. I purchased a 60day GTC for 510 Mil off the forurms and had a fully faction fitted Myrmadon worth well over 200 mil ISK. Dual Pane idea: Click! CCP Please Implement

Chandaris Immortalis Inc.

Only the names were changed.
Mr Pragmatic 125	Posted - 2012.12.07 15:38:00 - [9] - Quote My best story is when I was drunk off my ass, in the first months of playing Eve. I started in industrial naturally so I was flying a retriever (before it was cool). While mining I drunkingly said to my mining partner. "I hash to take a pishh." So I proceed to the bathroom to drain the ol' snake, upon completion of this duty I sat down at my computer chair to find my self floating in a pod. (Yes I didn't wash my hands) I hear my buddy on team speak laughing his butt off. And I am staring at my pod in pure confusion, mind you I have never been in a pod in open space. My buddy explained to be I was ganked. and I was at a lost of words because I just didn't understand why someone would do that. And he responded... "For the lulz and tears." Maybe this world is another planet's hell. -Aldous Huxley ( -í-¦ -£-û -í-¦) - "What are your modules like?"

Tho'mas Alpha Strategy In Umbra Mortis 0	Posted - 2012.12.07 18:03:00 - [15] - Quote Story #1: I was flying a Claw (intercepter) and ran into a Malediction (intercepter) and Retribution (Assault Ship) in null sec, who were part of the same corp, looking for fights. I won. And the pod of the malediction was worth 150 million. Story #2: Watched a pvp video of eve on youtube, where a pilot was highlighting several fights he had. Then noticing one of the fights was his Bellicose (cruiser) blowing me up in my usual Claw (intercepter) ship.

mechtech Ice Liberation Army 198	Posted - 2012.12.09 03:22:00 - [21] - Quote Back in '06 (?) I happened to be flying an industrial in Oursulaert (when it was a huge hub) when a dev entered the system. It was Christmas, and he dropped off tons of snowballs and launchers in a can. He told everybody to take a few and have fun. I promptly pulled up to the can and took an entire cargo expanded industrial full of christmas gear, leaving nothing for everyone else. I returned to the station, and filled all of the outstanding escrow orders for snowballs (people thought they were rare collectible items). And that's how I could afford my first BPO! Story 2: I bought 100 million guidance systems at 500 isk per unit after running through my pre PI speculation spreadsheet. Do the math
Kagumichan Deorbit Burners Session Change In Progress Alliance 25	Posted - 2012.12.09 03:34:00 - [22] - Quote Was actually talking in alliance chat about an hour ago about 'the good old days'. Can't say I have an interesting story to tell, but I always remember back when I was a little podling in trinity, flying a rifter with 2 auto-cannons and an artillery using 3 different types of ammo, with a shield booster, hull repair and armour rep all fitted 'cos i didn't understand the idea behind cap stability, optimal range and falloff or resistances. Or grinding level 2 missions in a Crusader, speed tanking everything and saving up every penny to buy a Prophecy, only to lose it to a gate camp just 10 minutes later. buying a plex and selling to buy an Abaddon in Jita, fitting it to fight Gurista and then attempting to jump it through 5 low sec systems into null, resulting in it being gate camped by Hydra Reloaded, some pilot in the alliance I was in back then took pity on me and gave me another abaddon, which I then lost in high sec to a fleet of ECM Gurista with warp scramble frigates... The only unusual tale I can tell is one of a ship named Lucky Star. Every Omen I owned has been named Lucky Star, and somehow this developed into a curse, because it was guaranteed that within 2 months of the ship being named that, it would be blown up in some of the less common occurences where one would lose a ship, like getting stuck bumping against objects that simply aren't there whilst the tank was breaking, getting blown up by things that aren't in the overview during a mission, or exploding so fast after going through a jump gate that you simply have no time whatsoever to even realise that you're under attack. No other ship in my repotoire has suffered as much as poor old Lucky star, and that is why my current Lucky Star, in all it's golden glory, is safely docked, and will never see the bleakness of space again... unless I get bored and feel like blowing up.
Selw kotsidakia Three Deep Cuts 6	Posted - 2012.12.09 06:45:00 - [23] - Quote Once upon a time my alliance was in a null coalition war. One afternoon i was bored and since no pewpew was going one, i decided to take my loyal ceptor and go make some bookmarks deep into enemy territory. It seemed a quite peaceful afternoon, as after doing in hostile territory 12 jumps and passing from 2 staging systems i have yet to see enemies in overview. While initiating warp to the next gate, i lost my shields and some of my armor. Upon entering the warp i looked the gate and activated all brackets(or whater alt+z does) in order to check what shooted at me. Well it turns out the route was not so peaceful, the rat was actualy a red player battlecruiser and that i had friendly overview on while traveling. Well gave me and my corpm8s some good lolz.

I've played the trial a couple of times but when EVE went cheap on steam 3 days ago I took the dive and have played a mere 7 hours a day. .... I have managed to make 350 million ISK in 3 days from sitting in Jita, Amarr and Rens with 3 characters station trading. As a complete noob, I think it's impressive.
zeluk ONE1EIGHTY7 0	Posted - 2012.12.09 23:11:00 - [26] - Quote My story: It was about 1am and I was quite drunk after getting home. I've logged on to EVE and I was either PVP or PVE'ing when this happened; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Lincolnshire_earthquake "The 2008 Lincolnshire earthquake struck Lincolnshire, in the United Kingdom, on 27 February 2008 at 00:56:47.8s GMT. According to the British Geological Survey, the quake registered a reading of 5.2 on the Richter scale" My house shook for about 10 seconds, plates smashing etc. I genuinely thought it was my missiles in the game causing the ground, walls and windows to move...I was in shock for about a minute, staring at my screen, thinking "WTFH", until I realized it was an earthquake. Don't drink and EVE.

I think so far my personal favorite is convincing this lovely chap to hand me 400mil to get "blue" status so he could mine, then continue to explode him and his corp mates as they came into the system.

Galaxy Pig New Order Logistics CODE. 621	Posted - 2013.01.14 19:42:00 - [32] - Quote Sweet vengeance /the most fun I ever had in EVE solo I was once the token PVPer in a carebear corp a few of my real life friends had started. Well, another real life recruit of ours from college was semi-converted from WoW. He still hadn't quite grasped the nature of EVE. I was informed that he was considering quitting EVE due to a recent encounter with a ninja-salvager/ganker, and that I should assist in talking him out of it. So, the next time I saw him log in I started trying my best to do just that. He seemed to grow increasingly agitated with my "yeah, that happens..." kind of response (apparently he had received similar sentiment from other corpies) he started broadly generalizing about "*-holes". Resigning, I finally encouraged him to stay, but, should he leave, kindly donate his meager assets to Corp (the nicest way I could think to say, "can I has your stuff?") He declared he would never leave his stuff to a Corp full of -holes like us. At this point I would like to point out that this was in fact the third occasion on which he had personally insulted me. Once before when I terminated a different RL-friend/corpmate for arguing about politics in my channel, and once while we were playing table-top DnD and I attacked a member of our own party (I know, I'm a terrible person). On all three occasions he called me an -hole. "I'll show you -hole." I thought, as I quickly bribed someone to run a locator agent on him. Meanwhile, placating him with some nonsense about how he was entitled to his opinion. I find out where he's running his level 2 missions out of, it's a 0.9 system, at the time my sec status was just low enough to get me attacked in 0.9 but not 0.8, damn it. I had to lure him out. So the next day, I log in Pig and idle chat a bit, acting as though all is forgotten. I later log in a different alt he didn't know was affiliated with me. I chit chat with myself for awhile, and suddenly my alt starts mentioning how there is a Titan in dodixie and it looks really cool, "Oh yeah," says Galaxy Pig, "They do that sometimes, I was at the Malkalen disaster blah blah blah..." "Oh, I think I'll go check it out," says my potty-mouthed Corp-mate, "I have a bunch of mission loot to sell there anyways..." Bingo. Now, I had previously determined the path he would fly from his HQ to Dodixe, and was camping one of the lower-sec gates along the way in a trusty Caldari Navy Hookbill. Sure enough, he came through the gate in an iteron full of all his valuable loot. (about 20 mil worth of crap), and this happened: [ 2012.07.06 06:38:29 ] Rhombur Gowen > Pig, what are you doing? n++[ 2012.07.06 06:38:51 ] Rhombur Gowen > * it!

That was my 'I was there' moment, killing a mouthy noob along with hours worth of his mission loot and a head full of +4's.

FloppieTheBanjoClown The Skunkworks 2507	Posted - 2013.01.15 01:12:00 - [34] - Quote Probably my favorite story: After I'd been playing Eve for about a year I started burning out and decided to take a turn for the dark side. I landed in a small, new-ish corp called The Skunkworks. We were a highsec wardec / griefer corp and I was the enthusiastic new guy with almost no PVP experience. About the time I got fully involved in the corp we had an ongoing war with a small-ish industrial corp that had delusions of competency when it came to PVP. We had some good fleet battles and ultimately they withdrew to defending their POS and only venturing out when they thought they had us wildly outnumbered. One night I got home to find that the Skunks had incapacitated the POS defenses and wiped out a defense fleet in the process. The enemy was holed up, most of our guys had logged out, and I was told there were no more fights to be had. I decided to check things out for myself. I found a kitchen sink repair fleet bringing some defenses back online. After watching them for a bit, I decided we should take a shot at them. I rallied three corpmates and had them gather at a nearby planet. I positioned my Pilgrim and called for them to warp to me at 10 km. The resulting gank killed a Pilgrim and a Hurricane, as well as the 'Cane pilot's pod. We got in and out under the POS defenses without losses. It seems like a small thing, but for a guy new to this sort of thing, it was huge. Suddenly I wasn't the new guy...I was the guy who dropped a gank fleet under POS defenses and got it out in one piece. That one moment changed my approach to Eve. Founding member of the Belligerent Undesirables movement.

I messed up a whole region with political interfeerence, and put a great foe out of balance. Gaining trust, and placing seeds of distrut where it was needed. We infiltrated every acitve player on the field and we had them by the balls. But sadly RL stepped in, and I live today with all the good memories, and laughs of the amount of metagaming and planning that went into it. Getting paid in sik to talk with people should never be underestimated :)
Solstice Project Highsec Outlaw Elementary School 2546	Posted - 2013.01.15 02:21:00 - [36] - Quote I'm not much of a story teller and although i could fill a whole book, i can try sharing this small bit with whomever it may interest. It was the early days of my glorious change from carebear to outlaw. I've spent two years in deltole, shooting NPCs, until a small thought started to dawn upon me. There is no point in shooting NPCs, because they don't care. Why play this* game, if i only do things that don't matter to anybody?* This is all too easy. There's no point in doing this anymore. Confused about this first step towards enlightenment it took me a few more weeks until i finally started to realize what i had to do. Adapt or die (unsub). In realization of the imminent end of my life in new eden, i went to dodixie, bought an hyperion and fitted it with smartbombs. Hyperions are massive ... and a smartbombs range profits from bigger hulls. I undocked, floated foward, and waited for my ship to reach the end of the docking range ... ... plus a bit for my smartbombs ... ... and then i hit the brakes. Ten minutes passed while i was observing all those ships floating towards me. Still rationalizing, suddenly a rifter started orbitting me. I found that to be quite funny, considering my intention ... so i convo'd him. He said he had no apparent reason for doing this, but i was simply there and my huge ship was nice to fly around in circles. So i asked ... "Do you have implants?" ... "yes?" ... "Do you want to keep them?" ... "uh oh" ... ... and surprisingly, from one second to the next, there were 20km distance between us. That amused me ... and changed me a bit. Enlightenment was well within reach now. I realized that sitting around wouldn't help me, so i programmed Deltole as destination and hit warp. Deltole is a system on route from Hek to Dodixie ... ... with reasonably high traffic. Thinking about it today ... ... It made perfect sense to end it all where it all has started. I jumped into Deltole and observed. A rifter ... and a destroyer, obvious alts, sitting well outside of the gates range ... scanning ships. I started slowboating towards them. Then i sat there. Waiting. Rationalizing. Thinking. If i do this, there's no turning back. Ratting myself up is a no go. It'll take ages and it'll probably break my will to keep logging in. Fifteen minutes passed, lots of ships and pods moving towards the gate, until ... This one pod ... called HANNA BARBERA. HANNA BARBERA ... the makers of Scooby Doo. I ...................... .................................. hate ..................................... ......................................................................................... Scooby .................... Doo. And thus, with no more thoughts interfering, i pressed the keys that brought the light of freedom upon me and all of those well within my range ... ... and CONCORD asked me ... Are you sure ? And i said ... YES ! Inappropriate signature removed. Spitfire

For example I could tell you about my favourite drake fleet I was on with the CFC. Now in reality I could say that we all bridged to a system, survive some bombing runs and then shot the objective and that was pretty much it. Or I could regale you a long and winding story describing all the detail and feelings and emotions and it will sound awesome.

Seems like there used to be more interesting stunts like that one. Another example: Harper Handee, EVE Tourist - Around New Eden in 80 Days tales. What makes these tales good is the humor, in addition to the actual in-game misadventures. Need some more stuff like that these days guys. If you help someone when they're in trouble, they will remember you when they're in trouble again.
Hyper Snyper Alzhara Industries Beacon Light Alliance 23	Posted - 2013.01.15 17:20:00 - [42] - Quote I've been playing EVE on and off for about 2 years and just a couple months ago got back into it again. So soon as i rejoined i had to get accustomed to everything again and refigure out what everything did. So i felt i was pretty comfortable with my knowledge and i joined a great corp that i am still with. But when i first joined i was asking questions and whatnot about different stuff in the game. Eventually i had saved up enough money to buy my first Dramiel for some pvp roams we did. I got it all fitted nicely with the help of my corp mates. After it was all said and done it cost me about 80 -90 mil. Not a terribly high amount but it was alot for me back then. So one day we decide to have a small gang lowsec roam in a system about 5 jumps away. I was flying my Dram and two other guys were in Drakes. We get to the system and immediately D-scan and all that buisness and we find a retriever on scan. We start roaming the belts and finally find him. (quick note this is post-Retribution). He is sitting there minding his own buisness and we knew we had him. We go to attack him. I lock on and attempt to warp scram him. To my confusion my warp scrambler refused to work (remember again Post-Retribution) I keep clicking it and nothing happens. And all this time this guy is still sitting there happily mining away. I finally figured out that my safety was still on so i quickly turned that off. I finally scram him and start firing my autocannons at him. My corp mates had a similar problem and they too figured out it was the safety and started attacking him. We got him down to half armor and then to my surprise i notice i am taking a butt-ton of damage. I think to myself no drones can do that. Then to my horror i glance up at the system info....SECURITY LEVEL: 0.5..... Then i saw concord warp in and pop all of us whilst the miner continued on his merry way. We hadnt realized we were in the system right before the lowsec one and then proceeded to "Roam Hisec". It definitely gave our other corpies something to laugh about and we still joke about it to this day. I was quite disheartened at my mistake but my corpies said it was cool and we all moved on. I was still sad about my loss until the next day when i entered a random lottery i found and won a Machariel! (no joke) I was so giddy that day i couldnt believe my great luck. I lost a 80 mil frigate but gained a 1.25 bil ship the next day. My corpmates couldnt believe it as i hopped in my new Machariel and flew outside of the station for all to see. It was truly my best story of EVE and my best day in EVE as well.
Aza Ebanu Brutor Tribe Minmatar Republic 1	Posted - 2013.01.15 19:30:00 - [43] - Quote I found out about EVE Online from the Maya website's professional gallery(2004). I did a quick Google search for EVE Online and found their website. I had memories of Starlancer fresh in my mind. I was hooked by the Amarr / Matari slave drama. I created a Brutor named Arinestis. A few hours after failing to do level 1 missions in a slasher. I decided I needed more isk. so I bought a probe to do some hard core mining. The next day I took my slasher out to go kill some Amarrians. Revenge had waited too long. I flew out to a .4 sec system, and waited as I saw an Amarrian industrial ship slowly head towards the gate. There was no warp to 0 back then. I targeted him and opened fire. I was swiftly blewt up by the gate guns. The Amarrrian scum quickly contacted me to ask why I fired at him. I couldn't believe he didn't know. He challenged me to a duel in low sec So I fitted a rifter and warped to the coordinates he had given me. I was promptly blown up. The exodus patch had just gone live a month ago, and I guess I was killed by starbase defenses. I was mad and broke. The Amarrian scum gave me one million isk for my troubles as he put it. I was back in the mining belt in a probe figuring that I needed more isk, more power if I was ever going to get my revenge on that Amarrian scum. I was convo'd by a Gallente named Anthony27. He preached the greatness of his corporation and how there was rihes to be had in a mining corporation. Perhaps this was the answer. The pavement upon my path to revenge. During an evening mining op in low sec me and two other recruits were mining in a belt. Our CEO, Megri, was grumbling about how boring mining was. We payed it no attention, Anthony27 tried to calm Megri down, it seemed to work. The next mining op the following week, we fleeted up and headed to the belt. Megri was delaying. Anthony27 assured us that the low sec mining op would continue as planned and that Megri would probably be along shortly. We saw Megri in local and we cheered as our CEO had finally made it to the op. Megri said there would be friends joining the op. We thought the more the merrier. Megri warped into belt with a combat ship a caracal if I remember correctly. Anthony27 was targeted and congratulated Megri about purchasing the new ship. Suddenly local was populated, Anthony27 was fired upon quickly blowing up his frigate. The belt quickly became populated with Megri's friends. Anthony27 told the three of us new recruits to run for our lives before he was quickly podded. I started spamming warp to the nearest gate. I was able to make it out, but the two other new recruits lost their ships. Our CEO had gone rogue. There is more to the story. If you want to read more send me an Evemail.
Kietay Ayari Caldari State 462	Posted - 2013.01.16 04:33:00 - [44] - Quote Once upon a time, around two weeks of time ago, I decided I wasn't playing actively enough to enjoy what a good corporation could offer and I wanted to just have fun adventures in EVE. Specifically! I wanted to find out all the ways people would react to a situation they had never encountered before :3 I decided to fit up my super sneaky Tengu with 3 warp core stabilisers, an Interdiction Nullifier, and a Covert Ops Cloaking Device . Already I bet 38 of you are furious! Some at the destruction of a Tengu with 3 stabilisers and some at the thought of how annoying this ship would be in your peaceful 0.0 home! >:] Well fear not! My adventure was not going to asplode anyone, in fact, it would do the opposite! After fitting my ship I zoomed off to my first 0.0 home, which was located in the NPC nulsec space. You know the one Im talking about! It has Serpentis rats and lots of hot drops and abandoned POSs all over. From there I wandered around until I ended up in Deklein which I think is where I really wanted to be anyways. This is where I began my sneaky hunt, trying to catch unsuspecting or sleepy GoonSwarm pilots in belts or anomalies or floating too far off station! Eventually I did so c: I caught a nice fun hurricane in a belt, and quickly scrambled his warping engine so that he had to stay and play with me. Of course he opened fire on me, but being in a perfect Tengu it did very little damage. I didn't shoot missiles at his ship, though, as most Tengus like to do. Instead I opened up with a barrage of light shield transporters, while firing my missiles at the rats that were targeting him. I said I was here to assist but for some reason he did not believe me. Eventually (not really far eventually just a few more seconds) his super loyal friends zoomed in and warp disrupted me. The Tengu is the best ship there can be but without the perfect active tank they knew they would surely kill me now. But don't forget! I am an experienced adventurer and quickly warped off, thanks to my triple warp core stabilised Tengu engine, leaving some very confused capsuleers behind. This was the game I played with them for the next few days, moving from system to system so no one would eventually wise up and decided to fit a triple point frigate to really catch me. This was until I was invited to a system by someone on the forums, the system VFK. ( I was not really invited I was just given a system name and since I was already close I decided to float there) But there I was! The system full of a billion bees. The game I had played with the less populated systems seemed too scary to play here. How could I rep and escape when so many were always everywhere! I decided I would have to play a new adventure game while I waited for this person to show up in the system he named. I used a blockade runner to move about 40 low priced deadspace mods out to my VFK Tengu. From then on I would drop them one at a time off station, and see how brave the people were for nummy blue prizes. Of course it seems like obvious bait from a cloaked Tengu! To pull people off station and then eat them for sure, but eventually people started to scoop them up, an soon realized I was just an unskilled adventurer who was wasting time. I feel like I have sort of been wasting time in this story because the event that amazed me the most has not come yet and thats really what I want to say! But the backstory is important. Anyways! I did end up dying once in VFK, so DONT laugh at me! It was not my fault, Team Liquid was attacking and I was going to decloak and drop some prizes for them as well when my internet cut off :[ when I logged back in I was floating in my capsule in the middle of the scariest space in the universe! But being the clever adventurer, and remembering the goal of my adventure, I decided to ask a GS member to bring me a cloaky SB that I had purchased from the station in VFK. Do not confuse this with being naive! I am not saying I am not naive, but I am not THAT naive! I knew most likely he was either going to just keep it, or even more likely kill me, but that is the fun of it, trying to find the instance of interaction when another player does not do what is easiest, what is expected of them, but instead does the opposite for no good reason at all! Obviously my first adventure test was to see how people responded to that happening to them, but now I wanted it to happen to me! He killed me. The next day I was back in VFK with a new Tengu, a prettier one I think, it had less core stabs but also less points so it was sort of a nice balance. Anyways, I continued with my prize dropping game while waiting for someone who I was waiting for but no one really knows who that is. I know it is kind of cheating, dropping prizes definitely might almost sort of affect the way people respond to a neutral in their most prized system but I think it is a fair test still! Because you seeee, I eventually did get what I wanted! One day as my prizes were running low, I decided I wanted to adventure into wormholes as well (I have different adventure plans for wormholes that are much more far fetched but so much more spectacular they would be worth the loss of any number of pretty Tengus). Anyways I wanted to do the wormholes too, but did not have a probe launcher on my Tengu. I was casually mentioning this to one of the people who had regularly raced to my blue prizes, when he offered to fit my Tengu in the station for me. This was an even BETTER chance for me to achieve my goal. I told him I would accept his deal and that he could meet me in deadspace and I would eject my Tengu. I mostly expected it to be destroyed by a thousand angry missiles, but there is always that hope you know! Ferox #1
Kietay Ayari Caldari State 462	Posted - 2013.01.16 04:34:00 - [45] - Quote To my amazement, my Tengu was not instantly surrounded by a fleet of angry Tornados but instead, greeted by a lonely goonswarm pilot in a defenceless little capsule. I eagerly ejected from my floating home and watched his pod squeeze into it. I felt vertigo suddenly, like I imagine a space person would feel if they floated away from the space station and realized there is nothing to grab onto for 9 billion miles. I also knew that it was still extremely likely that I would never see that Tengu again. So I just floated there in space, waiting. I was beginning to think of self destructing and setting up another Tengu for wormhole exploration when a purple dot appeared on the overview, and then beside me. It was my Tengu, floating there. MY Tengu. My eyes watered with the delight of a new friendship, and of completing my adventure objective that I never honestly believed I would achieve. I squished back into it to see if it was true, and it was, all my blue prizes were still in the cargo hold, and a core probe launcher as well as 5 sisters probes were now active in my high slots. I wanted to do a spin to celebrate but I donGÇÖt know how in EVE. So I just thanked the pilot and made myself turn invisible once again. I no longer cared about exploring wormholes, this was the best thing I have ever achieved in EVE. Two weeks of cloakie fun in the middle of a super nest, and someone does not kill me, but aids me! The random encounters do happen and that is all I will ever need to know forever. Any adventure is now possible! There really is no other moral or conclusion from this story. Maybe no one thinks it is the best best there could possibly be, but I do, and in the end thatGÇÖs all that matters isnGÇÖt it! I had the best adventure, and now you know about it. Do not be afraid to try! Ferox #1
Omir Kajil The Scope Gallente Federation 144	Posted - 2013.01.16 15:24:00 - [46] - Quote It all started the day I learned about the existence of wormholes. The day I learned my true purpose in New Eden. To explore... To be free, unfettered from the claustrophobic stench of K-space... I had never really felt at home in hi-sec. Once I had learned the sacred art of probe scanning, I knew I was ready to set sail into the unknown abyss; my home which I had never known. I scanned down signatures in hi-sec, and bingo! Found a wormhole! I had done it! I warped to it, and after many moments of silence sitting in awe, I began my approach in my trusty myrmidon. What would happen? Would I find riches untold? Would I die horribly in a fire? Would the shifting tides of J-space strand me, leaving me cold and lonely, lost and insecure, in a harsh, unforgiving, foreign environment? But it wasn't foreign. It was home, and I somehow knew this before I ever took my first step into J-space. I took a deep breath, and took my first leap out of my comfort zone. -this wormhole seems to lead into unknown parts of space.- ... Good. vvvvvvrrrraaaWWWWWOOOOOWWWNWWWWNWN The wormhole yawned at me in boredom as I entered it's orifice, and there is nothing suggestive about anything I have stated so far. I had done it... My first foray into J-space had been a success!
