Hans Rex	Posted - 2005.09.28 04:24:00 - [1] I've been playing for about two months. Great game! I was just ending up a 20 jump trade run, which would have finished my goal of reaching 600 mill. (I've been trading in tech II goods.) I reached the gate in Oursulaert, and my Indy V was taken out by 3 suicide Kestrels. 80K in Megacyte gone, and now I'm frozen in my pod by lag. There were over 370 in system, and concord's response froze everything for about ten. Kinda have mixed feelings about this. After playing UO for 5 years, I kinda like the way things are set up here. But losing a quarter of a bill sucks. So now I'm whining to make myself feeeel better. I've moved into 0.0, and will set up shop there. Watch out here I come.
Nikolai Nuvolari	Posted - 2005.09.28 04:26:00 - [2] ::gives Hans a hug:: Damn, I'm really sorry to hear that man. That sucks monkey balls. GDBT is recruiting!
Kyle Caldrel	Posted - 2005.09.28 04:29:00 - [3] .... thats a lot of mega... if i were transporting it it would be in a Transport at minimum, or more likely in small ships and several runs.
infused	Posted - 2005.09.28 04:30:00 - [4] Ouch, bet they were alts too.
Arrgs	Posted - 2005.09.28 04:35:00 - [5] I thought you were gonna say Miz did it tbh.
Hans Rex	Posted - 2005.09.28 04:40:00 - [6] Yeah, live and learn. I ran to the first store I could find, and bought a transport ship. Killed by Fear Enterprises. But I have a very long memory.
Deja Thoris	Posted - 2005.09.28 04:49:00 - [7] That an expensive lesson to learn. 80k megacyte would have fitted in a decently tanked cruiser with expanders. Kessies wouldnt have killed it.
Magnum III	Posted - 2005.09.28 05:10:00 - [8] Originally by: Hans Rex Yeah, live and learn. I ran to the first store I could find, and bought a transport ship. Killed by Fear Enterprises. But I have a very long memory. That's the spirit, You are a true player and those guys were bums man. Rock on dude! Also I am sorry for your loss and give you my sympathies. You will be ok, I'm sure, just take a nice walk.
Kyle Caldrel	Posted - 2005.09.28 05:16:00 - [9] You will go far in eve with that attitude. I hope you bought a occator (friend owns a bpo).
Voltron	Posted - 2005.09.28 05:18:00 - [10] Glad to see you're not quitting the game over it, and you're even planning your revenge! Volt
Hans Rex	Posted - 2005.09.28 05:32:00 - [11] Bought an occator. Gosh they are expensive! I put the offending members of Fear Enterprises on my buddy list. I'm gonna study their habits, while I start another venture in 0.0. I thought it would be fun to try and bust into the middle of claimed space, and set a roadside stand.
Gallentia Walmart	Posted - 2005.09.28 05:43:00 - [12] Sorry to hear that. Oursulaert is becoming a major pain in the ass for traders and all players nowadays with the lag and terrorists are attempting to take advantage of this. Always happy to help a fellow Gallente out - send me a mail in game and I might consider giving you a trade route that will make you that amount back quite quick, but having said that, if you are trading in 0.0 - empire products you will make a fortune anyway. I can't make 100 Trillion ISK with a single click.
Malthros Zenobia	Posted - 2005.09.28 05:55:00 - [13] 2 months of playtime and you were nearing 600mil isk? It's times like this that make me gregret being pure pve/pvp... I really should just mine or trade.
Dimitri Chandler	Posted - 2005.09.28 06:11:00 - [14] Trading is where the real money is nowadays, even without freighters, unles you have tech2 BPOs like some lucky gits. --------------------------------------------------
CelticKnight	Posted - 2005.09.28 06:43:00 - [15] i can only say one thing: Quote: Dont get mad! GET EVEN! Originally by: Oveur I can make 100 Trillion ISK with a single click.
Stuart Ward	Posted - 2005.09.28 06:47:00 - [16] Originally by: Malthros Zenobia 2 months of playtime and you were nearing 600mil isk? It's times like this that make me gregret being pure pve/pvp... I really should just mine or trade. Too true I've been playing for 2 1/2 years and i have NEVER had 600 mill in my wallet
Erika Hulme	Posted - 2005.09.28 06:53:00 - [17] Flying Occator after 2 months of playing?
Jorev	Posted - 2005.09.28 07:22:00 - [18] He flies iteron5, so all he needs is industry 5 a rank 1 skill.
Captain Stern	Posted - 2005.09.28 07:34:00 - [19] Edited by: Captain Stern on 28/09/2005 07:41:14 Think about it, he's been playing for 2 months... first of all, it takes longer than that to get the skill training for indy 5 no matter how much you play. And I ask the same thing about that much money. You have to have capital to begin trading and I mean a LOT of capital to gross a high profit. I know, I trade NPC commodities regularly. A typical run costs 12 mil. to buy up front, and profits after selling 600k to 1 mil. (2-3 short-jump runs). To get 600 mil. in 2 months... That much money and Indy 5 in 2 months... sounds like a story to me... Edit: And yes, maybe you could get Indy 5 if that's all you trained, and nothing else (though I still doubt it). ------------------------------------------------------ Remember, where ever you go, there you are!
Sadist	Posted - 2005.09.28 07:45:00 - [20] It's a pity some players have to suffer an isk sink the lame way. --------------- VIP member of the [23] Sadist - harsh to the idiots, kind to the smart
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.09.28 08:43:00 - [21] there are easy enough ways to recover just move to yehaba take up those 2 juicy level 4 manufacturing Q20 agents and wait for the implant +3 and +4 offers to roll in 500m in 9 days not bad.
Raem Civrie	Posted - 2005.09.28 08:57:00 - [22] Congratulations. You don't suck. I've lost everything at least three or four times in EVE. It always stings, but you soon learn to just suck it up and move on. Good to see that you learned that lesson straight away. Alot of people don't. ---
Deka Kador	Posted - 2005.09.28 08:59:00 - [23] Just keep a note of the alt kestrel suiciders character names and see if they get trashed soon. If they suddenly become "Doomheim", petition. ______________________________________________ Note\| This character is for forum posting purposes only.
sonofollo	Posted - 2005.09.28 09:00:00 - [24] dont risk everything on one gameplay move always keep at least 400m ISK spare.
Majir Kry	Posted - 2005.09.28 09:39:00 - [25] Originally by: sonofollo dont risk everything on one gameplay move always keep at least 400m ISK spare. 200m and I will agree with you.

I've got 1.4 million SP and I've not even hit the 2 month mark yet. Indy 5 is EASILY doable in 2 months. Maybe even in less than a month.
Rodge	Posted - 2005.09.28 10:38:00 - [28] Originally by: Sadist It's a pity some players have to suffer an isk sink the lame way. Getting hit by suicide kestrels/caracals is NOT an isk sink. [ 2005.04.17 00:34:30 ] Nagilam > u better leave Rodge, u will not gank any1 else 2nite......
Astarte Nosferatu	Posted - 2005.09.28 10:57:00 - [29] Lost 300mil myself a week orso ago, so I know how it feels. Only thing to say is: isk and items aren't that important, as long as you have your character, patience, endurance and stamina, you'll be fine . ------------------------------------------ Member of the [23] Follower of the Blood Revolution.

Snake Jankins	Posted - 2005.09.28 11:44:00 - [30] Edited by: Snake Jankins on 28/09/2005 11:54:53 Sorry for your loss, but that seems to be typical for EVE: Learning by loosing expensive stuff. I'd also not have expected something like that in a high sec system. I think they have a nice income with that at least until people are more cautious. /edit: At the moment I'm wondering about if that tactics is not just plain lame. I don't like it, if you can't fight back. You can't declare war on kestrel suicide nubs. I think piracy is fine, but you should be able to fight back, declare war or whatever.
