Btw, I believe Tags4sec was added in Odyssey. If so, I'd be willing to bet some of these generous souls can get you back to highsec. This Space Intentionally Left Blank |

Well really what this means is your path is clearer than ever, you now truly commit to blockade runner and just do it in null sec and no longer worry about ecm bursting anyone :) This new learning amazes me sir Bedimere. Tell me again how sheep's bladders may be employed to prevent earthquake. |

At least you didn't light smart bombs in hisec and have 50 pods warp to you.

Your character is hardly ruined. You now have a reason to take the pacifier out yo mouth and roam lowsec, beating up idiots...and can train an alt to fly blockade runners inside a few months, and this one...he will not buy an ECM burst. Oh no. Indigently pwning indifferently. Some sucker buy me a Naglfar. http://www.localectomy.blogspot.com.au

The moment I started reading OP I know it would involve ECM burst (or maybeeeee a smartbomb) on Jita gates. Didn't leave disappointed.
Congratulations on taking it well and planing your way out. |

I once used an ECM Burst in lowsec while doing a courier contract...and i hit the gate, and the gate guns shot me down. Thank G-d it wasn't in jita, lol. |

I don't know if to be happy or sad after reading this story. ECM burst on Perimeter /Jita gate brings me great joy. A noob getting royally screwed due to server-side hardware limitations and/or poor universe planning makes me sad. If the servers are unable to handle a massive trade hub like Jita, then something should be done with universe design to prevent the creation of one primary trading hub. What comes to mind is adding a small area of lowsec between all the racial empires, so one could not get between Jita, Amarr, Rens, or Dodixi without passing at least 2 systems of low-sec. Jita would get a lot less traffic and the other minor hubs would become major hubs on the same level as the new smaller jita. Otherwise CCP needs to reinforce the hell outta the node that runs Jita. I have been resub'ed for less than 24 hours and have been locked out of Jita on 3 different occasions, once for nearly 45min.
Edit: BTW op your character is not ruined, in fact it has now been improved. A -5 sec status is a badge of honor and should be worn as such. Just learn some combat skills, and rock that flashy red with pride. |

Interesting reading that made me smile and remember my early (and very hard) days in EVE.
I tried the ECM burst in populated hisec gate too and the smartbombs aswell. I think I know how you feel , even if killrights were not implemented yet when I did that mistake.
You could head back to lowsec/nullsec for a while and train up your navigation/cloak skills ? Or do some belt rats hunting to fix your security status.
Ultimately, you have a very good mind, and it's nice that you tell your mishap here. I wish you good luck !

That was one bittersweet story! But like most people I agree, your character is hardly ruined. -5.3 is only 0.39 away from getting out of criminal status. You could use the ISK donated to you, and your experience with gatecamps, to escape hisec. You can rat back the sec stat to -4.9 in lowsec quite fast. |

Good story, everybody has at some time done something stupid that has cost them just as dearly, it's part of the learning curve, and separates true eve players from those in other mmos. Also there's a permanent place for you in our alliance if you are interested. Tiericide is tiers by another name. |

"A cold, harsh universe".
It was a nice read, but a few things bothered me:
1- So you read every guide and every video about hauling, and noone ever mentioned don't be at war??? I can understand the jita gate locked out thing (relatively new at its current frequency), but I guess mistakes happen.
2- I looked over your killmail (my leet investigative skills finally come in handy), linked here for convenience http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=18146043, it seems there wasn't 100's of reds, and actually only one. It seems you died from concord. Now I don't know if you were actually at war (it seems you have a lot of scuffles with that particular corp, but I don't know how to check for wards outisde the eve client, yes I am wasting time at work), but maybe those reds you saw weren't actually war targets, but actually gankers ganking someone else. You activated your eccm and died because you are now red to everyone. Now is definitely a better story. At the end of the day the threat seems a little bit exaggerated.
3- It seems at the end there, (tinfoil hats on) you were actually albeit subtly asking for a handout. Might be just my untrusting nature (playing EVE doesn't make it better).
4- You live in lowsec, but your killboard is devoid of any actual kills.
5- You are new and everything, and it is nice when new players don't stay in the depressing bosoms of highsec, but you broke the cardinal rule of EVE, "Don't fly what you can't afford to lose". You did and now you are broke.
For intents and purposes, this at least earns the official stamp of approval, "working as intended". |

hey m8!
1. As a new player, didn't know exactly what a war is. I had read it, and because of that I said "I forgot to leave my corp".
2. There were many. One locked me fast and started shooting. I were in brave newbies and I noticed that every combat corp declares wars on them and hunt them in hi sec for easy kills. Examine please the player who killed me. He has many brave newbies easy kills in high sec at the same period, some (if I can recall) were newbie miners in asteroid belts.
3. I dint ask for ISK if you say that. I had some donations (140m ISK), but I dont think I ever asked for that.
4. I live most of my time in low sec, in Egbinger 0.1. For low sec, it is quite peaceful place, with very good planets for PI. Go there and check my words. I have instants in almost all the system around. I usually fly a nano-slasher or my viator, so I have escaped many times from hostile situations. I am skilling in PvP, but I need a month or so to try it out there.
5. true,
I know you dont trust. But I wrote down about my stupidity, and that was all.

Great story - one of the few new players these days that takes things like it's just a game... Too many people throw hissy fits at this kind of thing *sigh*
Kudos to you my friend, all I can suggest is trying out low or nullsec. There are plenty of nullsec trainer corps that will accept new players into it, if you want to keep up PI you can, access to as much PvP as you like, and finally the lovely anoms and belt rats, so you can freely move back to highsec.
Good luck :) |

Had too tag it as a fav. The story is just brilliant. Ever find yourself in a worm hole hit me up. My hole's static is in low sec. "The stone exhibited a profound lack of movement." |

Hilarious story. Thanks for sharing it.
ISK can easily be earned again, but good lessons are harder to get. I hope you will find something new in the game. And who knows, maybe you will like it more. We will never forget you Saede!
I bet you dont see things like this so often in EVE |

The ECM burst thing reminds me of that youtube video where some guys tricked a dude into setting off a disco battleship, then they warped in a ton of pods and took his sec status from 5 to -10 (or something like that). Can't remember who that was. Does anyone have the link to the video? That was freakin' hillarious. I have 5 different chars that I play. This may be my main, or maybe not. I have no idea. |

I believe it was Socratic, the infamous arse that liked to pick on Epic Arc runners, that got tricked into discoing multiple pods. He came to the attention of Zedric Cayne and the IEEE, it's a shame he no longer plays.
Great story OP, the kill rights expire 30 days after you incurred them if that helps.

Oh yes.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjUBymhbrzw thanks for the info.. watched it again.. just as funny as the first time. I have 5 different chars that I play. This may be my main, or maybe not. I have no idea. |
