Tell you what....and you know who you are.....you send me two million ISK and then I will respond back twice to you. Deal?
That million ISK is called a CSPA charge and it doesn't go to the player.

I had to stand up for myself. Sorry dude, but you're deluding yourself. You never came close to killing him, he was baiting you.
The first thing you do after losing a ship and deciding to go back and have another go. Is find out who killed you (check your loss mail in your combat log) then look the guy up on eve-kill or Battleclinic and find how he fits the ship he killed you with - it's not definite that he'll be in the same fit, but quite likely:

The thing to note is that an Incursus has a bonus to active armor repping and he fits an armor repper and armor repping rigs too to maximise that.
Shooting his shields away is irrelevant, his tank was armor. You say you got him to low armor on the final fight, by then he knew that he could take you and he simply left his repper off to keep you interested and hopefully coming back for yet another fight. Believe me if you had got into his structure, you would have seen his armor magically reappear.
First battle you were in a Heron, usually Heron's are untanked. He took a chance that he would kill you quick and then be able to warp off before the station guns could kill him and he did. But make no mistake the guns would have gone for him, only they take a few seconds to lock and he can tank them long enough to go to warp. After that you had a limited engagement timer running with him. It lasts 15 minutes, you engaged the second time within that timer so he could freely engage you again without station gun interference. That reset the limited engagement timer and once again you re-engaged while it was still active, hence no station gun help again.
He was flashy yellow before the first engagement, if you were using the default colours that means he had a criminal flag running and you could have freely started the engagement without NPC interference. But as someone has said once you do he can freely shoot back. |

Oops. I thought I was being scammed. I was also told during my first forum post awhile ago now to trust no one and beware of scammers. Where does the CSPA charge go if not to the player? |

It just disappears. It's an ISK sink that people use to discourage strangers from talking to them.

My advice is to look at the guy's kills and losses and put that into perspective. For the first 6 months of this year he's gotten 3,772 kills. That's a lot. But he's also lost 98 ships. If you look at his record for the previous year you'll notice much less activity, but still he was losing 1-3 ships a month and getting 10 times as many kills each month. In late 2011 he was losing almost as much as he was getting.
You can see the player's progression of skill over time. He's gotten good at flying a certain ship class. He's gotten good at winning a particular type of engagement, and developed a system for getting that type of engagement frequently. He's gotten good at avoiding engagements that he isn't going to win. We don't know what sort of behind-the-scenes toys he uses to get a bigger edge (bait accounts, scout accounts, booster alts, implants, etc.).
Even with all that practice and investment, he's still lost over 100 ships this year alone. You've lost 2. Ever.
Don't get mad. You've only lost 2 relatively cheap ships and 2 cheap pods. If you want to get good at PvP you have to get past the fact that a lot of PvP in EVE is expensive and fairly boring. Roaming the same 3 systems over and over and over looking for newbies flying exactly the right ship and doing exactly the same stupid stuff just to boost your BattleClinic stats is pretty boring most of the time. The upside is that after a while you get good at it.
So, as for advice (and please realize that I'm terrible at PvP because I'm too lazy to take my own advice). Find a ship that's good at killing a common type of ship that people fly a lot. Buy them in bulk, like 20 at a time including fittings. Get familiar with a particular area and what the people that live around that area do. Kill people your ship is designed to fight, and avoid fights with people your ship isn't designed to fight. The last part is probably the hardest part.
I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs. |

Make sure your medical clone is up to date as for skill points, or you will lose more than implants on the next death.
