I've seen a great many posts recently crying about suicide ganks ayers threatening to leave over it. As a recent victim my tengu was popped at a gank. Besides the several 100 million the ship alone was worth It was my mission boat tricked out with close to 4 billion in modules.
It was a sad loss but I learned two things. I didn't really need that much isk invested in one ship, I was asking for it. And two: this game is awesome. For every victim there is a winner and the guys that got me had quiet the pay day. Ill enjoy hunting them over my 30 day kill rights and use this as a lesson to fly better (and fit smarter) in the future.
While the loss represented about 2/3 of my net worth I'll rebuild and keep enjoying this great game.

You guys were both winners this time. They won for the obvious reasons, shinny killmail and loot. You win because you learned an important lesson and it resolved your will and awesome attitude. Also you can sleep sound knowing the loot Gods are on your side.

KCCO my Friend!
Just to clarify, looking at my Kill Boards you'll find a few Tengu losses, some worth about what I lost the other day. However these were always in Low Sec and Null Sec. This was my first suicide gank. I thought maybe by sharing the story I could help enlighten or encourage other players that may be frustrated with similar losses of their own.
I never claimed to be a good pilot, or even a smart one. But like I did with my other losses I'll run more missions, do more exploration sites, I'll collect data cores from my research agents and I'll look for savvy trade deals. I'll cash in my profits from PI and my moon mining ventures. I've always been pretty good at making isk, but I'll always be better at losing it.

Just pointing out that his resolution not to invest so much in one ship seems a little insincere mate.
Perhaps you should judge my intent better. |

Oh I have no doubt your well up on what is and isn't insincere mate. Intent is not a factor, or so I'm told.

As I explained that was in Null Sec where losses are expected. I never took a ship that valuable back to Null Again.
This lesson was more that in Eve you're not safe anywhere. Even in High Sec, on a routine jump at a gate my ship was destroyed. That's part of the fun of Eve though. Part of what makes it special and unique. PvP isn't an afterthought you queue into. You're not safe anywhere, no matter where you are, or what you're flying you're vulnerable to losing it. That's an important lesson I think for people to learn.
To paraphrase another post I read: For every loser there is a winner, for every groan there is a cheer for every face palm a high five.
The real test comes when you first learn this lesson and how you handle and deal with that lesson. Do you cry and quit the game, do you run to CCP or do you take it in stride, rebuild your assets and apply the lesson to future dealings.
That's all I'm saying mate.

What strange thing is this in general discussion that does entail ganking and leaving the game?
But seriously, good on you for learning an important lesson OP. |
