Best so far: Request mission -> set destination -> check cargohold -> "missiles/ammo all good!" -> undock -> check drone ui -> "wrong drones" -> spam dock -> change drones -> undock -> fly to destination system -> "why there's no agent locations listed?" -> *facepalm*
Lesson: Don't think about other things when you're doing missions.
I also keep flying through systems that aren't on my autopilot route. |

Was used to flying Gallente ships for a long time. Maybe a year or more. Decided to try a Hookbill with a T2 light missile setup one night after coming home from a night out...somewhat drunk.
After a long time searching for targets and running plexes in FW, a Firetail finally warps into my plex.
I spent so much time waiting that I over-reacted and the "Gallente instincts" kicked in. Did I mention I was drunk? And I hate losing a tackle, so if a web is fit I get really tempted to use it.
Point, max speed, approach, web....*****!
I was warp scrambled, MWD disabled. Pretty much any turret out there could now track me. I could just sit there, dead in the water, watching the Firetail burn into his optimal and....pop goes the Hookbill. Oops, I was in a Hookbill, not a Gal ship with blasters...why did I hit approach?? OH THERE'S THE ORBIT BUTTON!

Forgot to set my route planner back to "prefer safest" afterward.

The morning after the 4th of July I made the mistake of logging in while pitifully, horribly, unbelievably hungover. The kind of hungover where I desperately needed to drink some water but I knew if I did I'd either hurl or spill it because my hands were shaking so bad. I logged and the UI was actually sort of quivering. I accepted a mission, undocked, flew to the wrong constellation looking for rats to shoot for almost an hour, found none, flew some 8 or 9 jumps back, stared blankly at the mission info for another ten minutes, realized where I was supposed to have gone, flew there, looked for something to shoot, found a rat and locked on and then what??? Where are my missiles? I then realized I'd been in a stripped boat the entire time. It was definitely a "special needs" day for me. the best advice I can give a fellow newb is: DON'T play after a night of margaritas, beer, wine and bourbon shots. Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets. Gen. George S. Patton |

I'm really bad about podding myself to get to a combat zone, jumping in a ship, and getting blown up & taking the pod express, then realizing I never updated my clone.
Recently I've bought a Rokh, fully fitted it, bought insurance....then turned around 5 minutes later and traded it to a friend so it can get moved to a deployment zone....all planned. I've also put insurance on little nagas and tornados and let my friends borrow them.
But my favorite is, and knowing I dabbled in faction warfare for months is key, is trying to do a bomb run on a razor tornado gang in Karan. Decloaking 30 k away, I began furiously spamming the launch button and angrily telling Aura to shut up....trying to disable safeties and after 5-10 seconds I had a large portion of the gang lock me up and redbox me. Thankfully they appeared to be sniper fit so I was relatively safe, even if they did have a huginn and malediction with them.....so I warped off.
Then in the aftermath I replayed what Aura was trying to tell me in my head and I realized you must not be allowed to launch bombs in low sec. |

I once shot ****** in the vein beside my ball sack. That wasnt as dumb as it sounds actually.
I once got in the passenger seat of a vehicle with an asian driving. That was really dumb. After the patch we're giving the market some gentle supply restriction, like tying one wrist to the bedpost loosely with soft silk rope. Just enough to make things a bit more exciting for the market, not enough to make a safeword necessary. -á-Fozzie |

Using a lab deep in NPC Nul, transporting heavily-researched BPOs in an SB, 3am, dead tired and falling asleep. Woke up at a gate, still in my pod, my killers giggling in local - they'd figured out I was asleep, and were having a game of soccer (football) with my pod.
They were so entertained they even let me escape, tail firmly betwixt legs. |

Lost my very first Stealth Bomber in a perfectly executed attack...in a high sec system I failed to notice I had entered during a low sec roam. Had my D-Scan covering my system info on the screen, so imagine my surprise to find a miner in a belt in what I thought was still low sec. Imagine his surprise when a lone Hound decloaked, locked him, fired one salvo before Concord blew it to smithereens. That guy is probably still laughing.
In my hurry to brawl during a Frig Fry in Anamake, I forgot that clones need updating after being podded.
I've fleet warped my whole gang out of a losing fight, right to a station, where the guns finished the job our enemy didn't.
Several times I've tried to warp to the sun to escape a fight, only to wonder why I wasn't engaging warp...because I was already fighting at the sun........
Got lazy (or just cocky) and tried to move a bunch of faction ammo and T2 modules in a regular PvP-fit destroyer. Hadn't seen a gate camp in a month, right until I had a cargo hold full of stuff- then of course I found two. I dodged one............
Lost my very first battleship, a Raven, in it's second ever L4 mission being lazy with drones and losing mine before the last scram frig was down. |

So my 2nd attempt at eve (on my main and still playing) I wanted to be an industrialist. So was mining in my bantam and thought "you know what's a good idea? A mining catalyst!" After an hour I thought "I can get some low sec mining. It can't be that bad"
Jumped into low sec, it took 30 secs to be scanned, killed and podded. It was U N K N O W N and have been set to red ever since. |

Was in comms when my CEO asked me to check outside station to see if it was clear and he would jump into system and dock up.
I replied "yup clear no reds in local"
As he jumped in it dawned on me I wasn't in our home system I was 8 jumps away on a shopping trip.
needless to say he died in a fire to a camping gang.
that was time #2of4 where I accidentally that CEO :) |

The three I can think of are pretty stupid.
1: had items and saw a decent buy order so I sold them. Too bad I was the highest buy order 2: Was super sleepy but fitting a ship and bought a scram for $1 billion isk since I was too tired to care and it was the closest. 3: I had a guy scrammed and webbed but I couldn't kill him since I forgot all my ammo. I had to run off and he sent me a PM thanking me. U w0t mate?! fight me IRL.! do you even lift?! |

Returning to the game in 2008 and not knowing that WTZ had been introduced, I was still doing it the old way. After some PVP in the Parts system, got podded while trying to make a run for the gate from the station.
Had I know about WTZ I would not have been podded.
You could say I died "the old fashioned way".

Docking at that kickout station in low because **** it, I have 2 stabs.
Splat. There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency. |

When I was in my first 2 weeks on my trial I bought my first cormorant. I then fitted it with autocannons because I thought it would have worked. After killing about 2 pirates, I felt so freaking unstoppable I decided to jump into tama.
Then an abaddon showed up...
But the worst part is that I had like an entire 40 seconds to warp away and escape, Yet I decided to approach te abaddon and say "hi". 41 seconds later I was back in my station. The [UNDOCK] button is an "I agree to be blown up" button. by clicking it, you are accepting. -Kitty Bear |
