Back in the beginning, buy a kestrel for mining (classic those days). Managed to blow my own kestrel too using cruise missiles when they still could collide.
Buying my 1st raven and fit it with 4x425 rails thinking it was uber that way and sometimes used it for mining even ________________________________________

Relocating from Jita to Pator with everything I owned in a Badger II.
Unfortunately I had contraband on board and was wasted (got as far as Pator though)
All my stuff sitting there floating in space!!
Lucky enough my corp which I had just joined (Geotech)rallied around and collected most of my stuff.
Thats oneof the reasons I am still with them

So there I am...
This was back when you could fit torpedos on just about anything that had a launcher point. I was in one of the many fledgling corps that popped up near Hulm and we were engaged in mining to build us Moa's and take over Eve.
I had just got the torp skill and was assigned to guard a mining op with my fancy new Rifter and was hot to pop a rat with my new shiny toy. It wasn't long until a rat shown itself and I locked and fired without any thought to how far the rat was from the mining ships.
We all know how cool the effect is when a torp hits the target and I marveled at the beauty of the expanding ring as it passed my ship. I also marveled at the sight of my corpmates floating in pods and all the hard mined Omber gone. I hit the rat when it was only 500 meters from most of my corp mates.
I will not go into the colorful language in the corp chat -or the lengthy questions about my parentage, social status, dining habits, sexual proclivity, or my abundant lack of education. Let us just say that it was direct and to the point.
I was out of the corp before I hit the station...

Flying around in 0.0 in a rifer, when I came across TANK CEO who had me locked before I could think about warping.
"WFT is a Noob doing out in 0.0?"
My response was typical...
"Hey B*tch!"

Edited by: Dracil Cegon on 13/12/2005 03:39:49 Well, I'm still on my trial account, but...
Took my first frigate (Rifter) out into 0.4 space to do a kill mission. I actually survived that (Ammamake, not far from Rens) and I was still using the Civilian Shield Booster and the Civilian Gatling + 2 125mm Autocannons. Then I lost the Rifter to a Dismantler drone in a 2/10 complex. I have a Thrasher now (and a backup Rifter).
Buying skill books that I already trained in without checking...

Edited by: Rebell on 13/12/2005 04:52:00 Back in beta when I first discovered EVE. I had a week of hell, I had 2 midterms, 2 assignments, and a term paper due all within a five day period, but I spent the weekend before all this playing EVE. I also had the flu that week :(
So not only did I cram all throughout the week to be able to get a passing grade is school, but I was also highly addicted to EVE and continued playing any chance I got and started writing my term paper only 6 hours before it was due.
Despite my schoolwork, in that week I went from Velator->Navitas->Imicus and by Sunday night I was ready to buy my first Tristan :D (This was when Tristans cost 550k).
On Monday morning I found that the Devs did a character wipe.
So not only did I sacrifice progress in personal life for progress in game life, but my progress in game life was nullified by a delete button :(

I have another story involving a rifter: I am chugging to a gate in syndicate near solitude when a rifter warps in.I get a convo
'Sir, do you know which way to take to empire space'
'I took a wrong turn somewhere'
I cant remeber words I responded in but I so chuckled.
I hope he lived, was returning from an empire war

I am still a newb!
I trained up frig V, electronics upgrades V and covert ops to 1 specifically to get to fly my Cheetah. Finally assembled it,hopped in, exited the station and excitedly looked down in the actions area only to proclaim 'where the heck is the cloaking button?'
Who would have guessed cloaking would be a skill! and that to be useful covert ops you really need CO at 4 and cloaking at 4......5 days to go not that I am counting
At least I was able to fly it....

Edited by: Pytria Le''Danness on 13/12/2005 07:07:27 While still in the n00b corp, a corpmate kept telling me how great agent rewards were in low sec. He even had a pretty secure route to an agent avoiding gate camps. After I got my first Thorax, I felt safe and strong and decided to try it out.
I arrived in the system without problems, and decided to have a look around the locale. At one belt I popped a few rats and went looking into the cans when some guy warped in, flashing red. But hey, he was far away, I had a lot of medium drones (4 or so :)), and he was in a frigate.
There can be little difference between Assault Frigate and Frigate, right?
Needless to say I went into armor real quick, but I was lucky as the guy ransomed me and gave me a discount due to my n00bness. In retrospect I should have had a chat with him, but I was shaking too much from adrenaline to think clearly.
Still flying that Thorax
Other things:
"I'm done with that courier mission for you, Mr. Agent." "What do you mean, the package is still in the pickup station!" "D'oh!"

When I was young me and some noobs of my corp went to Ami. The elder corpies told us not to do so. Anyway we mined there for like one hour in peace until some grim men came by to show us how nicely mega pulse lasers can hit sitting ducks. One of five CRU made it out. Those who where semi afk got a free clone jump.
Nowadays I get really angry if young ppl refuse to follow my advice. How times can change. :)

I had been playing about a month (still in starter corp) when someone asked me to show them around the game because they were really confused (this was in 2003).
Anyway, went across in new cruiser and went through things like how to fly/gate/mine etc.I went into station to get something. As I came out, my little friend announced he was being targetted. Lo and behold some frigate had him lit up,without thinking I let loose with everything I had. Except of course this was 1.0 space. A bit of space debris later and I was back in station. Thought "I'll have you, my son" and launched in my frigate. OFC still flagged so station blew me away. I feel we both learnt some important lessons that day - my little student never did contact me again :)

My 2nd day playing (yesterday :P ) and I happen to find a gatling laser. I rush to the base, mount it and go back to kill some rats. As I get in the middle a pack of 3, laughting maniacally and yelling "Hah! Eat THAT, pirate scum!" I read: "this item needs a modulation crystal to work".
"...Heh heh, i meant 'scum' in a nice, friendly way..."

Ok here goes...
Mined myself into a dominix 3 times.
First time i gave all the byom minerals to a guy i hardly knew. He was all friendly saying 'sir' to me, then promptly proceeded to take off with my minerals.
Take two: Got my dom, got bored after about a month, gave it to a friend for safekeeping (why dunno). Returned after about a month, friend gone, dom gone.
Take three: Yarrr enemie pilot, non sanciotned, empire space, no insurance... nuff said (stopped mining thereafter).
Nother one... After taking a break, me and a friend decided to hit the game again and become the terror of EVE. No money, no ship etc. A friend lent me his kitted maller (which was a phat ship back then). I assumed it was still ok to attack non corp gangmembers. Decided to scare him by locking and firing. Gank fleet warps in...1less maller. But the story goes on! So i get another maller with lesser kit (insurance payout had to cover it). We camp the first 0.0 gate in alliance space. Along comes an alliance mammoth, waving at his 'friendly' alliance mates 'guarding' the gate. We lock him down, my friend start launching cruismissiles from his blackbird, i shout YARRR pay or die, guy is like: howm??, my friend keeps launching cruisemissiles, i'm like O_o, it's an indy ya know!? Guy goes splat, pod goes plat two (cruise splash back then). He drops a load full of mercoxit. We feast on the goodies (ahum) i take 2 units into my hold, my friend takes 3 units (yay). 10 seconds later an entire alliance gankfleet warps in, we spend the next couple of days running and hiding ^^. l33t! |

Some things I did in the old days:
- Mining Plagioclase in 0.8 and making a mil thinking it was a huge sum - Fitting shield boosters on my gallente ships - Not knowing how the capacitor works or that capacitor power relaxs existed until I got my first Megathron after 1 or 2 months worth of mining Plagioclase in a Vexor and later a Brutix - Loosing my first Brutix in 0.5 to Concort with a pal using a smartbomb - Loosing my second Brutix in a level 2 mission because I attacked an amarr navy fleet even though it stated the fleet was not to be attacked - i thought I could kills the frigs of that fleet. Unfortunately all locked on to me and killed me within 10 seconds. - Being terrified of below 0.5 space

My first day I asked in the noob corp channel "how do I mine?" and this guy said "did you do the turorial?"... I said no... then he said "The one thing I hate more then a noob is a lazy noob"... and I was laughed at by almost everybody in the channel .
A bit later, when I got my first megathron, I couldn't use large guns.. so I ran a full set of 250mm rails.. I thought I was the bomb.
My buddy Necrologic used to run 3 1mn ab's on his crow (pre-mwd/ab changes)... and whats worse is we thought it was cool.
All that being said, you have to keep in mind that this was over a year and a half ago (maybe more.. can't remember).
