no need to be a **** about it, is there ****y?
Yes, of course there was.. for.. some reason. And was there any reason to call me a **** for saying that he had bumped an old thread?

most noobish thing I did was shortly after the game launched.
Lord Zap and his buddies had been harrasing us near ammold and the surrounding area fairly reguarly...
So I got together around 20 - 30 players in noob ships and frigs fitted with a random assortment of guns and things that went boom..
we headed out about 4 jumps or so to Zaps known haunt and attempted to attack them... shortly to find out they had a thing called a cruiser and sentry guns were not keen on noob ships.
After about 10 minutes of chaos and a very messy gang chat we headed home in pods or clones pretty much slaugtered to a man..
Passed through the very site it all happened at a few days ago for the first time in over 2 years and it put a smile on my face remembering the chaos.
Proving natural selection and Charles Darwin wrong since 1981.

Killed the pod of a -3.5 character (with a small bounty) at a station in Rens thinking they were fair game. Just 3 seconds afterwards realised that Concord really didn't approve... and the sentries hurt... and my 1st brand new rupture wasn't insured.
Spending my entire wallet on trade goods and hauling them around 0.2 systems... how I never bumped into pirates I have no idea but then, this was when player numbers were yet to reach 10K on Sundays.

Spent 20 minutes trying to find out how to undock.
Bought a Kestrel and realised it had no guns.
Bought light fof missiles and realised they hit everything apart from what you were shooting at.
Bumped into an AFK Sinister cruiser at a JIP, panicked hit all my weapons and killed him. Then apologised because I didn't realise he was AKF.
Went into Catch in a Blackbird and realised I was the only one there apart from about three EVE Marshals.
Went on my first fleet maneuver with SPC and lost my cruiser to belt rats. On the way back through PF-346 in a pod I came nose to nose with a Sinister Corp Thorax. He probably thought I had already had a bad day and hessitated when two Rona cruisers warped in and saved my neck. Syndicate is a lonely place in a pod.

- Used to fit 5 medium shield extenders on a blackbird.
- Going to missiles because with my 1m SP, i was saying "beh, my 425mm railgun makes only damage like a light missile, missiles are uber woot!". Naturally I was shooting frigates at medium/close range.

I'm only 6 months old so I'm still a noob. I guess I still have a few stupid moves in my bag.
I was in my first corp training skills like crazy to get ready for a corp frig tournament. I had trained to use nos and webbers in secret and I wanted to show off a bit before the tournament. A corp mate contacts me telling me about his new supah-doopah-pirate-frig. Someone had sold him a Daredevil for 1 mil (the guy didn't want it anymore). So he's there, telling me how happy he is about his new ship and all and I'm there thinking "Hey, we could both test our new ships/mods!" so I talk him into a small PvP match. I jump on him with autocannons blazing, nos nossing and webber webbing. Take out his shields. Take out the armor. Thinking "Alright, I've made my point. I better let him go". I start to stop my guns as I see his hull going down a bit too fast. Click, click, click... should be fine... where is that autocannon sound coming from?... BOOM! damn. I missed one of my guns and finished him off.
I destroyed his 20 mil ship about 20 minutes after he got it because I was too excited about how fun PvP was and how kick ass my new mods were. I still feel bad about it.
Bought the multi-tasking skillbook.
Tried lvl 2 missions in a destroyer while having really poor skills.
Thought, "My tank can take it!"... famous last words.
Found the "Create Bookmark" button a month a go.

Awesome thread
* Upped charisma stats on char creation, cuz this game was ALL about trading, right?
* Bought skillbooks for several millions, I would offcourse need them all right away. For some reason they did not appear in the Items hangar? Must have bought every single one
2 or 3 times. Spent several hours collecting them all over essence, while cursing my stupidity
* I felt invincible in my Thorax
* Mining was a great way to make isk. (ok i guess it is for some...)
* Autopilot you say? Where??

Lost my first Thorax to the Oipo cruiser spawn because I used 150mm railguns and light drones. I think I may have shield tanked it too...
First ship I lost in PvP was a Celestis. I warpscrambled a stargate instead of the enemy frigate and the sentries took me down. In my defence, the tactic worked - the stargate didn't warp out.

Spent most of the first week mining I remember clearly on day 2 or 3 seeing someone mining in an exequror and thinking it looked sooo coool....
Fitted my first catalyst destroyer a few days later with a row of beam lasers (hey - they were the best guns in Elite - they must be good  ) and a shield tank - wondered why I kept running out of cap.....

I'd been playing for well over a month before I realised you could recycle stuff. Thought you just had to trash it if it wasn't worth selling. |

Lost a few frigates, got torn a new ******* for not aligning fast enough, accidently jumped backwards instead of forward and in the end participated in a couple of HAC kills.

Spent too long in a carebear corp and didn't get out into 0.0 space straight away 
Waited waaaaaaay to long to get into PvP
Showed my brother Eve whilst drunk on the day I got my first cruiser, it lasted the six jumps to Jan before the ever present pirate blockade there nuked it 
Used to NPC hunt Sanshas battleshipes and try cover mining ops in an Apocolypse with medium guns on and never died

Early on in EVE I thought it was a darn good idea to turn on 'avoid recent pod kill zones' in the autopilot settings. This was during a major alliance war. The trip from amsen to jita took about 45 jumps.

chose an intaki as a charater....
realising how sucky they where after 2 weeks i desided "i was to late"
now 15 months later im still regreting i chose intaki >_<
rofl, same for me.
Tried to make money with a light shield booster BPO, but then I got told I will never get rich that way .
Then I started PvP and I got told my attributes suck, but I thought that after 4 month its not worth to start again.
And I didnt notice you could move your head around on character creation, costed me only 10$

pff, I was afk in hed-gp cause the autopilot was buggy back then. I had to go shopping, so I just activate autopilot and wanted to jump to Kari. Well the autopilot didnt jumped and I stood full 3h next to the Kari gate in Hed-Gp in a BB.
About 5 people called me gatehugger in local. One even shooted me into armor it seemed, but I was alive 
Another story: I tried to attack a SPVD Apoc in my BB, but back in the days of JIP you got killed before your screen loaded most of the time. So my plan to jamm the apoc and then kill him in my Blackbird failed miserably.

I took my first Maller out to a spawn point some 30 jumps from my main base. When I got there I saw some drones in space just left there. I started shooting them just because, then the guy who owned them warped in with his Dominix and owned my 2 hour old Maller. I have never liked members of GODS ever since
Nor have I returned to that spawn location :>

Fitted a domination webber to a kessie.
Lost it as soon as I undocked when a warring corporation shot the hell out of me.
Had no idea they were worth upwards of 60million isk.

I'm glad this got bumped or I'd have missed it, and I got a bunch of much needed chuckles out of this thread.
I think the noobiest thing I did was this.
I was working from home for several weeks due to an illness and I had gotten into the habit of "double fisting" (working on my laptop, Eve-ing on my desktop).
I forgot that you could change your autopilot settings to "safer systems" when hauling minerals to market, and got an IM on my laptop from a client while travelling... my attention was only away from the desktop monitor for about 10 seconds, by which time Slurpentis pirates camping in Tama had my Itty to 1/2 hull. I froze up and they podded me, at which time I discovered my next noobish mistake - although I'd been upgrading my clone on a regular basis, I had neglected to relocate it away from my birth-system in Verge Vendor to someplace nearer where I was currently living, in The Citadel.
On the bright side, I haven't made either mistake since.

after playing for about a month, i took an inquisitor to 0.0, warped to a belt to see what the rat spawns looked like, got blown up, continued to explore with my pod still in 0.0, got made fun of by people but i still thought it was funny at the time.
