My first experience in a Wormhole was amazing, a friend of mine and I had been trying to get into eve for awhile and decided after several trials trying everything from mining to missioning to pirating that we would try exploration. From my time in a missioning and wardec corp I had some combat experience and some skills sufficient to fly a drake.
We entered the WH with my friend acting as a scout with a tier 1 frigate with minimal skills no cloak and a probe launcher and I in a basic fitted poorly skilled caracal >.> . We were having fun just messing around found a c1 sleeper site and did the entire complex. My buddy salvaged the site and thats when we found it.
Nanoribbons, WOW we were rich! Within 15 minutes of shooting things we made 30m isk! We were so ecstatic about our discovery that we had finally found our niche in Eve. We went back and sold away and split everything down the middle. We returned to another C1 thinking this would be just as succesful, unfortunately we were very wrong. We were dropped on by a t3 looking for a fight. We immediately jumped, I wasn't even familiar with the name of the ship (when I was missioning I dont even think t3 were out yet). Using the skills I had learned from wardec we used safe spots and rapid jumps to stay away from the handful of ships with combat probes. We had no cloaks and no way to avoid confrontation except just to keep jumping and making safespots. We chatted them up in local as we dodged, they were nice guys but very intent on ending our little trip. We then made a sudden realization, we had never bookmarked our entrance xD, in desperation we scanned out another wormhole and ended up even deeper in WH space, being pursued by this fleet. There was little we could do except keep trying to rapidly jump and escape, eventually we got caught.
They popped my friends ship, I evaded for a little while longer, but gave up knowing it was futile and my fit wasnt worth more then 50m. They were impressed with our evasion in the fun chase and liked our attitude that we had kept in local with them. They had so much fun messing with us, they offered for us to join the corp, payed for our losses and gave us a free trip back to hi sec (they podded us :P). I promptly accepted and have been playing in WH space when I've been active ever since.
The best experience in EVE for me to this day, I think thats something worth making a Sandbox story about :) |
