I cant tell you how many times I have forgotten to use drones because I get so damn excited. I have forgotten to turn off overheating, forgotten to turn ON hardners and experienced difficulty making rational decisions, it's like the adrenaline overpowers my ability to think. my first time I even lost my pod because I could not SEE the warp button, my brain panicked!
Thanks to training on singularity though I have gotten much better at PVP but still makes me shaky / sweat. |

Popping ventures no longer gets me the shakes, but each time you attack something that can shoot back you might have just sprung the trap, or gave a lurking neutral an opening. That is what makes lowsec pvp & piracy so enjoyable for me. |

2010 player here.. and yup, I do.
Recently, I was just cruising through null in my prowler, picking up my PI from some planets like always. People never seemed to be camping the gates/systems I go through these days, lazily I come back, suddenly BAM 2 reds on gate, bubbles go up before
I realise they're dictors, Adrenaline pumps go overtime, I hold cloak, watch their movements, then make a break for it.
align, cloak, realign, watch their movements, realign, slowly sneaking out of the bubble, something stuck in my throat as one of them passes me by at 2.4 km.. then I'm out of the bubble and warp off.
I give them a Good try in local and thank them for the little extra excitement, they greet me back with smiles and 'next time gadget, next time..'.
Good times. Other recent encounters, our gang fighting off wartargets, moving, fleet warping, scouting, then engaging. Making those hard calls on wether to engage or not, split fleet, reform fleet, get the tackle where they need to be and lure the enemy in.
Kills are made. GFs in local, and I sit back panting from my job as FC, which gives even bigger rush of adrenaline.

same the fleet thing i don't get any more.
I have recently started interdicting an area of hostile sov and preventing all ratting and the thrill of stalking the tengu in a relic site and chasing a tengu/blackbird/nightmare into a plex with my stratios was immense. I almost died to the nightmare because i had turned my AB on but hadn't started moving.
Some small gang stuff can be quite a rush too.
I think it is a combination of what you are risking (time spent earning isk for the ship) vs value of target vs how much your decisions will effect the fight, Large fleets i suspect are only exciting for the FC's and a few people in the fleet for whom this is their only PVP.
Stalking something whilst cloaked and stressing about whether you can lock and point it in time seems especially adrenaline spikey though.
Money at its root is a form of rationing.
When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is.

When I started I wasn't afraid to lose anything, didn't know about corps rejecting people with bad kill stats and got some hilarious lossmails. Never really phased me.
Then I joined a corp where the CEO was pretty big on shaming anyone who made us look too juicy (in hisec) and had a zero tolerance for things that could maybe possibly ever get you killed. When I lost a viator on a kick station I freaked, real bad back pain. My wife called the doc and he actually had her call an ambulance thinking I had an aortic aneurism.
So now when I get tackled I just go make myself a sandwich, take a walk and come back to a fresh new clone and ship already waiting for me.
Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.-á |

I still get pretty hefty shivers in solo fights and in small, personal gangs. I have to run a trip around the block or do pushups to get it out of my system afterwards, which would otherwise be quite out of character for me.
However, in more impersonal fleet fights, the FC makes the decisions and everything else is just so much SRP.

I get the classic shakes when I'm alone and fighting. Being podded seems to make me less nervous for some reason. I think maybe because there isn't anything I can really do.
I don't feel hardly anything at all if I'm in a fleet ganking someone who won't win.
If I'm in a fleet fighting someone who can win, I don't get the shakes per say, but I get nervous in another kind of way as a fear of letting my fleetmates down. There can be shakes if I'm primaried.
Fleet commanding gives the shakes, but FCing is also just plain exhausting for some reason. |

My most recent PVP loss really gave me the shakes.
I'd been working on fixing my security status, mostly by blitzing L4 missions in an Ishtar that was PVP fitted (but active tanked). Given that I have public killrights available against me most of the time, I treat highsec as similar to lowsec and exercise quick precautions. I D-scan pretty often, looking for both probes and ships.
Anyway, before I've even been probed down, I derp, shoot the wrong trigger and am forced to warp off from rats at 10% armor and next to no cap. Being in a one-station system I repair my armor in space and get cap to 20% or so, then warp back to a very well laid trap on the in-gate to the mission. A suspect Vexor buys my cheapest killright (flagging me suspect) and scrams and webs me. Three Ogre IIs start to work on me.
I quickly establish that the opponent is armor buffer tanked (you never know with a Vexor) and make a decision that was in hindsight wrong - I choose to attack the hull, not the drones. I'm managing what little cap I have, rationing it, alternating my local repper between off, on and overheated, balancing capacitor and thinking I will pull it off. I'm ready to overheat all four blasters as soon as they are in structure.
It's not to be - the trap the opponent had set ensured that they caught me with full cap while I had next to none, and on an active tanked ship, cap is life. I pop and get my pod out, and give a GF in local.
I think that's my biggest loss so far (I fly very cheap ships). ~350m ISK isn't much to me at all, but having even that amount on the line just made the encounter so much more exciting.

I consider myself a somewhat knowledgable newbie. Not a vet and not an average eve player.
I never pvp in any game. I have spent less than 1 hour in pvp in ALL MMOs I have ever played (been playing for 11 years now).
That said, almost all I do in EVE is pvp. And I shake and get sweaty palms every time. I get nervous and everything.
Even worse, the group I roam with Scope WERKs, has me FC sometime so feel like the blind leading the blind.
But we do well. We overcome. Our losses aren't meaningful other than isk and learning experiences. It's why I am totally for my group. It's thrilling. I actively know of some corps and alliances that are my enemies and others that are allies now. Hard to manage that... But nice to have pals when needed.
I won't ever not be nervous in pvp. But, I can act like a champion and keep it together to get my men through the tough situations we get into.
I love EVE. I love my enemies more than my allies... They bring the action!! |

TL;DR
Sometimes. Like a few days ago, one of my alts attacked a miner in an ice belt out in 0.0. I felt the rush, my hands were shaking, heart pounding, etc. It was awesome
Then today that same alt got jumped while in a Stratios vs a pilgrim. I had the initial "OH ****!" moment, but after a few i calmed down.. it was actually a very boring fight. i was out of cap after getting him to 1/4 shield and had to seriously wait 4 min before his buddy came in to finish me off. I was seriously like 'HTFU and kill me'
If i know i am dying, i don;t get that feeling usually a small rush that passes once i get fired and realize i am dead. |

Depends. Not in a big fleetfight, in small gang and solo stuff - yes, and hope it doesn't go away. You know it was close when your hands are still shaking after the fight (or a close getaway.)

I'm an '08 player, and I'll see soon enough if I get that feeling again. I stopped playing for a while when the game lost meaning for me. There were other things to do. Don't remember my log in info for the other Character and thought, it'd be fun to start all over again.
