Noob wanders into lowsec for the first time with his shiny new cruiser, meets his first player pirate. It usually goes a little something like this:

My first loss was in a starter system (Couster) on my third or fourth day in the game.
Loved it so much I immediately moved to lowsec and was killed many times over.
Wouldn't change a thing about that experience. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

*screen fades out* *5 years ago*
After a few beers I was feeling overconfident in my brand new frigate... told my corpmate that I could take him... turns out corpmate was a multi year veteran even though he sounded like a teenager... he promptly murderd me. I rallied two other newbies for great justice to try and kill him... we almost got his assault frig but our laughable tactics and murderous zeal led to all of us being soundly blown up. He reimbursed us for "good effort. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

I'll tell you about my first pvp, back then when I just startet to play.
First:
Me: I got a Drake now, lets how long that cranky old ferox lasts in lowsec... *5 Minutes Later* Me: Well, that was fast... o_O
Second:
Budy of mine: OH MY GOD DEBS! INCOMING WE'VE GOT A SPIKE INCOMING! ALIGN ALIGN ALIGN! DOCK UP DOCK UP DOCK UP!!!! Me: Why? I got a powerfull Drake, and what's a spike, doesn't sound that bad is it a frig- *30 Seconds Later* Me: Oh THAT'S a spike... o_O
Some time later, stopped counting by then:
Buddy of mine: lololol, found some hulks in the local belt lololol... Me: I got a fresh batch of cormorants finished, anybody want some? :) *2 Minutes Later*
Me: lol, never thought we'd actually get all of them. xD Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

My absolutely first loss in eve was on another character, account I tried out maybe three years ago. I wanted to be a smuggler so I used to move tobacco and anti-biotics around in low-sec. Using my full out cargo, no tank Mammoth. In retrospect I'm truly amazed that the mammoth survived for as long as it did.
I had amazing luck with that thing. FIlled to the brim with anti-biotics I jumped into a camp in Old Man Star. Though - yup this is it. Then queue Orca loosing his gate cloak right behind me. What finally got that mammoth was a Talos on the undock in some Amarr low-sec. On that last trip it broke even. |

my first PVP experience was getting station camped by a hi sec wardeccer. I undocked and died. Reshipped and grabbed a couple of corp mates. We warped in and died.
Much fun was had by all.
I assume the guy that popped us was either impressed a bunch of noobs had the stones to come in guns blazing, or he was just grateful for 'content' because after the battle we had a nice little chat and he reimbursed our losses :)
Fleet mining ops just didn't have the same draw after that. |

My first loss was a Merlin somewhere in 0.0. Lord Zap and his m0o Corp. cronies (at the time) arrived at the station just as I had undocked. When I re-docked I saw my Merlin in spacedock for a brief instant before it quite suddenly turned into a pod. That was so long ago I can't even find it on the killboards.
It was hilariously embarrassing because while I was typing something along the lines of "shall we play cat and mouse," my ship was already destroyed. Lord Zap promptly responded "Looks like I already won."  If you like any of the older ship models (original artwork) better than the redesign of your favorite hull and don't want them to be lost forever, support ship customization and this feature request. |

my first loss was a triple-tanked (yup) tristan somewhere in Verge Vendor lowsec (waaaay pre current KMs ... so it's been lost to time).
Gave a (suspect) newbie* his first taste of getting shot yesterday, and he got his pod out . As annoyed as I am that I didn't get to see what's inside (note to self, pre-heat point next time ), still give him props for that. Hope he'll log in and be receptive to a chat today, rather than rage and stuff.
* Notes, because someone will scream foul ...
- Was not in a newbro system - He was suspect before I got to that system - Not 100% convinced he's really a newbro One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

My first loss was to one of you guys, bravely mining in a Navitas in Seyllin, lowsec, two years ago.

My first loss?
Over the years there have been so many that they have merged into a horrible litany of death and destruction.
A catalogue of "how not to do it" if you will. With every loss I learn a valuable lesson. That lesson is that ships are valuable and getting more so every time I have to buy a new one.
Still the loss that stands out in my mind is getting ganked in a shuttle as I jumped into lowsec on my second day in game to have a look around and ran into a gate camp of 20 ships. I was mesmerised by the ships and bright flashy lights and trails of weapons fire that lit up my shuttle for a second before it disintegrated around me. That's when I learned of another eve tradition, the podding, the subsequent waking up in a new clone, and the obligatory evemail of gloating.

Think my first losses were in the starter system to Concord. I kept trying to kill other rookies whenever any of the starter missions annoyed me. Luckily they found it entertaining and I quite enjoyed being squished by Concord. Probably why none of my earlier losses are particularly memorable.
The earliest two I rmember was when I'd switched to a mining character so I could spend time reading guides and grind up the ISK for learning skillbooks. Someone can flipped me, so I ended up switching to mining in a Badger. Seriously, I spent about 10 hours the following weekend mining, was ready to quit. Then went and hauled NPC trade goods into null. Ran into a gatecamp and died - and at this point got interested again. I must have turned all effects and sounds on because the explosion was spectacular and made me burst out laughing.
Later ones were all against corpies in highsec, we used to mess about quite a lot (and ran corp tournies). First proper loss was when a corpie went nuts during a tourney and podded a couple of people, so we all went and 1v1'd him. In our mission ships lmao, that was a mistake.
We had a few highsec wars which we fought rather than got ganked in. Lost a fair bit in those but it was a good way to get into PVP and get over the jitters. Once you've lost a few ships you start getting it into perspective (helps if you get a few KMs along the way). TO THE RIPARDMOBILE! |

My first pvp experience: "Oh look a wormhole..."
Heron blows up to a missile volley from a Tengu. Received 5 mils from the guy with the message "Buy a new ship. Stay out of wormholes." Did that ever since. :D The money he gave me were actually more than the Heron and I bought skills and modules and stuff. So in a way the dude actually helped me.

I got sent into low sec by a mission and my ship got absolutely melted by an old school 7 heat sink geddon. I was so awestruck by it that the pilot inspired me to take up pvp and become a pirate and around 2 years later he became my CEO by sheer coincidence. We both had a good laugh about it when I realized who he was. |

First pvp experience and immediatly a loss was when i had mined over 2 months to build myself a raven -that's in the time when the best way to mine was in an apoc btw around 2004/2005 - and once i had finished building it i boarded it , undocked and set destination to ecp-8 ... it died 20 minutes later in ecp-8 .
That loss was one of the best things i have experienced in eve tbh till this day , taught me a LOAD of lessons in one go.

My first PvP experience was with a different account. I had mined for two weeks in a bantam and desided to cash in my effort. So I took my new badger that I barely could offord and flew to the best price I could find on the market. Like 5 jumps later I enter low sec. Like 5 seconds later I was podded and laughed at. Apparently I was a "f*cking noob". Two years later I come back and start a new account. That was 2 years ago. |

My First Time was with, I think, R1FTA (and by "with" I mean "on the receiving end"). I had taken a Velator into Lowsec to do some mining when I was only a few days old, and one of them warped into a belt with me when I was half-through a single cycle. I got pointed and webbed, and he attempted to ransom me.
I laughed at it, shot the **** with him for a minute or two as he tried to ransom with me, then set my ship to self destruct. He blasted me at this point, then, and because I didn't yet have an Escape tab created, I ended up getting my pod pointed, as well. I promptly set up my pod to self destruct, and the guy tried to barter with me for ransom (getting down to a million ISK, which was significant at that point in time for me) until he popped my pod at about 30 seconds left.
I sent him a mail after commenting that if he had waited about 30 seconds longer to grab me, he would have been able to make a few hundred-thousand ISK off the ore I would have mined. He replied, complimenting me on how "cheeky" (his word) I was, and that he liked that attitude.
It was probably one of the best moments I had ever had in an MMO. Ransoms are accepted in Isk, Ships, Mods, and Dolls. |

My first PvP experience was when a ganker followed me into a mission - me in a cruiser, him in a battleship. He hit me with a swarm of T2 drones, then after blowing up my ship and scramming my pod, offered to release me for 1 ISK and a warning that since I'm a noob and don't know much, THIS time he'll be nice about it.
It's okay. I immediately put him in my contacts with good standings. Every time he logs, I get his picture on my screen. After a few years, I too could use a T2 ship with T2 gear and T2 drones. I tracked him down using locator agents. Found him in a station, then camped it. He came out. He blew up. I gave him 1 ISK, with a message that read: You don't remember me, do you.
