Greetings, fellow pilots!
I've come to make a simple request:
Please share your stories of good deeds that others have done for you.
Did anyone ever help you out when you were down on your luck? Has a perfect stranger come to your aid in space? Is there a shoulder upon which you often cry?
Good people seem to be underappreciated. I think it would be nice if we all show some gratitude for the do-goodery that has brightened our lives.
Also, let's try to be classy here and refrain from patting ourselves on the back.

I only remembered those who shot at me while I was down on my luck, those who shot at me when I was in need of aid, those who shot at me when I needed a shoulder to cry on and those who shot at me out of the blue.
So I shot others while down on my luck, shot others when I needed aid and shot others when I want to cry. And also out of the blue.
Jokes aside, the only good people I had ever encountered are baseliners. There's far too many names and details to truly remember in full.
- Would very much love to cobble anyone who insinuates that I am a loyalist in the head with a 125mm calibre Fusion round.

I like the idea of this thread--a welcome change from most of the articles I read on these forums. I'll post a few stories later, but for now I'm looking forward to hearing people actually give others compliments, rather than the usual insults we're used to here.

It's hard to remember the good people have done for you. The memories fickle and fade, washed away by the sea of destructive behaviour, often aimed in a random direction until you happen to cross its path. |

Terra Matar taught me to respect my heritage, even if I couldn't understand it. I admit, the process on this has been slow, and I may have said some inflammatory things, and I am still no fan of the Republic; I am however, no longer ashamed of my heritage. That has been like a burden lifted off of me. So, everyone who was a part of that organization has my appreciation.
Also, when I was down and out, feeling bad about friends parting in different directions, Ghost Hunter was there for me, offering me purpose and a place within his alliance, and to that I am eternally grateful. |

Your timing is interesting, Norrin. Just last night I found myself surrounded by friends supporting me to help me get through some personal difficulties.
I can't tell a long story now, as I'm feeling self-conscious about dictating this. But, I can name people who have helped me along my way.
Aria Jenneth, for showing me a path to hope. Garion Avarr, for being a father to me that my heritage has denied. Nicoletta Mithra, for believing in me and seeing past my anger. Vincent Pryce, for always having my back. Halcyon Ember, for giving me a home. Cassandra Blackflayme, for chasing away the nightmares.
There are others, so many others. And together, they make me wealthier than any amount of ISK ever will. |

Hmm, well, I suppose a few names come to mind.
Firstly, I'd say Aria Jenneth, who was the first pod pilot I met to go out of her way to speak to me when I was clueless new Capsuleer, even without having to ask, and talk to me extensively about what to expect as a Capsuleer and how best to deal with the other people in the general community, as well as providing me with a lot of interesting private discussion on more occasions then I could count down the road. Though logically unlikely, I hope that she's doing well, wherever she is.
Secondly, Natalcya Katla, for picking up where she left off, as well as just being someone to confide in. She may not be perfect - Something many people have gone out of their way to remind me of - but she's far kinder and more understanding then the vast majority of Capsuleers I've met.
And I suppose I'd also say my CEO, Saede Riordan, for being very understanding and discreet about an issue incredibly personal to me despite me never returning the favour with her own. Also, for tolerating my presence in her system despite me being the most ineffectual and fickle employee she has likely every had.
There are probably more, but my head feels foggy today.

Maybe sir Aldrith Shutaq, for giving me a place to stay at and feel at home. And sir Marellus too.
I do not feel like to share personal stories. But I feel that I must thank the handful of people that helped me and that I still have to help in return. |

Ok i got something..
Dim the lights for this one...i don't know the man's name..almost as if he was some guardian angel..
It was the 15th of September 116YC...It was a hot afternoon on the planet Reschard II, i was using a Sentinel type suit carrying around a MH-82 Heavy machine gun, my job was to mow down everything in my path...very simple..but i was a slow target and could quickly be flanked..and i was
A cloaked scout sneaked up behind me and blasted me at close range with a Shotgun..i collapsed at the crushing blow combine with the weight of my suit..Before my attacker finished me off a Beautifully placed Scrambler rifle shot priced the scout's armor like it was paper
i looked over to my right to see a Shining Amarrian Logistic suit running towards me in slow motion , i swear from the looks of it the guy had angel wings...The guy was dodging bullets and tank fire as he sprinted his way towards me
The Amarrian ( i guess he was Amarrian?) dragged my dieing body into cover and stabbed me with a nanite injector, i felt a amazing rush of adrenaline and the painkillers made me feel like a new clone..He helped me to my feet and pulled out a armor repping tool and told me he has my back
I picked my HMG off the floor and mad a push for the objective, the Amarrian stayed close behind me with that repair tool patching up my armor as i took the hits, We both single handily took the objective together
Thank you based logi..Thank you |

Coldkill - I couldn't have asked for a finer comrade-in-arms
Slinktress - Nobody else could have held that alliance together like she did.
Ethan Verone - for teaching me to nuance my world view.
Kyoko Sakoda - who caught me when I fell.
Ciarente Roth - for teaching me what the word "family" really means.
Silver Night - for proving that good ideals outweigh bad allegiances.
Nicole - who deserved a better husband.
Kyllsa - whose example has helped me find my balance.
Two others - for being my brothers. You know who you are.

Ava, for more reasons than I can say.
Morwen, for being there when I needed a friend,
Arkady Sadik, for teaching me to shut up and get on with it.
Vincent Pryce, for always welcoming me even when we were enemies.
Desiderya, for giving me a purpose.
She's mad but she's magic, there's no lie in her fire.

Kyoko and Stitcher both shame me for not including Ethan Verone. He is unashamedly a pirate, but he taught me honor and the importance of one's word as bond.
Kyoko Sakoda, your modesty makes you easy to overlook. You taught me how to fight with grace and finesse, and you help set me on the path that has intersected with those that I've already named. |

What seems like a lifetime ago, a young pilot was mining hard to make enough money to buy his first battleship when a richer, more able pilot offered to sell him one at a reduced price and to lend him a large chunk of the money.
I was that young pilot, and the benefactor was Aralis.

Likewise I won't make any long winded expositions but simply acknowledge fellow pilots who've greatly influenced me:
Ava Starfire; my very close friend, mentor and shaman. Sarrapis; sister, confidant and moral compass. Kyllsa Siikanen; mentor, spiritual adviser, my personal speaker of truths. Arkady Sadik; who taught me about professionalism and duty. Sonja Dragooran; who recruited me into Gradient, mentored me and showed me that pilots can be good people. Shalinea Vyvorant: for her cupcakes and irrepressible joy of life.
When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

Foley Jones. For being the most amusing person I ever met. Thank you for the plushie titan as well! Scherezad. For everything you did. Too much to write, but if you will hear me and will need anything, just ask. Damar Rocarion. General. Did for the State more than any other capsuleer. First General. Commander. Traitor. Warrior. And the best damn strategist I have ever met in my life. Despite abandoning everything we are fighting for, what he has taught me, I highly value and appreciate. Subsparx. For uniting us when we need it the most. Isis Dea. Despite I will never approve your way of life, I highly value your expensive presents. Thanks! Evelyn Meiyi. I know we aren't in good terms anymore, but I appreciate your company, that you gave me when I needed it. Pieter Tuulinen. For giving me all these adventures and awareness that I am still alive. Mika. For patching me like crazy when I was perforated like a colander. Arista Shahni. I would like to say you big thank you for all your support to me when I needed, even when I was acting like I don't need it. Thank you. Thal Vadam. Thank you for the training lessons and for the sword. Lunarisse Aspenstar. Thank you for being kind and diplomatic. It helped me a lot, and not just me. Thank you again.
And of course Tibus Heth. He gave me reason to live. He made me to be proud to be who I am. He have inspired me.
And please excuse me, if I didn't mention you (if you did something for me), I love you all regardless! (except enemies of the State, of course - you all just die, please) |

Deuce Halcyon, my wingman and dear friend, was the one who suggested the capsuleer life to me in the first place. He then guided me through my first few weeks after graduation despite our different paths (at the time). He gave me a few ships and some starting funds, and introduced me to the Chief Executive Panel personnel that I currently work with.
Rixx Javix, inveterate pirate and vaunted mascot for lowsec piracy, blew up my first Drake and then graciously welcomed me into his corp. The members of Stay Frosty. are still family to me, and their tutelage has helped me protect the lives of my civilian employees countless times.
The greatest friends I have ever had, though, are some of my "baseliner" crew members. Nelos, my right-hand man, was a problem student in the Literary Theory class I taught in my previous life. When I became a capsuleer I gave him a job and a purpose. In exchange he has been my companion and guardian, my voice of reason, and my closest friend. |

Charles. I can't remember everything about our relationship before I went missing. I know that I had a file titled "divorce papers" on my tablet, and pages of journal entries filled with unhappiness. I know things weren't good, and that they had possibly never been good between us. But when I was kidnapped, you never gave up on me. Everyone else did. The Federation ruled me officially deceased and distributed my will to the people I thought would be there forever. They weren't. Maybe they were unhappy about it, but a week, two weeks, a month passed and they moved on. They accepted my official fate. I don't blame them for giving up on me; I would have, too. There was little chance I made it out of that station alive after it blew, and the chance grew smaller each day that passed. The math added up. It didn't matter the cause or the time, I was dead. But you never believed it. I wish I could say that you were strong for my memory, but I know you, Charles. I know you must have stopped sleeping at night. I know you must have cried and screamed until your throat bled, and then screamed some more. You haven't told me much of anything about what happened to you while I was gone. There's no need. Other capsuleers in Summit crack jokes about how determined, how obsessed you were. Those jokes fall flat. I can hear hints of fear and admiration in their tone. You found me. You beautiful, wretched man. I wasn't the same woman whose finger you slipped into a gasket ring. I remember those first weeks of neural therapy, when the brain damage was so bad I couldn't speak and could barely walk. I can recall the big dumb smile you had on your face when you helped me eat my food. You praised my progress when I was so frustrated I was pushed to tears. You may not have been strong for my memory, cheri, but you were strong for my shadow. It's been months since I've returned. You haven't stopped smiling. I drop plates and break them. I stutter and slur. You haven't once lost your patience. If anyone deserves to be appreciated as a good person, it's you.
Sammie, My goodness, I don't know where to start. You are my oldest friend, and really, I can't remember the day we first met. Then again, knowing how I was during my first year of uni, that might be a good thing. You probably remember, though. You remember everything. Your old nickname around campus was "Chipper," I don't know if you had heard that. It was because you walked around like you had a chip on your shoulder, and because your mouth could serve as a wood chipper. People go in, bloody chunks came out. It was definitely not because of your demeanor. When Charles and I talk about you privately, we still refer to you as Chipper. That's the thing, though. You never let go of grudges because you never forgot anything. When you said something, it was fact. "I'll never forgive you," "I'll be there at 930," "I will never let you forget this." Every word released from your mouth is a promise. It took a few months before I could speak your language, but when I could, I made sure you would never be able to get rid of me. You have been a pillar in my life. I joke around about being a dumb floozie during my uni years, but you know the sober facts behind the humor. I was often drunk, likely doing something dangerous, and always acting out because I was miserable. I needed the stability you gave me. You said you would be there at 930, you would show up on time, right to the second, and even something as small as your timeliness made my life more bearable. I could rely on you, although I couldn't rely on anyone else. Especially myself. Sometimes, I sit alone and smile to myself, because I'm so relieved you and Charles connected while I was gone. I know he was broken. He doesn't talk to anyone he was friends with before, and I know it was because he cut everyone off in the wake of my disappearance. You, though. You didn't let him, did you? I can imagine it clearly: you must have broke into his workshop and shaken some sense into him. Or you scolded him until he pulled himself together. I'm no expert on your methods. Charles must have clung to you like a lifeboat in the deep sea, and I bet he wouldn't have made it through if not for you. Don't you think I don't know the things you've done for him and me. I thank a higher power I did meet you, even if I can't remember it, and I thank that higher power twice for convincing you to put up with me for so many years. Here, let me appreciate you for being a good person. |

From what I know, he dissappeared a year after that with rumors of him somehow rebuilding his ship, but nothing concrete. It's like the jovians just swallowed him whole or something.
