I dunno if this should be a pirate thread, but who here remembers their first time getting ganked (or attempts to be ganked) by pirates.
This includes pirates because I'm sure they became who they are because of piracy. 
I had a different character then, but I remember getting my shiny new megathron and I ventured out into 0.0 space because my corp had a POS out there. I had 4 mil SP then (yes I know that was pretty stupid, but I did have lvl 1 large hybrid  .) So I got ganked by some pirates. I remember being scrambled and my computer really sucked then and had a hard time making out the frames for that blue looking scramy pulsing beam. I was ransomed, but due to the video lag, I found myself in a pod afterwards. I remember being REALLY ****ed, but with the insurance (I was a smart noob) I had enough to buy a Domi...
You'd think I'd learn, but there I was again, going to 0.0 (same route) and I got ganked by the same pirates! I quit EVE there after as most new players did 6 months after being ganked.
But I came back, so far for a year and 5 times the SP... I love this game!  What's your story?

First time I got killed was in Obe when I played in 2003. I had put 5 of the biggest railguns on a Thorax and lots of power upgrades in the lows... so I had basicly no tank and no damage mods. The gate into 0.0 from Obe was camped by another Thorax which appearently knew how to setup his ship better. Ship got destroyed and I got podded.

I was flying my shiny new Catalyst (I was a foolish newbie and got a Destroyer as soon as I could) back from the dealership to "pimp" it out. Excited me decided to take a shortcut back home through 0.4 space. I entered the system alright, aligned on the next jumpgate and warped. I'm busy oogling my new ship from all angles and don't notice the Amarr Battleship hovering next to the gate as I fall out of warp. Before I can say, "Cool, a real battleship!" I am hearing Aura telling me that I was a foolish noob and had just been podded. Hooray for insurance and clones.

I played an old alt on a secondary account, was going to start building him up. 2M skill points, npc corp for 10 months, flying an ibis into .3 space, didn't pay attention to local until after I was podded. Seems like the 'Die alt spy scum!' warning should have been heeded.
That was the first time I was podded.

You should have used the /heal command and pwned his ship in your ibis. :)

I was in a mining apoc. 2 BoB enter space and I send all my characters to station. Both BoB were in inty's and I hadnt heard of any others in intel channel so I say what the heck, I fit for battle and undock. Now remember I am a carebear through and through so I suck at pvp. Also I was an idiot and didnt keep an eye on local cause my adrenaline was pumping. I lock on to a crow and start shooting, I have him webbed and scrambled. I think the other guy was in a claw. I was pretty confindent they wouldnt be able to dent my tank. They didnt....... but.. I failed to see the other 20 BoB jump into system.. cause of the adrenaline remember. Needless to say my kill mail was cut short because of too many ships on it. I got my pod out though /cheer. Think there was like 2 tempests, 7 taranis, 3 crows, 7 claws a jag and faction stabber on me. That is from memory. I learned the hard way and have never died that way again... too bad there are so many other ways to die.

Last night 
Was mining in some .4 system through a NAP I setup with the residents of that system. When all you have is 500k skill points you have to be quite diplomatic in lowsec if you want to get things done I've learned. 
Had about 3.5 cans full and went to get the hauler when I noticed a not so familiar face in local. I figured wth, zip in and zip out with 1/8 loads in my Iteron III and make it back to the station before he can say 'YARRRR'.
About the time I got the second can tractor beamed over to my hauler and ready to warp out, my shields were getting pewpewed 
Appeared Mr. Pirate was in a Thorax with 125mm Carbide Railgun I's with a few drones and a scrambler. I harbor no ill will to his style of play, and headed off to go get another hauler and giant secure containers. Made it back in time to get all my ore and he left me well enough alone after that.
Tonight I take my Thorax to the same station as my hauler and miner (which has alot more than 125mm Carbide Rails on it(mining is very lucrative )) and hope Mr. Pirate shows up in local again.

I was flying back to a station while in a kessie in 0.0. I swear I hit the insta to the station, so why was I 12 km away...? Weird. There were people outside the station, so I'll warp to the planet and try again. Clicked the planet, hit warp, nothing. Huh? client lag? Start seeing yellow flashes. Try warping again. Nothing happens.
Frantically, I turn on my SB as either a harpy or merlin started shooting me, I tried to warp to a random belt, STILL nothing. Sitting there thinking wtf was going on, and at about that point I auto locked a commorant. At least that's what I thought for a few seconds before realizeing it was a flycatcher. So 4 ships were firing at me, and I didn't even think that I was in a bubble, it was odd because I swear I didn't see it...
Well, either way, kessie died, and I couldn't get my pod out in time. Pod went squish :(

I was ratting in Goinard in a Thorax. I was minding my own business when a Pirate found and scrambled me. It was before the Thorax was nerfed so I attacked him with my heavy drones and I think he was in a Prophecy.
Any how I managed to get out with my pod and he gave me some good advice on a Thorax advice. I'm still not much of a PvP'er but I can understand why a lot of people enjoy it as it certainly gets the Adrenaline pumping

I was returning from trade run in my Atron, tired and sleepy I decided to take shorter path through Vecamia. I knew Muffins are hanging around and I even knew one of them is camping the other gate, but I thought I can make it and/or he will not be interested in cheap frigate.
Well I was wrong :). He had good intuition and sniped me few moments before I jumped, got my pod too.

I don't have that command on any play accounts, and while a funny suggestion, I wouldn't want to deal with the fallout.

My first gank was by Ginger .
In my defense, I was a wee nublet at the time and thought I was on the safe side of the Hagilur gate. I've learnt not to read the forums when jumping into low-sec since then.

The first time I got killed, I was on my main character, Blacklight, and it was in the great northern war ...
Seriously, it was when m0o blockaded mara / passari. I was in my uber Merlin, and decided I needed to get back to the forge (what for, I don't remember). I jumped into whichever system it was (mara or passari) and promptly got my ass handed to me. Before i knew what had happened, my frigate and my pod vaporized and I woke up sticky with clone juice.
I was so ****ed for weeks, and promptly became anti-pirate. That continued for about a year,then I joined up with FRICK and now I am an uber griefer! yarrrrr

If GM Dave wasn't entirely fictional, EvE might have a counter part to him.
He may or may not actually be a GM. But he is damn funny.

first time beeing podded?
well .. one quiet evening in XZH suddenly a GOON rifter in local shows up (it was Cefte) beeing quite selfconfident i hunted him in my ranis - i thought: "it's a fecking rifter ... i can kill it easily" ... after warping between the planets i land 5k away from him ... i scram and web him and activate my blaster. he targets me ... his shields disappear. suddenly i loose lock - i only think "WTF?????!??" ... well i was thinking "WTF??!" for allmost one minute and forgot to warp my pod out after my ship became a blue explosion.
you should think i learned my lesson ... the day after he came again into XZH with his rifter .. i thought: "yeah .. no i engage him longrange .. either he dies to my Ares or i warp out if i'm jammed." ... warping to a planet on 30 .. he was on 15 .. i shoot him - he jams me - he warps to the 10/10 complex-gate. i'm warping after him on 30 .. and came directly on top of him out-of-warp (dooh .. complex gates suck you in) i try to mwd away - clicking like a maniac on the mwd-icon. nothing happens. afterwards i realized that you can't use MWD at the acceleration gate (thought it only would be so INSIDE the complex) ... well atleast i got my pod out. 
my second and last podding happened during the XZH siege. i got order to scout one of the GOON POSes ... put my ranis on a safespot - ejected and warped to 100 at the moon. i checked another POS ... and warped back on 100 to the moon of the first one .. but from a different direction. i bounced into the forcefield - thinking: "oh .. that's bad ... warp out. warp out!? ffs - warp out!!!" ... well i was stuck in the forcefield .. maybe should have moved a bit before giving the warp order. another GOONie got my podmail

Long time ago, at about 2.5mil SP's I am ratting in a .3 in a borrowed Brutix...
I spy a neutral Enyo watching me with his Vigil friend just sitting there. I finish with the rats and was about to move on my way when the Enyo comes diving in and starts to scramble me, now my tank is dropping moderately fast as I have low-SP, and I had actually mentioned this to him. He had wondered why I had a hard time with the Sansha's rats I had been fighting.
I was of course shaking as not only was this my first PvP incident, but I was in a borrowed ship that at the time was the largest thing I had ever flown, but also something that would take me weeks to replace. With my back to the wall I activated all 7 guns on him, and watched as he had to run away in structure. As it turned out, he had no idea I would be fitting 7 x Focused Medium Pulse... poor guy never stood a chance, and to this day I now rat with a scram on as it helps me to teach the stupid pirates a lesson.
FKN Cire, I declare its time for a rematch.

My first two ganks were GM. Both in Hagilur. First week in the game, running level 1 courier missions in a Probe. Then I stopped taking missions that went through there.

We don't have anyone that 'controls' our actions, but all command use, including slash commands such as heal and spawn, are logged and reviewed. As with all the employees of CCP, I happen to like my job and do not think that a few minutes of revenge is worth being fired and having my reputation (and employment potential) tarnished.

My first time was a couple of months ago (I've only been playing for three months or so). I just got a new cruiser, an Exequror, and decided to try mining in low-sec. After a couple of days mining, with nary another soul entering the belt, apart from rats, I got complacent and found myself browsing the market window while my mining lasers made little ones out of big ones.
Then on the third night, mining in the same system, in the same belt, at around the same time of day, a frigate warps in. I check his ship out, but he doesn't seem like much of a threat. He sits there for a minute and then warps away. No biggie, I thought, and went back to perusing my next big purchase.
Suddenly I was being targeted, and my first thought was how rats had managed to sneak up on me so quickly. Three ships of various sizes quickly locked me and began firing. The first volley took down half my shields, and I had a sneaking suspicion that my warp drive wouldn't work, which it didn't. My heart was pounding, and I essentially froze like a deer in headlights. I had no clue what to do, and in short order I was floating in my pod. It took me around 15 to 20 seconds to snap out of it and warp my pod out.
Taught me numerous valuable lessons that day. Watch local. Use the scanner. Fit my ship properly, etc.
